Abstract
A computer implemented method can include displaying, via a display of an augmented reality (AR) device, views of image data obtained by a camera of the AR device as the AR device is moved by a user; storing each view of a plurality of the displayed views in association with a respective visibility matrix comprising at least one visibility matrix element indicative of visibility of a target object within the each view; retrieving a respective visibility matrix for a plurality of the stored displayed views; selecting a plurality of the stored displayed views based on the retrieved visibility matrices; determining a displaying order of the selected views based on the retrieved visibility matrices; and displaying the selected views via the display of the AR device simultaneously or successively in the determined order.
Claims17
A computer implemented method comprising:
- displaying, via a display of an augmented reality (AR) device, views of image data obtained by a camera of the AR device as the AR device is moved by a user;
- tracking a position of a target object within the displayed views;
- determining a visibility of at least one of:
- i. the tracked target object and ii. a virtual object to be superimposed on the tracked target object on the display, wherein the position of the virtual object is dependent on the position of the target object;
- for each view of a plurality of the displayed views, storing, in response to generation of a trigger signal, the each view in association with a respective visibility matrix comprising at least one visibility matrix element indicative of visibility of the target object within the each view;
- retrieving a respective visibility matrix for a plurality of the stored displayed views;
- selecting a plurality of the stored displayed views based on the retrieved visibility matrices;
- determining a displaying order of the selected views based on the retrieved visibility matrices;
- and
- displaying the selected views via the display of the AR device simultaneously or successively in the determined order.
