Abstract
A first augmented reality device shares, with a second augmented reality device, a visualization of an object viewed by the respective devices in an augmented reality scene. The first augmented reality device receives property information, according to which the second augmented reality device is displaying the visualization. The first augmented reality device displays the visualization according to the property information, adjusted to account for differences in perspective between the first and second augmented reality devices.
Claims20
An augmented reality device, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- a memory having stored thereon computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the augmented reality device to:
- receive a request to display a visualization of an object in a first augmented reality scene, the visualization based at least in part on sensor data from a second augmented reality device;
- receive information indicative of a property associated with display of the visualization of the object by the second augmented reality device;
- and
- display the visualization of the object in the first augmented reality scene, wherein the visualization is adjusted based at least in part on the property and to account for a difference in perspective with the second augmented reality device.
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving a request to display a visualization of an object in a first augmented reality scene of a first augmented reality device, the visualization to be shared with a second augmented reality device;
- receiving information indicative of a property associated with display of the visualization of the object by the second augmented reality device;
- and
- displaying the visualization of the object in the first augmented reality scene, wherein the visualization is adjusted based at least in part on the property and a difference in perspective between the first and second augmented reality device.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon executable instructions that, in response to being executed by one or more processors of an augmented reality device, cause the augmented reality device to at least:
- receive a request to display a visualization of an object in a first augmented reality scene of a first augmented reality device, the visualization to be shared with a second augmented reality device;
- receive information indicative of one or more properties associated with display of the visualization of the object by the second augmented reality device;
- and
- display the visualization of the object in the first augmented reality scene, wherein the visualization is adjusted based at least in part on the one or more properties and on a perspective difference between the first and second augmented reality devices.
