Abstract
An augmented reality system includes a first scene and a second scene. Further, the augmented reality system includes a partially reflective surface positioned relative to the first scene, the second scene, and an audience to facilitate viewing of one of the first scene or the second scene through the partially reflective surface and to facilitate reflection of the other of the first scene or the second scene toward the audience as augmented reality imagery. A sensor of the augmented reality system is designed to detect and generate data indicative of a characteristic of the first scene, and a correlative effect system is operable to receive the data and adjust the second scene based thereon.
Claims20
An augmented reality system, comprising:
- a first scene;
- a second scene presented by a projector;
- a partially reflective surface positioned relative to the first scene, the projector, and an audience to facilitate viewing of the first scene through the partially reflective surface and to facilitate reflection of the second scene toward the audience as augmented reality imagery;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- receive data indicative of a characteristic of the first scene;
- and
- adjust the reflection of the second scene based on the characteristic by transitioning a relative positioning of the projector and the partially reflective surface.
A system, comprising:
- a background scene;
- an augmented reality scene displayed via a projector;
- a partially reflective surface positioned relative to the background scene, the projector, and an audience to facilitate viewing of the background scene through the partially reflective surface and to facilitate reflection of the augmented reality scene toward the audience as augmented reality imagery;
- and
- one or more processors configured to:
- receive data comprising a light characteristic of the background scene;
- and
- adjust the augmented reality scene by transitioning a relative positioning between the projector and the partially reflective surface to provide a virtual object of the augmented reality imagery that is lit according to the light characteristic.
A method, comprising:
- receiving, via one or more processors, a first set of data comprising an augmented reality lighting of an augmented reality scene that is positioned relative to a background scene and a partially reflective surface;
- receiving, via the one or more processors, a second set of data comprising a background lighting of the background scene and a positioning of a physical object in the background scene;
- and
- adjusting, via the one or more processors, the augmented reality scene by transitioning a relative positioning between a projector of the augmented reality scene and the partially reflective surface to provide a virtual object that is lit according to the background lighting and in a position corresponding to the positioning of the physical object.
