Accurate positioning of augmented reality content

A computer-implemented method for presenting related augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) representations, the method comprising:

• measuring, using one or more sensors of an onsite computing device disposed at a real-world location, a first six-degree-of-freedom (DOF) vector between a first vantage point of the onsite computing device and a first trackable feature disposed at the real-world location;
• measuring, using the one or more sensors of the onsite computing device, a second six-DOF vector between the first vantage point of the onsite computing device and a second trackable feature disposed at the real-world location;
• estimating, based on the first six-DOF vector and the second six-DOF vector, a third six-DOF vector between the first trackable feature and the second trackable feature;
• receiving, from a data store, data including an AR content item and a fourth six-DOF vector representing a spatial relationship of the AR content item relative to the first trackable feature;
• measuring, using the one or more sensors of the onsite computing device, a fifth six-DOF vector between a second vantage point of the onsite computing device and the second trackable feature;
• presenting, at a display of the onsite computing device, an AR representation including the AR content item rendered within a live view of the real-world location based on the third, fourth, and fifth six-DOF vectors;
• receiving, at an offsite computing device remote from the real-world location, data including the AR content item and environmental data relating to the real-world location;
• and
• presenting, at a display of the offsite computing device, a VR representation of the real-world location based on the environmental data, the VR representation including the AR content item appearing at a position and orientation defined by the spatial relationship relative to the first trackable feature.

A computer-implemented method for presenting related augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) representations, the method comprising:

• storing, in a data store, a set of trackable points, each trackable point representing a trackable feature of a real-world location;
• for each of the trackable points, storing in the data store a set of estimated spatial values representing a position of the respective trackable point in a global coordinate system;
• receiving, at the data store, measurement data from an onsite computing device within sensor range of the real-world location, the measurement data including a first six-degree-of-freedom (DOF) vector between the onsite computing device and a first one of the trackable points, and a second six-DOF vector between the onsite computing device and a second one of the trackable points;
• updating, based on the measurement data, the estimated spatial values associated with the first and second trackable points;
• transmitting, to the onsite computing device, first AR data including an AR content item and a third six-DOF vector representing a spatial position of the AR content item relative to the first one of the trackable points, the onsite computing device being configured to generate, based on the first AR data, an AR representation including the AR content item appearing in a live view of the real-world location at the spatial position relative to the first one of the trackable points;
• and
• transmitting environmental data and second AR data to an offsite computing device remote from the real-world location, the offsite computing device being configured to present, based on the environmental data and second AR data, a VR representation of the real-world location including a representation of the AR content item appearing at the spatial position relative to the first one of the trackable points.
