Abstract

A view can be presented with an augmented reality (AR) view of the space. The viewer can also initiate alterations to the environment based on the information and recommendations presented in the AR view. Current conditions, past trends, and forecasted future trends can be included in the creation of the AR displays. For example, the AR system can capture, archive, and predict audio to accompany an augmented reality or virtual reality experience. The audio presented with the experience can be from a real-time capture, an audio file captured in the past, and/or a simulated audio file representing an estimated past or future environment.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A method, comprising:

receiving audio data representing an audio signal from a microphone, by a server comprising a processor, wherein the audio data is representative of audio associated with an environment at a first time;
in response to the receiving the audio data, labeling, by the server, the audio data with the first time, resulting in labeled audio data;
at a second time later than the first time, receiving, by the server, request data representative of a request for the audio data received at the first time;
and
in response to the receiving the request data, sending, by the server, via a network, the labeled audio data for presentation during an augmented reality simulation of aspects of the environment associated with the first time, wherein the audio data comprises simulated audio representative of predicted audio to be associated with the environment.
