Abstract
Apparatuses, methods, and storage media for modifying augmented reality in response to user interaction are described. In one instance, the apparatus for modifying augmented reality may include a processor, a scene capture camera coupled with the processor to capture a physical scene, and an augmentation management module to be operated by the processor. The augmentation management module may obtain and analyze the physical scene, generate one or more virtual articles to augment a rendering of the physical scene based on a result of the analysis, track user interaction with the rendered augmented scene, and modify or complement the virtual articles in response to the tracked user interaction. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
Claims19
An apparatus for providing augmented reality computing, comprising:
- a processor;
- a scene capture camera coupled with the processor to capture a physical scene;
- an interaction capture camera coupled with the processor to capture information about a user;
- and
- an augmentation management module to be operated by the processor to:
- obtain and analyze the physical scene,
- obtain and analyze the information about the user to determine at least one user modality;
- determine one or more virtual articles to augment a rendering of the physical scene, based on a result of the analysis,
- render the physical scene to be viewed by the user, wherein the rendered physical scene comprises a rendered augmented scene that includes the physical scene and the determined one or more virtual articles,
- track user interaction with the rendered augmented scene, and
- modify or complement the one or more virtual articles, in response to the tracked user interaction,
- wherein to obtain and analyze the information about the user to determine the at least one user modality is to occur prior to determination of the one or more virtual articles and prior to render of the physical scene and wherein the apparatus is to remain substantially stationary on a substantially horizontal surface to enable the capture of the physical scene and the user interaction.
A computer-implemented method for providing augmented reality computing, comprising:
- capturing and analyzing visual information about a user to determine at least one user modality;
- augmenting, by a computing device, a rendering of a physical scene with one or more virtual articles;
- rendering, on the computing device, the physical scene by providing a rendered augmented scene that includes the physical scene and the one or more virtual articles;
- tracking, by the computing device, user interaction with the rendered augmented scene, and
- modifying or complementing, by the computing device, the one or more virtual articles in the rendered augmented scene in response to the tracking of the user interaction,
- wherein capturing and analyzing the information about the user are performed prior to augmenting the rendering of the physical scene and rendering of the physical scene and wherein the computing device is to remain substantially stationary on a substantially horizontal surface to enable the capture of the physical scene and the user interaction.
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media having instructions for providing augmented reality computing stored thereon that, in response to execution by a computing device, provide the computing device with an augmentation management environment to:
- obtain and analyze an image including a user to determine at least one user modality associated with the user;
- augment a rendering of a physical scene with one or more virtual articles;
- render the physical scene by providing a rendered augmented scene that includes the physical scene and the one or more virtual articles;
- track user interaction with the rendered augmented scene, and
- modify or complement the one or more articles in the rendered augmented scene in response to the tracking of the user interaction,
- wherein to obtain and analyze the image including the user to determine the at least one user modality associated with the user is to occur prior to augment the rendering of the physical scene and render of the physical scene and wherein the computing device is to remain substantially stationary on a substantially horizontal surface to obtain and analyze the image including the user and track user interaction with the rendered augmented scene.
