LOCATION-BASED SHARED AUGMENTED REALITY EXPERIENCE SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18652870 titled 'LOCATION-BASED SHARED AUGMENTED REALITY EXPERIENCE SYSTEM
The abstract describes a location-based shared augmented reality (AR) experience system that allows users in the same geographic area to easily join a shared AR experience by creating instances for different predefined geographic areas.
- Users can launch a shared AR experience through a messaging client, providing their location information to the system.
- The system determines a predefined AR experience area that includes the user's location and communicates the address of the shared AR experience instance to the user's device.
Potential Applications: - Tourism: Users can explore a city together through a shared AR experience. - Gaming: Multiplayer AR games can be created where players interact in the same virtual space. - Education: Collaborative learning experiences can be enhanced with shared AR content.
Problems Solved: - Facilitates easy collaboration in AR experiences for users in the same location. - Simplifies the process of joining shared AR experiences through messaging clients.
Benefits: - Enhanced social interactions through shared AR experiences. - Increased engagement and immersion in collaborative AR activities. - Improved user experience in location-based AR applications.
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhancing Social Interactions with Location-Based Shared AR Experiences" This technology can be utilized in social networking apps, gaming platforms, and educational tools to offer unique shared AR experiences to users, potentially increasing user engagement and retention.
Prior Art: Further research can be conducted on existing location-based AR systems and shared AR experiences to identify any similar technologies or approaches in the field.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in location-based AR technologies, shared AR experiences, and user interaction in augmented reality environments to enhance the understanding and implementation of this innovative system.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the system ensure the privacy and security of user location information in shared AR experiences? 2. What are the potential challenges in scaling this technology for large user groups in densely populated areas?
Original Abstract Submitted
A location-based shared augmented reality (AR) experience system is configured to permit users that find themselves in the same geographic area to easily join in a shared AR experience by creating respective instances of the shared AR experience for different previously defined geographic areas. When a user indicates a request to launch a shared AR experience accessible via a messaging client, the location-based shared AR experience system obtains or receives from the user device executing the messaging client location information of the user device, determines a previously-defined AR experience area that encompasses the location of the user device, and communicates to the user device an address of an associated instance of the shared AR experience.
