SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MODELING REAL-WORLD OBJECTS IN VIRTUAL SCENES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240046329 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MODELING REAL-WORLD OBJECTS IN VIRTUAL SCENES
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a computer-implemented method for generating an augmented reality (AR) version of a real-world environment. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:
- Obtaining a 3D representation of a first real-world environment.
- Identifying a real-world object of interest in a second real-world environment.
- Determining the position of the real-world object of interest in the 3D representation of the first real-world environment.
- Generating an AR version of the first real-world environment for presentation in the second real-world environment, based on the positioning of the real-world object of interest in the first position in the AR version.
Potential applications of this technology:
- AR gaming: The method can be used to create interactive and immersive gaming experiences by overlaying virtual objects onto the real-world environment.
- Navigation and wayfinding: Users can be guided through unfamiliar environments by overlaying directional cues or points of interest onto their view of the real world.
- Product visualization: The AR version of a real-world environment can be used to showcase products or designs in a more interactive and realistic way.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Enhancing user experience: By combining virtual elements with the real world, the method provides a more engaging and immersive experience for users.
- Spatial understanding: The 3D representation of the real-world environment helps in accurately positioning virtual objects and providing context to the user.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved visualization: The AR version allows users to see virtual objects in the real world, providing a better understanding of their size, scale, and appearance.
- Real-time interaction: Users can interact with virtual objects in real-time, enabling them to manipulate or explore the virtual elements within the real-world environment.
- Enhanced information presentation: The AR version can overlay additional information or data onto the real-world environment, providing users with relevant and contextual information.
Original Abstract Submitted
a computer-implemented is disclosed. the method includes: obtaining a three-dimensional (3d) representation of a first real-world environment; identifying a real-world object of interest in a second real-world environment, the first real-world environment different from the second real-world environment; determining a first position in the 3d representation of the first real-world environment corresponding to the real-world object of interest; and generating an augmented reality (ar) version of the first real-world environment for presentation in the second real-world environment using the 3d representation of the first real-world environment and based on positioning the real-world object of interest in the first position in the ar version of the first real-world environment.
