ENHANCED READING WITH AR GLASSES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240029370 titled 'ENHANCED READING WITH AR GLASSES
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes systems, methods, and computer-readable media for enhanced augmented reality (AR) reading. The methods involve entering a reading mode, capturing an image of a section of reading materials (e.g., a page of a book), identifying a code within the image, and identifying a code module corresponding to the code. The code module is then executed, providing an augmented reality object or virtual reality object related to an object depicted on the section or page. The methods also include entering a sleep mode for a duration based on the estimated reading time of the section or page, awakening after the sleep duration, and capturing the next image. The sleep duration is adjusted based on captured identifiers of the sections of the reading materials. The user can manually wake the AR reading device using an external user interface.
- The patent application describes a method for enhancing AR reading by capturing images of reading materials and identifying codes within the images.
- The identified codes correspond to code modules that provide augmented reality or virtual reality objects related to the depicted objects.
- The method includes entering a sleep mode based on the estimated reading time of a section or page and awakening after the sleep duration.
- The sleep duration is adjusted based on captured identifiers of the sections of the reading materials.
- The user can manually wake the AR reading device using an external user interface.
Potential Applications:
- Enhanced reading experiences by providing augmented reality or virtual reality objects related to the depicted objects in reading materials.
- Improved engagement and interactivity in educational materials by incorporating augmented reality or virtual reality elements.
- Enhanced storytelling experiences by overlaying virtual objects or characters onto physical books or reading materials.
Problems Solved:
- Lack of interactivity and engagement in traditional reading materials.
- Limited access to additional information or multimedia content related to the depicted objects in reading materials.
- Difficulty in estimating reading time and managing reading sessions efficiently.
Benefits:
- Enhanced learning experiences through interactive and immersive content.
- Access to additional information, multimedia content, or supplementary materials related to the reading materials.
- Improved time management and efficiency in reading sessions.
Original Abstract Submitted
systems, methods, and computer readable media for enhanced augmented reality (ar) reading are provided, where the methods include entering a reading mode, capturing an image of a section of reading materials such as a page of a book, identifying a code within the image, and identifying a code module corresponding to the code. the methods further include executing the code module, the code module providing an augmented reality object or virtual reality object related to an object depicted on the section or page, entering a sleep mode for a sleep duration based on an estimated reading time duration of a section or page, awaking after the sleep duration, and capturing a next image. the sleep duration is adjusted based on times when identifiers of the sections of the reading materials such as numbers are captured. the user may manually wake the ar reading device using an external user interface.
