Abstract
A method includes: receiving, in a device, data defining an augmented reality (AR) environment, the data specifying a location of a first AR object in the AR environment; determining a physical inclination of the device; assigning a perception inclination to a map of the AR environment, the perception inclination based on the determined physical inclination; and triggering rendering of the map and an aspect of the AR environment on a display of the device, wherein the location of the first AR object is marked on the map and the map appears to have the perception inclination with regard to the display.
Claims21
A method comprising:
- receiving, in a device, data defining an augmented reality (AR) environment, the data specifying a location of a first AR object in the AR environment;
- determining a physical inclination of the device;
- assigning a perception inclination to a map of the AR environment, the perception inclination based on the determined physical inclination;
- and
- triggering rendering of the map and an aspect of the AR environment on a display of the device, wherein the location of the first AR object is marked on the map and the map appears to have the perception inclination with regard to the display.
A non-transitory storage medium having stored thereon instructions that when executed are configured to cause a processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- receiving, in a device, data defining an augmented reality (AR) environment, the data specifying a location of a first AR object in the AR environment;
- determining a physical inclination of the device;
- assigning a perception inclination to a map of the AR environment, the perception inclination based on the determined physical inclination;
- and
- triggering rendering of the map and an aspect of the AR environment on a display of the device, wherein the location of the first AR object is marked on the map and the map appears to have the perception inclination with regard to the display.
An apparatus comprising:
- a memory having stored therein data defining an augmented reality (AR) environment, the data specifying a location of a first AR object in the AR environment;
- an orientation system configured for determining a physical inclination of the apparatus, wherein the apparatus assigns a perception inclination to a map of the AR environment, the perception inclination based on the determined physical inclination;
- and
- a display, wherein the apparatus renders the map and an aspect of the AR environment on the display, and wherein the location of the first AR object is marked on the map and the map appears to have the perception inclination with regard to the display.
An apparatus comprising:
- a memory having stored therein data defining an augmented reality (AR) environment, the data specifying a location of a first AR object in the AR environment;
- an orientation system configured for determining a physical inclination of the apparatus;
- a display that presents a map of the AR environment and an aspect of the AR environment;
- and
- means for maintaining a semantic significance of a direction on the map at least when the apparatus has respective first and second physical inclinations determined by the orientation system.
