GENERATING AUGMENTED REALITY EXPERIENCES UTILIZING PHYSICAL OBJECTS TO REPRESENT ANALOGOUS VIRTUAL OBJECTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240036814 titled 'GENERATING AUGMENTED REALITY EXPERIENCES UTILIZING PHYSICAL OBJECTS TO REPRESENT ANALOGOUS VIRTUAL OBJECTS
Simplified Explanation
The disclosed patent application describes methods, computer-readable media, and systems for detecting and integrating physical objects into an augmented reality experience. The systems can determine if a physical object corresponds to a virtual object in the augmented reality experience and modify the virtual graphics, sound, or other features to represent the physical object.
- The patent application focuses on integrating physical objects into augmented reality experiences.
- The disclosed systems can detect if a physical object corresponds to a virtual object in the augmented reality experience.
- Based on this correspondence, the systems can modify the virtual graphics, sound, or other features to represent the physical object.
- For example, the systems can modify acoustic features of a sound to simulate the sound originating from or being affected by the physical object.
Potential Applications
- Enhancing augmented reality gaming experiences by integrating physical objects into the virtual environment.
- Improving training simulations by incorporating physical objects into the virtual scenarios.
- Enhancing educational augmented reality applications by allowing students to interact with physical objects in the virtual learning environment.
Problems Solved
- Difficulty in seamlessly integrating physical objects into augmented reality experiences.
- Lack of realistic representation of physical objects in the virtual environment.
- Inability to simulate the impact of physical objects on virtual elements in augmented reality.
Benefits
- Enhanced immersion and realism in augmented reality experiences.
- Improved user engagement and interaction with virtual objects.
- Increased versatility and applicability of augmented reality technology in various industries.
Original Abstract Submitted
this disclosure describes embodiments of methods, non-transitory computer-readable media, and systems for detecting that a physical space includes a physical object corresponding to an analogous virtual object from an augmented reality experience and rendering (or otherwise modifying) the augment reality experience to integrate the physical object as part of the experience. in particular, the disclosed systems can determine that a physical object within a physical environment corresponds to an analogous virtual object of an augmented reality experience. based on this correspondence, the disclosed systems can modify one or more of the virtual graphics, sound, or other features corresponding to the augmented reality experience to represent the virtual object using the physical object. for example, the disclosed systems can modify acoustic features of a sound for the augmented reality experience to simulate the sound originating from (or being affected by) the physical object.
