Abstract
A computerized augmented reality platform for a person to send physical invitations to a plurality of recipients and then have these recipients view private augmented reality videos superimposed on these physical invitations, wherein the recipient is optionally pre-authorized by the sender to view the private video on the basis of the recipient's smart device ID, followed optionally by the recipients sharing digital media with one another over a shared communication channel.
Claims27
A method of operating a shared augmented reality communication channel on an augmented reality platform, comprising:
- (a) a first user creating an augmented reality communication channel on the augmented reality platform;
- (b) the first user creating a video and linking the video to the augmented reality communication channel on the augmented reality platform;
- (c) the first user designing a physical invitation with visual indicia thereon and linking the visual indicia on the physical invitation to the augmented reality communication channel;
- (d) the first user inviting one or more other users to join the augmented reality communication channel by sending the physical invitation to each of the other users;
- (e) the other users each scanning the visual indicia on the physical invitation with a smart device such that:
- (i) a display on the smart device displays the video in an augmented reality presentation superimposed on the physical invitation, and
- (ii) access to the augmented reality communication channel is granted to the other users;
- and then
- (f) the other users and the first user each sharing digital media with one another through the augmented reality communication channel.
An augmented reality communication platform, comprising:
- (a) a configuration system for users to define augmented reality communication channels;
- (b) a physical invitation design system for users to design physical invitations having visual indicia thereon and associate the visual indicia on the physical invitations with the defined augmented reality communication channels;
- (c) a video uploading system for users to upload videos and associate the uploaded videos with the defined augmented reality communication channels;
- and
- (d) a communication system for users to communicate with one another over each of the defined augmented reality communication channels.
A method of operating an augmented reality computer platform to send a private augmented reality video to a recipient, comprising:
- (a) a first user creating a private video;
- (b) the first user designing a physical invitation with visual indicia thereon;
- (c) the augmented reality computer platform associating the visual indicia on the physical invitation with the private video;
- (d) the first user sending the physical invitation to a second user;
- (e) the second user scanning the visual indicia on the physical invitation with a smart device;
- (f) the smart device sending a smart device ID to an authorization system;
- and
- (g) the authorization system permitting the second user to view the private video in an augmented reality presentation superimposed on the physical invitation.
An augmented reality computer platform, comprising:
- (a) a physical invitation design system for a user to design a physical invitation having visual indicia thereon and associate the visual indicia on the physical invitations with a pre-defined recipient;
- (b) a video uploading system for the user to upload private videos and associate the uploaded private videos with the pre-defined recipient;
- and
- (c) an authorization system for:
- (i) receiving a smart device ID from a second user after the second user's smart device has scanned the visual indicia on the physical invitation, and
- (ii) permitting the second user to view the private video in an augmented reality presentation superimposed on the physical invitation.
