Abstract
This disclosure relates to systems and methods for augmenting visual information to simulate an appearance of an object and/or a person at an adjustable position and angle. The visual information may be captured by an image sensor. The object and/or the person may have been captured at multiple angles. A user may select at which particular position and angle the appearance will be superimposed and/or otherwise combined with the visual information.
Claims20
A system for augmenting real-world visual information to simulate an appearance of a real-world object and/or a real-world person at an adjustable position and angle within the real-world visual information, the system comprising:
- a display component configured to display images;
- an image sensor configured to capture image output signals in the real world, wherein the image output signals convey image information corresponding to a first field of view of the image sensor;
- electronic storage configured to store information electronically, wherein the stored information includes captured visual information of an object and/or a person that has been captured in the real world at at least eight angles;
- and
- one or more physical processors configured by machine-readable instructions to:
- determine the image information based on the image output signals captured by the image sensor;
- receive user input indicating a position within the first field of view, wherein the position corresponds to a real-world position;
- retrieve, from the electronic storage, the captured visual information of the object and/or the person;
- determine composite visual information based on the image information and the captured visual information such that the object and/or the person appear to be positioned at the real-world position;
- detect a positional adjustment of the image sensor, wherein the image sensor, subsequent to the positional adjustment, is configured to capture secondary image output signals in the real world, wherein the secondary image output signals convey secondary image information corresponding to a second field of view of the image sensor, wherein the second field of view is different than the first field of view;
- responsive to detection of the positional adjustment, re-determine the composite visual information such that the secondary image information, based on the secondary image output signals, corresponds to the second field of view and further such that the object and/or the person continues to appear to be positioned at the real-world position;
- and
- effectuate displaying of the re-determined composite visual information on the display component.
A method for augmenting real-world visual information to simulate an appearance of a real-world object and/or a real-world person at an adjustable position and angle within the real-world visual information, the method comprising:
- capturing, by an image sensor, image output signals in the real world, wherein the image output signals convey image information corresponding to a first field of view of the image sensor;
- storing information electronically in electronic storage, wherein the stored information includes captured visual information of an object and/or a person that has been captured in the real world at at least eight angles;
- determining the image information based on the image output signals captured by the image sensor;
- receiving user input indicating a position within the first field of view, wherein the position corresponds to a real-world position;
- retrieving, from the electronic storage, the captured visual information of the object and/or the person;
- determining composite visual information based on the image information and the captured visual information such that the object and/or the person appear to be positioned at the real-world position;
- detecting a positional adjustment of the image sensor;
- capturing, by the image sensor, subsequent to the positional adjustment, secondary image output signals in the real world, wherein the secondary image output signals conveys secondary image information corresponding to a second field of view of the image sensor, wherein the second field of view is different than the first field of view;
- responsive to detection of the positional adjustment, re-determining the composite visual information such that the secondary image information corresponds to the second field of view and further such that the object and/or the person continues to appear to be positioned at the real-world position;
- and
- effectuating displaying of the re-determined composite visual information on a display component.
