  • Patent number: 11704878
    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.
