Systems and methods for augmented reality with precise tracking

A computer implemented method, the method comprising:

• accessing, using a computer system comprising one or more computing devices, a representation of a first physical environment;
• receiving a mesh definition of a three dimensional mesh, the three dimensional mesh comprising a plurality of mesh cells, wherein a given mesh cell is associated with an address;
• associating the mesh definition of the three dimensional mesh with the first physical environment, wherein a given mesh cell corresponds to a specific location in the first physical environment;
• enabling a user interface to be rendered via a terminal, the user interface enabling a user to associate an item of content to a location in the first physical environment corresponding to at least one mesh cell of the three dimensional mesh;
• receiving, via the user interface, an association of an item of content with a data cube associated with a first mesh cell of the three dimensional mesh corresponding to a first location in the first physical environment, wherein the first mesh cell of the three dimensional mesh is associated with coordinates comprising three dimensions and the item of content comprises visual, audio, textual, and/or computer executable code;
• enabling content and an action to be associated with a given mesh cell to define a data cube;
• enabling the data cube, defined using the item of content and the action to be dragged from a first mesh location in the three dimensional mesh to a second mesh location in the three dimensional mesh;
• receiving using the computer system, in real time, tracking data corresponding to movement of a first entity in the first physical environment;
• based at least in part on the tracking data, determining using the computer system that the first entity is viewing or in proximity with the first location in the first physical environment associated with the first mesh cell of the three dimensional mesh;
• and
• at least partly in response to determining that the first entity is viewing or in proximity with the first location in the first physical environment associated with the first mesh cell of the three dimensional mesh, enabling the content associated with the first location to be rendered by a device or to be executed.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing computer- executable instructions that, when executed, are configured to cause a computer system comprising one or more processing devices to perform operations, comprising:

• accessing a mesh definition of a three dimensional mesh, the three dimensional mesh comprising a plurality of mesh cells;
• associating the mesh definition of the three dimensional mesh with a first physical environment, wherein a given mesh cell corresponds to a respective location in the first physical environment;
• receiving, via an interface enabling an association of an item of content to a location in a first physical environment, an association of an item of content with a first location in the first physical environment that corresponds to at least a first mesh cell of the three dimensional mesh to thereby define a data cube,
• wherein the first location is associated with coordinates comprising three dimensions and the item of content comprises visual, audio, textual, and/or computer executable code;
• receiving, in real time, tracking data corresponding to movement and/or presence of a first entity in the first physical environment;
• based at least in part on the tracking data, determining that the first entity is viewing or in proximity with the first location corresponding to at least one mesh cell of the three dimensional mesh in the first physical environment;
• and
• at least partly in response to determining that the first entity is viewing or in proximity with the first location corresponding to at least one mesh cell of the three dimensional mesh in the first physical environment, enabling the content associated with the first location to be rendered by a device or the content to be executed;
• enabling the data cube, defined using the item of content, to be dragged from the first mesh location in the three dimensional mesh to a second mesh location in the three dimensional mesh.
