SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR VISUALIZING PRODUCTS IN A USER'S SPACE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240029148 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR VISUALIZING PRODUCTS IN A USER'S SPACE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes techniques for generating product images in a user's space using augmented reality (AR). The process involves receiving information indicating a position in the user's space to place a proxy product model, generating a visualization of the proxy product model at the indicated position using AR, receiving information indicating dimensions for the proxy product model, guiding the user to capture images of the user's space from different camera positions and orientations relative to the indicated position, obtaining at least one image of a product of the first type in the user's space based on the dimensions and captured images, and displaying the image(s) of the product.
- Techniques for generating product images in a user's space using augmented reality (AR)
- Receiving information indicating the position to place a proxy product model in the user's space
- Generating a visualization of the proxy product model at the indicated position using AR
- Receiving information indicating dimensions for the proxy product model
- Guiding the user to capture images of the user's space from different camera positions and orientations
- Obtaining at least one image of a product in the user's space based on the dimensions and captured images
- Displaying the image(s) of the product
Potential Applications:
- E-commerce platforms can use this technology to allow users to visualize products in their own space before making a purchase.
- Interior design apps can utilize this technology to help users visualize furniture or decor items in their homes.
- Virtual try-on applications can use this technology to allow users to see how clothing or accessories would look on them.
Problems Solved:
- Overcomes the limitation of traditional product images by providing a more realistic visualization of products in the user's space.
- Helps users make more informed purchasing decisions by allowing them to see how products would fit or look in their own environment.
Benefits:
- Enhances the user experience by providing a more immersive and interactive way to view and evaluate products.
- Reduces the need for physical showrooms or samples, saving costs for businesses and customers.
- Increases customer satisfaction and reduces the likelihood of returns or exchanges by providing a more accurate representation of products.
Original Abstract Submitted
techniques for generating product images in a user's space. the techniques include: receiving, by a mobile device having a camera, information indicating a position in the user's space at which to place a proxy product model serving as a proxy for a product of a first type; generating, using augmented reality (ar), a visualization of the proxy product model, at the indicated position, in the user's space; receiving information indicating dimensions for the proxy product model; guiding, using ar, the user to capture one or more images of the user's space, with the mobile device, at one or more respective camera positions and/or orientations relative to the indicated position, in the user's space; obtaining, based on the information indicating the dimensions for the proxy product model and the one or more images of the user's space, at least one image of at least one product of the first type in the user's space; and displaying the at least one image of the at least one product.
