  • SURFACE AWARE LENS
    Publication number: 20220036660
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program, and a method for rendering three-dimensional virtual objects within real-world environments. Virtual rendering of a three-dimensional virtual object can be altered appropriately as a user moves around the object in the real-world through utilization of a redundant tracking system comprising multiple tracking sub-systems. Virtual object rendering can be with respect to a reference surface in a real-world three-dimensional space depicted in a camera view of a mobile computing device.

  • Audio responsive augmented reality
    Patent number: 10445936
    Abstract: Systems, devices, media, and methods are presented for generating responsive augmented reality elements in a graphical user interface. The systems and methods receive a video stream having one or more frames containing image data and audio data. The systems and methods identify a set of coordinates within a portion of the one or more frames and identify one or more audio characteristics within the audio data of the video stream. In response to the one or more audio characteristics, the systems and methods generate one or more graphical interface elements and detect a change in the audio data within the video stream. The systems and methods modify the one or more graphical interface elements in a second portion of the video stream in response to the change in the audio data.
