MAGNIFIED OVERLAYS CORRELATED WITH VIRTUAL MARKERS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240036336 titled 'MAGNIFIED OVERLAYS CORRELATED WITH VIRTUAL MARKERS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a magnification application for augmented reality eyewear devices. This application allows users to activate a magnification overlay on the display of the eyewear device when a registered virtual marker is detected by the device's camera. The magnified overlay includes frames of captured video data presented with a configurable magnification power. A pointer with a vector and visual tether guides the user towards the virtual marker, and when the device is near the marker's perimeter, the magnified overlay appears in a predefined frame on the display.

  • The patent application describes a magnification application for augmented reality eyewear devices.
  • Users can activate a magnification overlay on the display when a registered virtual marker is detected.
  • The magnified overlay includes frames of captured video data presented with a configurable magnification power.
  • A pointer with a vector and visual tether guides the user towards the virtual marker.
  • When the device is near the marker's perimeter, the magnified overlay appears in a predefined frame on the display.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Assistive technology for visually impaired individuals, providing magnification of objects or text in real-time.
  • Industrial or technical applications, allowing workers to magnify small details or components for inspection or repair.
  • Educational applications, enhancing the viewing experience for students by magnifying important visual information.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Difficulty in viewing small or distant objects or text is addressed by providing a magnification overlay.
  • Users can easily locate and focus on virtual markers or objects of interest with the help of the pointer and visual tether.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved accessibility for visually impaired individuals, enabling them to see and interact with their surroundings more effectively.
  • Enhanced productivity and accuracy in industrial or technical tasks that require close inspection or manipulation of small components.
  • Enhanced learning experience for students, allowing them to better understand and engage with visual content.


Original Abstract Submitted

a magnification application for use with augmented reality (ar) eyewear devices. the magnification application enables a user of an eyewear device to activate a magnification overlay on a display whenever a camera on the eyewear device detects that the field of view includes a registered virtual marker. the magnified overlay includes one or more frames of the captured video data, presented according to a predefined and configurable magnification power. a pointer including a vector and a visual tether guides the user toward the virtual marker. when the eyewear device location is near a perimeter associated with the virtual marker, the magnified overlay appears in a predefined and configurable frame on the display.
