Virtual vision system

This invention describes a mobile device that uses its location and direction to identify nearby real-world places. When such a place is within the device's camera view, it overlays virtual elements, specifically icons depicting items associated with that place, onto the live video feed shown on the screen. This creates an augmented reality experience tied to specific physical locations.

Why it matters: The core technologies for augmented reality and mobile device sensing were already mature in 2024. The short two-year gap since filing has not introduced a specific breakthrough that fundamentally simplifies the heavy software system required for robust, scalable context-based AR.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedHeavy software system for augmented reality.
