Apparatus, systems and methods for a content commentary community

This invention describes a system for people to browse their virtual DVD collection. When a user requests it from their electronic device, the system sends data to display a virtual bookshelf filled with virtual DVDs. The claims narrow this to specifically using a head-mounted display (HMD) that shows a three-dimensional virtual bookshelf and DVDs, overlaid onto the real world, using location data.

Why it matters: In 2016, consumer augmented reality HMDs were nascent and expensive. Today, the widespread availability of powerful HMDs and mature AR development platforms makes building and deploying such a system significantly more practical.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedSoftware system, 3D graphics, augmented reality, HMD
