AR POSITION AND ORIENTATION ALONG A PLANE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240177430 titled 'AR POSITION AND ORIENTATION ALONG A PLANE
The patent application involves a system for presenting augmented reality (AR) items in a real-world environment. The system uses depth data to create a 3D model of the environment and adds AR items based on this model.
- Receiving a video depicting real-world objects in a real-world environment.
- Obtaining depth data related to the real-world environment.
- Generating a 3D model of the real-world environment using the video and depth data.
- Adding AR items to the video based on the 3D model.
- Modifying the orientation of AR items to align with vertical planes in the real-world environment.
Potential Applications: - Augmented reality gaming - Virtual interior design - Industrial training simulations
Problems Solved: - Enhancing user experience with AR technology - Improving accuracy of AR item placement in real-world environments
Benefits: - Immersive AR experiences - Accurate placement of AR items in real-world settings
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhancing Augmented Reality Experiences in Real-World Environments" This technology can be used in industries such as gaming, interior design, and training simulations to create more engaging and realistic AR experiences for users.
Prior Art: There may be prior art related to AR systems that use depth data for object placement in real-world environments.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in AR technology, depth sensing, and object recognition for improved AR experiences.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this system differentiate itself from existing AR technologies? 2. What are the potential challenges in accurately placing AR items in real-world environments?
Original Abstract Submitted
aspects of the present disclosure involve a system for presenting ar items. the system performs operations including receiving a video that includes a depiction of one or more real-world objects in a real-world environment and obtaining depth data related to the real-world environment. the operations include generating a three-dimensional (3d) model of the real-world environment based on the video and the depth data and adding an augmented reality (ar) item to the video based on the 3d model of the real-world environment. the operations include determining that the ar item has been placed on a vertical plane of the real-world environment and modifying an orientation of the ar item to correspond to an orientation of the vertical plane.
