Abstract
Embodiments disclosed herein provide for a system and method for recalibrating an augmented reality experience in mobile devices using a plurality of physical markers. The system and methods provide for realigning the digital representation to the physical world using known physical locations associated with the physical markers that map directly to the digital representation.
Claims20
A device for recalibrating an augmented reality (AR) experience, the device comprising:
- a processing device;
- a memory containing a physical marker;
- a gyroscope;
- and
- a camera,
- wherein, the processing device:
- determines a physical location of the camera,
- determines a digital location of the camera in the AR experience,
- captures, using the camera, a plurality of images comprising a real-time live feed of the physical marker,
- determine a drift between the physical location and the digital location, wherein the determination of the drift comprises:
- determining a digital location of the physical marker,
- determining a digital distance and digital angle between the determined digital location of the camera and the digital location of the physical marker, and
- calculating a difference between a physical distance and the digital distance,
- tracks, using the gyroscope, an orientation of the camera, and
- updates, based the orientation, at least one selected from the group of the physical distance of the camera and physical angle of the camera.
A method for recalibrating an augmented reality (AR) experience, comprising:
- determining, with a processing device, a physical location of a camera;
- determining, with the processing device, a digital location of the camera in the AR experience;
- capturing, using the camera, a plurality of images comprising a real-time live feed of a physical marker, and
- determining, with the processing device, a drift between the physical location and the digital location by:
- determining, with the processing device, a digital location of the physical marker;
- determining, with the processing device, a digital distance and digital angle between the determined digital location of the camera and the digital location of the physical marker;
- and
- calculating, with the processing device, a difference between a physical distance and the digital distance.
An augmented reality (AR) experience recalibration application comprising instructions for execution on a device comprising a processor, a camera, a gyroscope, and a memory storing the recalibration application and a physical marker, wherein, upon execution by the processor, the recalibration application:
- determines a physical location of a camera;
- determines a digital location of the camera in the AR experience;
- captures, using the camera, a plurality of images comprising a real-time live feed of the physical marker;
- determines a drift between the physical location and the digital location by:
- determining a digital location of the physical marker,
- determining a digital distance and digital angle between the determined digital location of the camera and the digital location of the physical marker, and
- calculating a difference between a physical distance and the digital distance;
- tracks, using the gyroscope, an orientation of the camera;
- and
- updates, based the orientation, at least one selected from the group of the physical distance of the camera and physical angle of the camera.
