ALIGNMENT OF AUGMENTED REALITY COMPONENTS WITH THE PHYSICAL WORLD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240355079 titled 'ALIGNMENT OF AUGMENTED REALITY COMPONENTS WITH THE PHYSICAL WORLD
The abstract of the patent application describes a system that utilizes surface plane information and edge detection in images to present virtual content with a virtual position based on the orientation of the edge and the surface plane.
- The system includes a processor and memory to perform operations based on stored instructions.
- Surface plane information is obtained, defining a surface plane passing through a surface location and oriented according to a surface normal.
- An edge is detected in an image, which triggers the presentation of virtual content with a virtual position determined by the edge orientation and surface plane information.
Potential Applications: - Augmented reality applications - Virtual reality experiences - Image processing and analysis software
Problems Solved: - Enhancing user experiences with virtual content - Improving accuracy in virtual object placement - Streamlining image analysis processes
Benefits: - Enhanced visualizations in augmented reality - Improved precision in virtual object placement - Efficient image processing and analysis
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhancing Virtual Experiences with Advanced Image Analysis" This technology can be used in industries such as gaming, advertising, and education to create immersive virtual experiences for users. It can also be applied in medical imaging for enhanced diagnostics and treatment planning.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the system determine the virtual position of the content based on the edge and surface plane information? - The system uses algorithms to analyze the orientation of the edge and the defined surface plane to calculate the virtual position of the content. 2. What are the potential limitations of using surface plane information and edge detection in presenting virtual content? - The limitations may include accuracy issues in detecting edges and surface planes in complex images, which could affect the precision of virtual content placement.
Original Abstract Submitted
