Geographic augmented reality design for low accuracy scenarios

A computing device for presenting augmented reality features, the computing device comprising:

• a camera;
• one or more processors;
• and
• a computer-readable memory coupled to the camera and the one or more processors and storing instructions thereon that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing device to:
• receive a request for presenting augmented reality features in a camera view of the camera;
• obtain sensor data indicative of a location of the user;
• determine the location of the user based on the sensor data with a confidence level that exceeds a confidence threshold which indicates a low accuracy state;
• present within a predetermined amount of time from receiving the request one or more augmented reality features for a point of interest in the camera view in accordance with the determined location of the user while in the low accuracy state, wherein the one or more augmented reality features have a lower degree of precision than one or more additional or updated augmented reality features presented for the same point of interest while in a high accuracy state;
• and
• present, while in the low accuracy state, localization instructions for improving the location accuracy to transition from the low accuracy state to the high accuracy state.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

• receive a request for presenting augmented reality features in a camera view of a computing device of a user;
• obtain sensor data indicative of a location of the user;
• determine the location of the user based on the sensor data with a confidence level that exceeds a confidence threshold which indicates a low accuracy state;
• present within a predetermined amount of time from receiving the request one or more augmented reality features for a point of interest in the camera view in accordance with the determined location of the user while in the low accuracy state, wherein the one or more augmented reality features have a lower degree of precision than one or more additional or alternative augmented reality features presented for the same point of interest while in a high accuracy state;
• and
• present, while in the low accuracy state, localization instructions for improving the location accuracy to transition from the low accuracy state to the high accuracy state.
