Abstract
A system is provided which utilizes multiple combinations of object location technology to locate objects and direct users to them, and which provides reliable owner recognition and ownership verification with the use of displayed augmented reality with a predefined image of the object and/or the user. Further, the system utilizes augmented reality fingerprint markers. When the augmented reality fingerprint marker is positioned on an object and scanned with a smart device, information relating to the object is superimposed on the object displayed on the smart device.
Claims21
An augmented reality system for identifying ownership of an object and displaying information related thereto, the system comprising:
- an augmented reality fingerprint marker coupled to the object;
- a user device having augmented reality software, a camera, and a display;
- the augmented reality software on the user device, programmed to:
- map the environment containing the object;
- scan and read the augmented reality fingerprint marker on the object;
- and
- generate and display superimposed digital information, on the object, received from the augmented reality fingerprint marker.
An augmented reality system for identifying ownership of an object and displaying information related thereto, the system comprising:
- a user device having augmented reality software, a camera, and a display;
- the augmented reality software on the user device, programmed to:
- map the environment containing the object;
- scan and read one or more unique characteristics of the object;
- and
- generate and display superimposed digital identification information on the object;
- wherein the digital identification information superimposed over the object comprises a name and photo of a current owner of the object.
An augmented reality system for interacting with an object and displaying information related thereto, the system comprising:
- an augmented reality fingerprint marker coupled to the object;
- a user device having augmented reality software, a camera, and a display;
- the augmented reality software on the user device, programmed to:
- map the environment containing the object;
- scan and read the augmented reality fingerprint marker on the object;
- and
- generate and display superimposed digital information, on the object, received from the augmented reality fingerprint marker;
- wherein a user interacts with the superimposed digital information by interposing a hand between the user device and the object.
