Social applications for augmented reality technologies

This invention describes a server system that helps people share augmented reality experiences. It works by letting one person create a detailed 3D map of a real-world place using their AR device, which the server then presents to another person. The server can also use depth data from the AR device to precisely track where people and virtual objects are in that shared space.

Why it matters: Filed before consumer AR devices commonly featured advanced depth sensors and robust spatial mapping capabilities. Today, many smartphones and dedicated AR/VR headsets possess the necessary hardware and software to easily generate the 3D maps and depth data described in the claims.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active.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, pose search algorithm, 3D mapping
