WEARABLE DEVICE, METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM FOR DISPLAYING VISUAL OBJECT INDICATING WEATHER CONDITION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18344241 titled 'WEARABLE DEVICE, METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM FOR DISPLAYING VISUAL OBJECT INDICATING WEATHER CONDITION
Simplified Explanation
The wearable device described in the patent application includes a camera and a processor. The processor is capable of displaying a widget or a visual object in a region of an image based on the direction in which the region faces, compared to a reference direction. Additionally, the processor can display a second visual object representing a virtual outdoor environment with a weather condition in the region of the image, based on the direction of the region.
- The wearable device includes a camera and a processor.
- The processor can display a widget or a visual object in a region of an image.
- The display is based on the direction in which the region faces, compared to a reference direction.
- The processor can also display a second visual object representing a virtual outdoor environment with a weather condition.
- The display of the second visual object is based on the direction of the region in the image.
Potential Applications:
- Augmented reality experiences: The wearable device can enhance the user's surroundings by overlaying virtual objects or information based on the direction they are facing.
- Weather updates: Users can receive real-time weather information by simply looking at the region in the image displayed by the wearable device.
- Navigation assistance: The device can provide visual cues or directions based on the user's orientation and the direction they are facing.
Problems Solved:
- Limited display space: The wearable device allows for the display of additional information or virtual objects in a region of an image, maximizing the use of limited screen real estate.
- Contextual information: By displaying relevant information or virtual objects based on the direction the user is facing, the device provides contextual information that can enhance the user's experience.
Benefits:
- Enhanced user experience: The wearable device provides an immersive and interactive experience by overlaying virtual objects or information onto the user's surroundings.
- Convenient access to information: Users can easily access information or receive updates by simply looking at the region in the image displayed by the device.
- Improved navigation: The device can assist users in navigating their surroundings by providing visual cues or directions based on their orientation and the direction they are facing.
Original Abstract Submitted
A wearable device is provided. The wearable device includes a camera, and a processor. The processor may be configured to display, based on a direction in which a region in an image faces being different from a reference direction, a widget or a first visual object including at least a part of information, in at least a part of the region in the image. The processor may be configured to display, based on the direction in which the region in the image faces being corresponding to the reference direction, a second visual object representing a virtual outdoor environment with a weather condition, in the region in the image.
