  • Patent number: 11704885
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing an AR visual display to save are described. A camera of a computing device scans an area and an AR engine of the computing device extrapolates flat portions of the area. A digital representation of the area is displayed via a GUI of the computing device to allow a user to place digitally created content. The digitally created content is textual content, 2D content, 3D content, video content, and/or audio content. The AR engine receives, from a user, an action executed on a surface and at a location of the digital representation to add a tag or an anchor. The AR engine utilizes planes as indicators to save the placement of the tag or the anchor and transmits the placement of the tag or the anchor to a server. The placement of the tag or the anchor allows for viewing from other computing devices.

  • Patent number: 11636186
    Abstract: A method and a system for providing location-based augmented reality (AR) administration and management are described herein. An AR engine of a computing device receives login credentials from a user, identifies the user based on the login credentials and a privilege level associated with the user, and grants the user access to the AR engine based on the identity of the user and the privilege level associated with the user. The AR engine also selects the user to have enhanced privileges based on the identity of the user and the privilege level associated with the user. The enhanced privileges comprise granting the user increased interaction capabilities with digitally created content by the AR engine. The AR engine engages a GPS engine and/or a camera of the computing device to create a defined area in the real world for the user. If the GPS engine determines that the user is within the defined area, the user is provided the enhanced privileges.

  • Patent number: 10375009
    Abstract: An augmented reality based social network is described. In an example scenario, an augmented reality (AR) service stores user generated upon receiving the content from the user. The content includes two and/or three article(s). The AR service also receives a selected location from the user as another input. The user content is next processed for an overlay on the selected location. The user content is subject to an expiration after an initial time period. In addition, the user content is provided for a presentation on an AR display in relation to the selected location. An evaluation of the user content is also received from a viewer viewing the user content on the AR display. The time period is extended or reduced based on the evaluation.
