The invention describes a central computer system that gathers 3D scans from several other devices located in a real-world environment. It combines these individual scans to create a comprehensive 3D model of the entire area. This central system then generates additional data to help a separate augmented reality headset or device accurately place and display virtual objects within that real-world view.
Why it matters: Filed before widespread mobile LiDAR and advanced AR headsets. The improved ability of individual devices to capture high-quality 3D data and the increased processing power of AR devices make this distributed mapping approach more viable now.
AI gives you a few directions you could take this. Pick one, and we check whether your version is different enough to patent, then write the filing.
