SHARED AUGMENTED REALITY EYEWEAR DEVICE WITH HAND TRACKING ALIGNMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240288946 titled 'SHARED AUGMENTED REALITY EYEWEAR DEVICE WITH HAND TRACKING ALIGNMENT

Simplified Explanation:

This patent application describes a method for aligning coordinate systems of user devices in an augmented reality system using somatic points of a user's hand as alignment markers.

Key Features and Innovation:

  • Images captured from multiple user devices are used to align the reference coordinate systems of the user devices to a common reference coordinate system.
  • User devices capture images of a user's hand and use object recognition to identify somatic points as alignment markers.
  • The somatic points of a user device are translated to a common reference coordinate system determined by another user device.

Potential Applications: This technology can be used in augmented reality applications, virtual reality systems, gaming, remote collaboration, and medical training simulations.

Problems Solved: This technology addresses the challenge of aligning coordinate systems of multiple user devices in an augmented reality system accurately and efficiently.

Benefits:

  • Improved alignment accuracy in augmented reality systems.
  • Enhanced user experience in collaborative virtual environments.
  • Simplified calibration process for user devices.

Commercial Applications: Augmented reality software development, virtual reality gaming, medical simulation training programs, remote collaboration tools.

Questions about the Technology: 1. How does this technology improve the user experience in augmented reality applications? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this method in real-world scenarios?

Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in object recognition technology, hand tracking algorithms, and augmented reality software development for potential improvements in this method.


Original Abstract Submitted

a method for aligning coordinate systems of user devices in an augmented reality system using somatic points of a user's hand as alignment markers. images captured from multiple user devices are used to align the reference coordinate systems of the user devices to a common reference coordinate system. in some examples, user devices capture images of a hand of a user and use object recognition to identify somatic points as alignment markers. the somatic points of a user device are translated to a common reference coordinate system determined by another user device.
