  • Patent number: 11558711
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for triggering, by a wearable computing device communicably coupled to an electronic device, a location-based request, receiving location data corresponding to a location of the electronic device, receiving altitude data corresponding to an altitude of the electronic device, detecting an initial orientation for the wearable computing device based on information from at least one sensor of the wearable computing device, generating, based on the initial orientation of the wearable computing device and location data of the electronic device, a real-world orientation for the wearable computing device, initiating tracking of the wearable computing device in response to receiving updated location data for the electronic device, and performing the location-based request based on the tracking.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20220051022
    Abstract: In one general aspect, a method can include capturing first features associated with a real-world physical area as a model and associating an AR object with a fixed location within the model. The method can include capturing second features associated with a real-world location corresponding with a portion of the real-world physical area. The method can include associating the captured second features with a location in the model, corresponding with the real-world location, as an AR anchor where the AR object is associated with the AR anchor.

  • Patent number: 11163997
    Abstract: In one general aspect, a method can include receiving a representation of a real-world scene captured by a user using a mobile device where the real-world scene is a portion of a real-world physical area. The method can include associating a location of the mobile device with an AR anchor based on a comparison of the representation of the real-world scene with a portion of a model of the real-world physical area. The method can include triggering display of an AR object associated with the model of the real-world physical area within the mobile device based on the location of the mobile device.
