Abstract
Interference-based augmented reality hosting platforms are presented. Hosting platforms can include networking nodes capable of analyzing a digital representation of scene to derive interference among elements of the scene. The hosting platform utilizes the interference to adjust the presence of augmented reality objects within an augmented reality experience. Elements of a scene can constructively interfere, enhancing presence of augmented reality objects; or destructively interfere, suppressing presence of augmented reality objects.
Claims23
A context-based augmented reality (AR) object management system comprising:
- an AR repository comprising a database of AR objects, wherein an AR object has one or more context-related attributes;
- at least one computer readable non-transitory memory storing software instructions;
- and
- at least one processor coupled with the AR repository and the at least one non-transitory computer readable memory, wherein the processor performs the following operations upon execution of the software instructions:
- obtaining a digital representation of a scene associated with an AR capable device;
- determining a shift from a first context related to the AR capable device and to the scene to a second, different context based on detected changes in one or more context-related attributes derived at least in part from the digital representation;
- identifying a set of differential AR objects from the AR repository related to the AR capable device based on the shift from the first context to the second context and based on one or more context-related attributes of at least the second context;
- adjusting a presence of AR objects proximate to the AR capable device, including at least the set of differential AR objects, based on the shift from the first context to the second context;
- and
- causing the AR capable device to render at least some of the AR objects, including at least some of the set of differential AR objects proximate to the AR capable device according to the adjusted presence.
A method for managing context-based augmented reality (AR) objects, the method comprising:
- obtaining a digital representation of a scene associated with an AR capable device;
- determining a shift from a first context related to the AR capable device and to the scene to a second, different context based on detected changes in one or more context-related attributes derived at least in part from the digital representation;
- identifying a set of differential AR objects from an AR repository comprising a database of AR objects, wherein an AR object has one or more context-related attributes, and the set of differential AR objects are related to the AR capable device based on the shift from the first context to the second context and based on one or more context-related attributes of at least the second context;
- adjusting a presence of AR objects proximate to the AR capable device, including at least the set of differential AR objects, based on the shift from the first context to the second context;
- and
- causing the AR capable device to render at least some of the AR objects, including at least some of the set of differential AR objects proximate to the AR capable device according to the adjusted presence.
A non-transitory computer readable medium configured for storing one or more computer readable instructions, which, upon execution by one or more processors, perform the operations of:
- obtaining a digital representation of a scene associated with an AR capable device;
- determining a shift from a first context related to the AR capable device and to the scene to a second, different context based on detected changes in one or more context-related attributes derived at least in part from the digital representation;
- identifying a set of differential AR objects from an AR repository comprising a database of AR objects, wherein an AR object has one or more context-related attributes, and the set of differential AR objects are related to the AR capable device based on the shift from the first context to the second context and based on one or more context-related attributes of at least the second context;
- adjusting a presence of AR objects proximate to the AR capable device, including at least the set of differential AR objects, based on the shift from the first context to the second context;
- and
- causing the AR capable device to render at least some of the AR objects, including at least some of the set of differential AR objects proximate to the AR capable device according to the adjusted presence.
