Abstract
A system for processing a video stream is disclosed. The system includes a processing device configured for analyzing the surrounding environment represented in the video stream for at least one marker that is indicative of an environmental characteristic. At least one marker is identified within the surrounding environment. Once identified, information associated with the environmental characteristic is presented to the user. In one embodiment, the information is presented via AR such that one or more virtual objects are superimposed over the video stream. The virtual objects may be interactive.
Claims54
A method for assessing environmental characteristics, the method comprising:
- capturing, via a mobile device, a video stream representing the surrounding environment;
- analyzing the surrounding environment represented in the video stream for at least one marker indicative of an environmental characteristic;
- identifying the at least one marker indicative of an environmental characteristic within the surrounding environment;
- and
- presenting information associated with the environmental characteristic to a user of the mobile device.
A mobile device configured to assess environmental characteristics comprising:
- a processing device configured for:
- capturing a video stream representing the surrounding environment;
- analyzing the surrounding environment represented in the video stream for at least one marker indicative of an environmental characteristic;
- identifying the at least one marker indicative of an environmental characteristic within the surrounding environment;
- and
- presenting information associated with the environmental characteristic to a user of the mobile device.
A computer program product for assessing environmental characteristics comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium comprising one or more computer-readable code portions configured for:
- capturing, via a mobile device, a video stream representing the surrounding environment;
- analyzing the surrounding environment represented in the video stream for at least one marker indicative of an environmental characteristic;
- identifying the at least one marker indicative of an environmental characteristic within the surrounding environment;
- and
- presenting information associated with the environmental characteristic to a user of the mobile device.
