Systems, Methods, and Graphical User Interfaces for Sharing Augmented Reality Environments: abstract simplified (18126352)

• This abstract for appeared for patent application number 18126352 Titled 'Systems, Methods, and Graphical User Interfaces for Sharing Augmented Reality Environments'

Simplified Explanation

This abstract describes a technology that allows a device to capture an image of another device and use the position information displayed on that device to generate virtual objects in an augmented reality environment. The first device captures the image of the second device, which includes position information indicating its location within the augmented reality environment. Using this position information, the first device then displays virtual objects within the augmented reality environment.

Original Abstract Submitted

A first electronic device with one or more processors, memory, one or more cameras, and a display generation component captures, with the one or more cameras, an image of a second electronic device that includes position information displayed via a display generation component of the second electronic device. The position information indicates a location of the second electronic device within an augmented reality environment that includes a physical environment in which the first electronic device and the second electronic device are located. The first electronic device, after capturing the image of the second electronic device that includes the position information, displays, via the display generation component of the first electronic device, one or more virtual objects within the augmented reality (AR) environment using the position information captured from the second electronic device.
