COMPUTING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR RENDERING AVATARS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240312097 titled 'COMPUTING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR RENDERING AVATARS
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a computing system that uses augmented reality to superimpose a second-user avatar onto a live image feed captured by a camera. The avatar is anchored to a virtual surface corresponding to a physical surface in the image, creating a realistic 3D environment.
- The processor executes an augmented reality avatar program.
- Receives second-user avatar-data object and pose information.
- Receives live image feed from a camera.
- Identifies a virtual surface corresponding to a physical surface in the image.
- Calculates position and pose of the second-user avatar relative to the virtual surface.
- Renders the second-user avatar superimposed upon the image.
- Anchors the avatar to the virtual surface in the real world 3D environment.
Potential Applications: 1. Virtual meetings and conferences. 2. Gaming and entertainment. 3. Virtual try-on for fashion and cosmetics. 4. Remote collaboration and training. 5. Interactive advertising and marketing.
Problems Solved: 1. Enhances user engagement and interaction in virtual environments. 2. Provides a more immersive and realistic augmented reality experience. 3. Enables seamless integration of virtual elements into real-world settings. 4. Facilitates remote communication and collaboration in a visually appealing manner.
Benefits: 1. Improved user experience in augmented reality applications. 2. Enhanced visual representation of virtual elements in real-world environments. 3. Increased interactivity and engagement in virtual settings. 4. Facilitates creative and innovative uses of augmented reality technology.
Commercial Applications: Augmented Reality Avatar Technology for Enhanced User Engagement in Virtual Environments
Questions about Augmented Reality Avatar Technology: 1. How does the system calculate the position and pose of the second-user avatar relative to the virtual surface? 2. What are the potential privacy concerns associated with superimposing avatars in live image feeds?
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in augmented reality technology and applications for virtual environments.
Original Abstract Submitted
a computing system is provided comprising a processor is configured to execute an augmented reality avatar program to receive a second-user avatar-data object and second-user pose information, via a computer network, receive an image from a live image feed captured by a camera of the computing device, identify a virtual surface corresponding to a physical surface that appears in the image; calculate a position and a pose of a second-user avatar relative to the virtual surface based on the second-user pose information, render the second-user avatar-data object to thereby display the second-user avatar of the second user superimposed upon the image. the second-user avatar is anchored to the virtual surface according to the calculated position and pose of the second-user avatar. the virtual surface is world-locked to the physical surface in the image in a real world 3-d environment.
