RAY TRACING BETWEEN AR AND REAL OBJECTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18179920 titled 'RAY TRACING BETWEEN AR AND REAL OBJECTS
The present disclosure involves a system for performing ray tracing between augmented reality (AR) and real-world objects. The system accesses a video depicting a first object, obtains a three-dimensional (3D) model of the first object, applies a ray tracing process to estimate an optical effect on a portion of the first object relative to a second object in the video, and modifies a visual property of the portion of the first object based on the optical effect relative to the second object.

Original Abstract Submitted
Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system for performing ray tracing between augmented reality (AR) and real-world objects. The system accesses, by the mobile device, a video depicting a first object. The system obtains, by the mobile device, a three-dimensional (3D) model of the first object. The system applies, by the mobile device, a ray tracing process to the 3D model of the first object to estimate an optical effect on a portion of the first object relative to a second object that is depicted in the video. The system modifies a visual property of the portion of the first object based on the optical effect relative to the second object.
