Abstract
A device for displaying AR markings comprising a top and a base, with the top rotatably attached to the base, and the base configured to be held by a hand or placed on a fixed surface. The AR markings are positioned on the top such that when the top rotates with respect to the base, so do the AR markings. When the AR markings are scanned by an appropriate scanning and display device, such as a smart phone, a 3d image associated with the AR markings will be displayed on the display device as an augmented reality projection. When the top rotates with respect to the base, so too does the augmented reality projection.
Claims20
A device for facilitating the rotation of augmented reality projections comprising a top and a base;
- a. the top configured to display one or more augmented reality markers;
- i. the one or more augmented reality markers configured to be scanned by a mobile device and associated with augmented reality data;
- ii. the augmented reality data being visual data for three dimensional graphical projections, with the three dimensional graphical projections configured to be displayed on the mobile device upon the one or more augmented reality markers being scanned by the mobile device;
- b. the top additionally comprising an underside, the underside being rotatably engaged with the base.
An apparatus for enabling an augmented reality experience comprising a top and a base;
- a. with the base being configured to be held in a hand;
- b. with the top having an underside, the underside being exposed to the base and configured to be gripped by a human finger of the hand;
- c. with the top being rotatably engaged with the base and featuring an augmented reality marker, the augmented reality marker configured to be detected by a mobile device with a display screen and enable the mobile device to display on the display screen an augmented reality graphic superimposed on a visual of the top, with the augmented reality graphic configured to rotate with respect to the human hand when the top is rotated by the human hand
- d. with the top configured to be attached to a lanyard.
