Multiple devices may use cameras, sensors, and other inputs to record characteristics of an environment and generate an Augmented Reality (AR) model of the environment. Although devices may implement AR models in different incompatible systems, such as using positioning systems with different scales, unit sizes, etc., one or more devices may coordinate to determine one or more transform to be applied by one or more devices to establish a common framework for referencing AR objects in the models for the environment. With the common framework, and a language to facilitate establishing the common framework, devices may share rich content between the devices. This, for example, allows a tablet device presenting an AR space to “grab” an object out of a display present in the environment, and place the grabbed object into the AR space while maintaining proper relative dimensions and other characteristics of the object after the transfer from one space to the other.
A method for sharing Augmented Reality information between at least a first device having an output associated with a first positioning system and a first display, and a second device associated with a second positioning system, in which a desired content is to be exchanged between a source with a source coordinate system, and a destination with a destination coordinate system, the method comprising:
A non-transitory computer readable medium (CRM) comprising instructions system for sharing Augmented Reality information between at least a first device having an output associated with a first positioning system and a first display, and a second device associated with a second positioning system, in which a desired content is to be exchanged between a source with a source coordinate system, and a destination with a destination coordinate system, the instructions, when executed by an apparatus, cause the second device to:
A system for sharing Augmented Reality information between at least a first device having a first display and associated with a first coordinate system, and a second device having a second display, a measurement tool, and associated with a second coordinate system, comprising:
