Systems and methods for utilizing a living entity as a marker for augmented reality content

This system uses living beings, like people or animals, as anchors for augmented reality experiences. It works by detecting specific points on the living entity and then overlaying virtual content, such as avatars or effects, onto them in a user's view. The claims narrow this to systems where living entities wear transponders that signal their actions to trigger specific virtual animations.

Why it matters: Filed before advanced markerless AI vision systems became widely capable of real-time action recognition. The transponder requirement now seems like an unnecessary limitation for many applications.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedCustom transponders, AR rendering software, action recognition
