GEOGRAPHIC AUGMENTED REALITY DESIGN FOR LOW ACCURACY SCENARIOS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18433596 titled 'GEOGRAPHIC AUGMENTED REALITY DESIGN FOR LOW ACCURACY SCENARIOS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for presenting augmented reality features in a camera view of a user's computing device without localizing the user. Here is a simplified explanation of the innovation:

• The client device receives a request to show augmented reality features to the user.
• Before localizing the user, the client device collects sensor data to determine the user's pose.
• The client device then analyzes the sensor data to determine the user's pose with a high confidence level, even in a low accuracy state.
• Finally, the client device displays the augmented reality features in the camera view based on the user's pose.

Potential Applications: This technology could be used in various industries such as gaming, education, training, and remote assistance.

Problems Solved: This technology solves the problem of accurately presenting augmented reality features to users without the need for precise localization.

Benefits: The benefits of this technology include improved user experience, increased accuracy in presenting augmented reality features, and enhanced usability in various applications.

Potential Commercial Applications: One potential commercial application of this technology could be in the development of augmented reality apps for mobile devices.

Possible Prior Art: One possible prior art could be the use of sensor data to determine user poses in virtual reality applications.

Unanswered Questions: 1. How does the technology handle different lighting conditions that may affect sensor data accuracy? 2. What are the limitations of determining user poses based on sensor data in a low accuracy state?

Original Abstract Submitted

To present augmented reality features without localizing a user, a client device receives a request for presenting augmented reality features in a camera view of a computing device of the user. Prior to localizing the user, the client device obtains sensor data indicative of a pose of the user, and determines the pose of the user based on the sensor data with a confidence level that exceeds a confidence threshold which indicates a low accuracy state. Then the client device presents one or more augmented reality features in the camera view in accordance with the determined pose of the user while in the low accuracy state.
