Augmented reality riding course generation

A computing apparatus for generating a virtual course in a real world environment, along which a user of a personal mobility device can ride, the computing apparatus comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, configure the apparatus to perform operations comprising:
• receiving user input to begin generating a course;
• capturing sequential location data from location components associated with the user or the personal mobility device while the user is riding the personal mobility device;
• determining at least one edge of the virtual course either by comparing the captured sequential location data to known map data or by performing image processing on images captured by a head-worn device worn by the user while riding the personal mobility device;
• displaying a menu comprising a plurality of available interactive virtual objects;
• receiving user input to place one or more interactive virtual objects on the course while the user is riding the personal mobility device, by dragging and dropping one or more available interactive virtual objects from the menu onto the course;
• receiving user input to stop generating the course;
• generating the course using the captured sequential location data, the user input to place one or more interactive objects on the course, and the determined at least one edge to define a course track and a course boundary including the one or more interactive virtual objects;
• and
• saving or forwarding the generated course based on further user input.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, the computer-readable storage medium including instructions that when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform operations for generating a virtual course in a real world environment, along which a user of a personal mobility device can ride, the operations comprising:

• receiving user input to begin generating a course;
• capturing sequential location data from location components associated with the user or the personal mobility device while the user is riding the personal mobility device;
• determining at least one edge of the virtual course either by comparing the captured sequential location data to known map data or by performing image processing on images captured by a head-worn device worn by the user while riding the personal mobility device;
• displaying a menu comprising a plurality of available interactive virtual objects;
• receiving user input to place one or more interactive virtual objects on the course while the user is riding the personal mobility device, by dragging and dropping one or more available interactive virtual objects from the menu onto the course;
• receiving user input to stop generating the course;
• generating the course using the captured sequential location data, the user input to place one or more interactive objects on the course, and the determined at least one edge to define a course track and a course boundary including the one or more interactive virtual objects;
• and
• saving or forwarding the generated course based on further user input.
