A mobile device implemented method provides audio from a virtual audio source in an augmented reality view of a scene. The method includes operations of sending scene identification data to a server storing precomputed acoustic parameters for multiple scenes, receiving precomputed acoustic parameters corresponding to the scene, aligning the view to register the audio to the augmented reality view of the scene, and rendering and playing the audio using the obtained acoustic parameters.

Augmented reality virtual audio source enhancement

Rendering audio for applications implemented in an MR or AR system, in a 3D environment. A method includes determining a location of a user device in the 3D environment. The method further includes accessing a set of spatial mapping data to obtain spatial mapping data for the determined location. The spatial mapping data includes spatial mapping of free-space points in the 3D environment. Data for each free-space point includes data related to audio characteristics at that free-space point. The spatial mapping data is based on data provided by users in the 3D environment. The method further includes applying the spatial mapping data for the determined location to one or more acoustic simulation filters. The method further includes using the one or more acoustic simulation filters with the spatial mapping data applied, rendering audio output for one or more applications implemented in the MR or AR system to a user.

System for localizing channel-based audio from non-spatial-aware applications into 3D mixed or virtual reality space

Techniques of shifting the lens stack from an image capture sensor within a smart device and/or mobile device are disclosed. The shifting of the center of the lens stack from the center of the sensor allows the Field of View (FOV) of such a camera assembly to have an angle from the normal and/or perpendicular direction from the surface of the device. Such an angle allows the FOV to be substantially horizontal and/or parallel to a surface when the device is held (e.g. by a kickstand) at a similar angle from the vertical direction. When the front of the lens stack is substantially at a front surface of the device and the sensor is attached to a back surface of the device, then the Total Track Length (TTL) is substantially the depth of the device.

Shifted lens camera for mobile computing devices

Techniques for device camera angle are described. In one or more implementations, a camera is mounted in a computing device at an angle based on an orientation of the computing device. For example, when the computing device is positioned on a surface and at an angle to the surface (such as when supported by a kickstand), the mounting angle of the camera is such that an optical axis of the camera points forward, and not towards the surface. In at least some implementations, a computing device includes a camera that is physically adjustable to support different orientations of the computing device. In at least some implementations, images that are captured via a camera on a computing device can be manipulated based on an orientation of the computing device.
