DEVICE PAIRING USING MACHINE-READABLE OPTICAL LABEL - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18124099 titled 'DEVICE PAIRING USING MACHINE-READABLE OPTICAL LABEL
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for aligning coordinate systems between separate augmented reality devices. One device captures pose data and decodes pose data from a machine-readable code displayed on another device to determine the relative pose between them.
- First device accesses pose data from its Visual Inertial Odometry (VIO) system.
- Camera of the first device captures an image of a machine-readable code displayed on the second device.
- Second device encodes its pose data from its VIO system into the machine-readable code.
- First device decodes the second pose data from the code and calculates the relative pose between the two devices based on both sets of pose data.
Key Features and Innovation
- Alignment of coordinate systems between separate AR devices.
- Use of machine-readable codes to exchange pose data.
- Determination of relative pose between devices based on exchanged data.
Potential Applications
- Collaborative augmented reality experiences.
- Multi-device AR gaming.
- Industrial applications requiring precise alignment of AR devices.
Problems Solved
- Ensures accurate alignment of coordinate systems between AR devices.
- Facilitates seamless collaboration and interaction between multiple AR devices.
Benefits
- Improved accuracy in AR applications.
- Enhanced user experience in collaborative AR environments.
- Simplified setup and calibration of multiple AR devices.
Commercial Applications
- "Method for Aligning Coordinate Systems in Augmented Reality Devices": Potential commercial applications include AR gaming, industrial training simulations, and collaborative design environments.

Original Abstract Submitted
A method for aligning coordinate systems from separate augmented reality (AR) devices is described. In one aspect, a first device accesses first pose data from a first Visual Inertial Odometry (VIO) system of the first device. A camera of the first device captures an image of a machine-readable code that is displayed on a display of a second device. The second device encodes the machine-readable code with second pose data from a second VIO system of the second device. The first device decodes the second pose data from the machine-readable code, and determines a relative pose between the first device and the second device based on the first pose data and the second pose data.
