COLLABORATIVE AUGMENTED REALITY EYEWEAR WITH EGO MOTION ALIGNMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240221220 titled 'COLLABORATIVE AUGMENTED REALITY EYEWEAR WITH EGO MOTION ALIGNMENT
The patent application describes eyewear that enables an interactive augmented reality experience between two users by aligning their respective 6DOF trajectories, also known as ego motion alignment.
- Eyewear devices of User A and User B track each other's devices or objects, such as on the user's face, to provide a collaborative AR experience.
- This alignment allows for sharing common three-dimensional content without the need for aligning devices to common image content like markers, reducing computational burden.
- An inertial measurement unit may also be used to align the eyewear devices.
- Potential Applications:
This technology can be used in collaborative virtual reality experiences, remote assistance applications, and multiplayer gaming.
- Problems Solved:
The technology solves the problem of aligning multiple eyewear devices to share AR content, providing a more seamless and interactive experience for users.
- Benefits:
Users can enjoy a shared AR experience without the need for complex alignment processes, enhancing collaboration and interaction in virtual environments.
- Commercial Applications:
This technology could be utilized in the gaming industry for multiplayer AR games, in the healthcare sector for remote medical consultations, and in the education field for collaborative virtual learning experiences.
- Questions about Eyewear Providing Interactive Augmented Reality Experience:
1. How does the alignment of 6DOF trajectories enhance the collaborative AR experience between users?
- The alignment of trajectories allows for seamless sharing of three-dimensional content between users, creating a more interactive AR experience.
2. What role does the inertial measurement unit play in aligning the eyewear devices?
- The inertial measurement unit helps ensure accurate alignment between the eyewear devices, enhancing the overall collaborative AR experience.
Original Abstract Submitted
eyewear providing an interactive augmented reality experience between two eyewear devices by using alignment between respective 6dof trajectories, also referred to herein as ego motion alignment. an eyewear device of user a and an eyewear device of user b track the eyewear device of the other user, or an object of the other user, such as on the user's face, to provide the collaborative ar experience. this enables sharing common three-dimensional content between multiple eyewear users without using or aligning the eyewear devices to common image content such as a marker, which is a more lightweight solution with reduced computational burden on a processor. an inertial measurement unit may also be used to align the eyewear devices.
