LOCATION-BASED SHARED AUGMENTED REALITY EXPERIENCE SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240281192 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. When a user requests to launch a shared AR experience via a messaging client, the system obtains the location information of the user's device, determines the relevant AR experience area, and provides the user with the address of the associated shared AR experience instance.
- Users in the same geographic area can join a shared AR experience easily.
- The system creates instances of the shared AR experience for different predefined geographic areas.
- Location information of the user's device is used to determine the relevant AR experience area.
- Users can access the shared AR experience by requesting it through a messaging client.
- The system communicates the address of the associated shared AR experience instance to the user's device.
Potential Applications: - Collaborative gaming experiences in real-world locations - Interactive guided tours and educational experiences - Team-building exercises and group activities in augmented reality
Problems Solved: - Facilitates seamless participation in shared AR experiences based on geographic proximity - Enhances social interactions and engagement through collaborative AR activities
Benefits: - Encourages social connections and shared experiences in augmented reality - Provides a novel way to explore and interact with the physical world through AR technology
Commercial Applications: Title: "Location-Based Shared AR Experience System for Collaborative Engagement" This technology could be utilized in the gaming industry for location-based AR games, tourism for interactive guided tours, and team-building companies for immersive group activities.
Questions about Location-Based Shared AR Experience System: 1. How does the system determine the appropriate AR experience area based on the user's location? The system uses the location information of the user's device to identify the predefined AR experience area that encompasses the user's location.
2. What are the potential benefits of participating in shared AR experiences with others in the same geographic area? Participating in shared AR experiences can enhance social interactions, promote collaboration, and create unique shared memories for users.
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.
