RAY TRACING BETWEEN AR AND REAL OBJECTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240303904 titled 'RAY TRACING BETWEEN AR AND REAL OBJECTS
The abstract of the patent application describes a system for performing ray tracing between augmented reality (AR) and real-world objects. The system accesses a video depicting a first object, obtains a three-dimensional (3D) model of the first object, applies a ray tracing process to estimate an optical effect on a portion of the first object relative to a second object depicted in the video, and modifies a visual property of the portion of the first object based on the optical effect relative to the second object.

Original Abstract Submitted
aspects of the present disclosure involve a system for performing ray tracing between augmented reality (ar) and real-world objects. the system accesses, by the mobile device, a video depicting a first object. the system obtains, by the mobile device, a three-dimensional (3d) model of the first object. the system applies, by the mobile device, a ray tracing process to the 3d model of the first object to estimate an optical effect on a portion of the first object relative to a second object that is depicted in the video. the system modifies a visual property of the portion of the first object based on the optical effect relative to the second object.
