SHARED AUGMENTED REALITY EXPERIENCE IN VIDEO CHAT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240205036 titled 'SHARED AUGMENTED REALITY EXPERIENCE IN VIDEO CHAT
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes methods and systems for enhancing a shared augmented reality experience during a video chat by modifying the appearance of users in real-time.
- Users in a video chat can request to activate augmented reality (AR) experiences, which will then modify their appearance with AR elements.
- The technology allows for the integration of AR elements onto the body parts of users depicted in the video chat.
- The AR elements associated with the requested AR experience are seamlessly added to the users' appearance in real-time.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Real-time modification of users' appearance during a video chat to include AR elements.
- Seamless integration of AR elements onto the body parts of users depicted in the video chat.
- Activation of AR experiences based on user requests during the video chat.
Potential Applications: This technology can be applied in video conferencing, social media platforms, online gaming, virtual events, and remote collaboration tools.
Problems Solved: This technology addresses the need for enhancing shared AR experiences during video chats, providing users with a more interactive and engaging communication platform.
Benefits:
- Enhanced user experience during video chats.
- Increased interactivity and engagement in virtual communication.
- Seamless integration of AR elements onto users' appearance in real-time.
Commercial Applications: The technology can be utilized in video conferencing software, social media platforms, online gaming applications, virtual event platforms, and remote collaboration tools to enhance user engagement and interaction.
Questions about Shared Augmented Reality Experience in Video Chat: 1. How does the technology ensure real-time modification of users' appearance during a video chat? 2. What are the potential implications of integrating AR elements onto users' body parts in a video chat setting?
Original Abstract Submitted
methods and systems are disclosed for performing operations for providing a shared augmented reality experience in a video chat. a video chat can be established between a plurality of client devices. during the video chat, videos of users associated with the client devices can be displayed. during the video chat, a request from a first client device to activate a first ar experience can be received, and in response, and body parts of users depicted in the videos are modified to include one or more ar elements associated with the first ar experience.
