Abstract
A digital element located within a region near a device is identified. The digital element is located at a dynamically updated location. It is determined that the digital element is to be rendered. A representation of the digital element is generated in a rendered view of at least a portion of the region. Content of the digital element is provided upon receiving an indication that the digital element has been selected.
Claims20
A method for rendering a digital element, comprising:
- identifying the digital element located within a region near a device, wherein the digital element is located at a dynamically updated location with longitude and latitude components that change over time but a vertical location of the digital element is specified relative to an augmented reality observing platform;
- determining that the digital element is to be rendered;
- obtaining a captured image of at least a portion of the region using a camera of the device:
- using a processor to generate at the vertical location specified relative to the augmented reality observing platform, a representation of the digital element that has been found by a user but not yet captured by the user in a rendered augmented reality view provided via the augmented reality observing platform using at least a portion of the captured image obtained using the camera of the device;
- and
- providing content of the digital element to the user in response to receiving an indication associated with a capture of the digital element by the user using the augmented reality view.
A system for rendering a digital element, comprising:
- one or more processors configured to:
- identify the digital element located within a region near a device, wherein the digital element is located at a dynamically updated location with longitude and latitude components that change over time but a vertical location of the digital element is specified relative to an augmented reality observing platform;
- determine that the digital element is to be rendered;
- obtain a captured image of at least a portion of the region using a camera of the device;
- generate at the vertical location specified relative to the augmented reality observing platform, a representation of the digital element that has been found by a user but not yet captured by the user in a rendered augmented reality view provided via the augmented reality observing platform using at least a portion of the captured image obtained using the camera of the device;
- and
- provide content of the digital element to the user in response to receiving an indication associated with a capture of the digital element by the user using the augmented reality view;
- and
- a memory coupled with at least one of the one or more processors, wherein the memory is configured to provide at least one of the one or more processors with instructions.
A computer program product for rendering a digital element, the computer program product being embodied in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium and comprising computer instructions for:
- identifying the digital element located within a region near a device, wherein the digital element is located at a dynamically updated location with longitude and latitude components that change over time but a vertical location of the digital element is specified relative to an augmented reality observing platform;
- determining that the digital element is to be rendered;
- obtaining a captured image of at least a portion of the region using a camera of the device;
- generating at the vertical location specified relative to the augmented reality observing platform, a representation of the digital element that has been found by a user but not yet captured by the user in a rendered augmented reality view provided via the augmented reality observing platform using at least a portion of the captured image obtained using the camera of the device;
- and
- providing content of the digital element to the user in response to receiving an indication associated with a capture of the digital element by the user using the augmented reality view.
