LOCATION-BASED SHARED AUGMENTED REALITY EXPERIENCE SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240281192 titled 'LOCATION-BASED SHARED AUGMENTED REALITY EXPERIENCE SYSTEM
The abstract describes a location-based shared augmented reality (AR) experience system that allows users in the same geographic area to easily join a shared AR experience by creating instances for different predefined geographic areas. When a user requests to launch a shared AR experience via a messaging client, the system obtains the location information of the user's device, determines a predefined AR experience area that includes the user's location, and communicates the address of the associated instance of the shared AR experience to the user's device.
- Location-based shared AR experience system
- Allows users in the same geographic area to join a shared AR experience
- Creates instances for different predefined geographic areas
- Obtains location information of user's device
- Determines predefined AR experience area based on user's location
- Communicates address of associated instance of shared AR experience to user's device
Potential Applications: - Collaborative gaming experiences - Virtual tours and exploration - Interactive advertising campaigns
Problems Solved: - Facilitates easy joining of shared AR experiences - Enhances user engagement and interaction in real-world locations
Benefits: - Encourages social interaction through shared AR experiences - Provides a unique and immersive way to experience augmented reality - Increases user participation and engagement in location-based activities
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhancing User Engagement Through Location-Based Shared AR Experiences" This technology can be utilized in: - Tourism and travel industries - Event planning and marketing - Education and training sectors
Prior Art: Further research can be conducted in the field of location-based AR experiences and collaborative augmented reality systems to identify any related prior art.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in location-based AR technologies and shared AR experiences to enhance user engagement and interaction.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the system determine the predefined AR experience area based on the user's location? 2. What are the potential privacy concerns associated with sharing location information for shared AR experiences?
Original Abstract Submitted
a location-based shared augmented reality (ar) experience system is configured to permit users that find themselves in the same geographic area to easily join in a shared ar experience by creating respective instances of the shared ar experience for different previously defined geographic areas. when a user indicates a request to launch a shared ar experience accessible via a messaging client, the location-based shared ar experience system obtains or receives from the user device executing the messaging client location information of the user device, determines a previously-defined ar experience area that encompasses the location of the user device, and communicates to the user device an address of an associated instance of the shared ar experience.
