## Abstract

Methods, devices, and systems related to a computing device for capturing an augmented reality (AR) image displaying an AR are described. An example method can include projecting a structured array of light, from a mobile device, onto an object. The method further includes measuring multi-directional sections of the object with the projected light. The method further includes reconstructing a three-dimensional (3D) figure of the object based on the measured multi-directional sections. The method further includes displaying an augmented reality (AR) image associated with the 3D figure on a user interface of the mobile device.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method, comprising:
accessing, from a mobile device, a captured image of an object;
measuring the object within the captured image on a user interface of the mobile device using projected light from the mobile device;
constructing a three-dimensional (3D) figure of the object based on the measurements; and
displaying an augmented reality (AR) image associated with the 3D figure as a hologram.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising uploading the AR image from the memory of the mobile device to a product website.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising displaying products on the 3D figure on the user interface of the mobile device.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The method of claim 3, further comprising projecting the product on the 3D figure as the AR image.

### Claim 5 (depends on 3)

The method of claim 3, further comprising:
receiving, at the mobile device, 3D models of products from a product website; and
placing the products on the 3D figure of the object.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising displaying the AR image as a computing device-generated image superimposed on a user's real-world view.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising rotating and moving the projected AR image responsive to user interaction with a user interface of the mobile device.

### Claim 8

A device, comprising:
a user interface of a mobile device;
a camera of the mobile device;
a memory of the mobile device; and
a processing resource configured to execute executable instructions stored in the memory to:
access, from a mobile device, a captured image of a user;
measure dimensions of the user based on data collected from the captured image on the user interface of the mobile device using an Infrared (IR) illuminator and visible light from the mobile device;
construct a three-dimensional (3D) figure of the user using the measured dimensions; and
project, from the mobile device, an augmented reality (AR) image associated with the 3D figure on the user as a hologram.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The device of claim 8, further comprising instructions executable to measure one of a height of the user, a clothing size of the user, a body width of the user, a width and length of the user's foot, or a combination of these.

### Claim 10 (depends on 8)

The device of claim 8, wherein the AR image is viewable using a headset, a heads-up display, a light field display and a laser, or a combination of these.

### Claim 11 (depends on 8)

The device of claim 8, further comprising instructions executable to measure dimensions of the user by projecting a structured array of light from the camera of the mobile device onto the user.

### Claim 12 (depends on 8)

The device of claim 8, wherein the 3D figure is uploaded to a website, a different mobile device, or both.

### Claim 13 (depends on 8)

The device of claim 8, wherein the AR image is projected on the user responsive to user interaction with the user interface of the mobile device.

### Claim 14 (depends on 8)

The device of claim 8, wherein a preferred 3D figure or AR image of the user is written to the memory of the mobile device.

### Claim 15

An apparatus, comprising:
a user interface of a mobile device;
a camera of the mobile device;
a memory of the mobile device; and
a processing resource configured to execute executable instructions stored in the memory to:
project a structured array of light from the camera of the mobile device onto a captured image of a user on the user interface of the mobile device;
measure multi-directional sections of the user based on data collected using the projected light from the mobile device;
construct a three-dimensional (3D) figure of the user based on the measured multi-directional sections;
display an augmented reality (AR) image of the user associated with the 3D figure as a computing device-generated image superimposed on a user's real-world view; and
rotate and move the projected AR image responsive to user interaction with the user interface of the mobile device.

### Claim 16 (depends on 15)

The apparatus of claim 15, wherein the AR image is viewable on the user interface prior to displaying the AR image.

### Claim 17 (depends on 15)

The apparatus of claim 15, further comprising instructions executable to upload the 3D figure to a website, a different mobile device, or both.

### Claim 18 (depends on 15)

The apparatus of claim 15, further comprising instructions executable to:
capture images of the user using the camera of the mobile device;
construct additional 3D figures using the captured images; and
select a 3D figure to display as the AR image.

### Claim 19 (depends on 15)

The apparatus of claim 15, further comprising instructions executable to:
write at least one of the 3D figures or the AR images to the memory; and
discard at least one of the 3D figures or the AR images, or a combination thereof.

### Claim 20 (depends on 19)

The apparatus of claim 19, further comprising instructions executable to upload at least one of the 3D figures or the AR images to a product website prior to writing the at least one of the 3D figures or the AR images to the memory.
