Patent: Methods and Apparatus to Define Augmented Content Regions for Augmented Reality Systems

Publication Number: 20190005695

Publication Date: 2019-01-03

Applicants: Intel

Abstract

Methods and apparatus to generate augmented content regions for augmented reality (AR) systems are disclosed. An example method includes receiving from a plurality of AR devices data representing a plurality of sight lines captured using the plurality of AR devices, identifying a plurality of commonalities of the plurality of sight lines based on the data representing the plurality of sight lines, and defining an augmented content region based on the plurality of commonalities.

Background

Geolocation technologies such as those implemented using the Global Positioning System (GPS) can be used by smartphones and other GPS-equipped devices to obtain content on locations of interest based on a user’s geographic location.
