  • Viewing a virtual reality environment on a user device by joining the user device to an augmented reality session
    Patent number: 11165837
    Abstract: A system for augmented reality viewing generates a unique code corresponding to a user device. Information corresponding to the unique code is broadcast from the user device and the unique code is displayed on the user device. The information is configured to be received by an augmented reality device. A camera of an augmented reality device is activated upon receiving the information broadcast from the user device. The camera is configured to scan for the unique code. The user device is joined to an augmented reality session of the augmented reality device in response to the camera scanning the unique code displayed on the user device and by transmitting identification information to the user device based on the unique code. The simplified joining process improves the user experience and allows the user to more quickly view an augmented reality environment directly on a user device.
