Artificial reality environment with glints displayed by an extra reality device

This invention describes a system for augmented reality devices that shows virtual "glints" related to real-world objects. These glints, which can be search results or other information, appear when your device is a certain distance away from the object. Specifically, the system identifies real-world objects, processes their visual features to find related content, and then displays an actionable virtual object slightly to the left or right of the real object.

Why it matters: Filed before the widespread availability of advanced consumer XR devices and robust spatial computing platforms. The intervening years have brought significant improvements in real-time object recognition and spatial anchoring capabilities, making this concept more feasible and performant on current hardware.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedXR software, object recognition, spatial computing
