Systems and methods for matching content elements to surfaces in a spatially organized 3D environment. The method includes receiving content, identifying one or more elements in the content, determining one or more surfaces, matching the one or more elements to the one or more surfaces, and displaying the one or more elements as virtual content onto the one or more surfaces.

Matching content to a spatial 3D environment

To enable shared user experiences using augmented reality systems, shared reference points must be provided to have consistent placement (position and orientation) of virtual objects. Furthermore, the position and orientation (pose) of the users must be determinable with respect to the same shared reference points. However, without highly sensitive and expensive global positioning system (GPS) devices, pose information can be difficult to determine to a reasonable level of accuracy. Therefore, what is provided is an alternative approach to determining pose information for augmented reality systems, which can be used to perform location based content acquisition and sharing. Further, what is provided is an alternative approach to determining pose information for augmented reality systems that uses information from already existing GPS devices.
