Systems and techniques for enhancing the physical games with augmented reality is described. A system identifies a characteristic of a physical object that is located on a physical surface. The system obtains, based on the characteristic, information indicative of a rule set for the game and a state of the game based on the characteristic. A game engine is initialized based on the rule set and game state. The game engine generates a subsequent state for the game. The system renders, based on the subsequent state, an augmented reality display that incorporates the physical surface and physical object.

Physical games enhanced by augmented reality

An augmented-reality system classifies a subject observed in video data obtained from a first area. A goal of a user of an augmented reality device is determined based on video data obtained from a second area. A correlation between the goal of the user and the classification of the subject is determined. An augmented reality display is generated to include a visual indicia of the subject, the visual indicia generated to represent the correlation between the goal and the classification.

Techniques for enhancing awareness of personnel

A first augmented reality device shares, with a second augmented reality device, a visualization of an object viewed by the respective devices in an augmented reality scene. The first augmented reality device receives property information, according to which the second augmented reality device is displaying the visualization. The first augmented reality device displays the visualization according to the property information, adjusted to account for differences in perspective between the first and second augmented reality devices.

Shared visualizations in augmented reality

A kinematic analysis system captures and records participant motion via a plurality of video cameras. A participant feature and participant pose are identified in a frame of video data. The feature and pose are correlated across a plurality of frames. A three-dimensional path of the participant is determined based on correlating the feature and pose across the plurality of frames. A potential impact is identified based on analysis of the participant's path.

Impact detection

An augmented reality system obtains sensor data depicting a first object in a scene. The identity of the first object is determined. The system estimates a size of the first object based on the determined identity. Based on the estimated size, the system estimates a scale of other objects depicted in the obtained sensor data. An augmented reality display is generated based at least in part on the size of a second object determined using the estimated scale.

Scale determination service

An augmented reality system associates a plurality of services with an augmented reality application that is executing on an augmented reality device. The system receives sensor data obtained by the augmented reality device, and causes the plurality of services to process the data. The system generates an event based on the processing of the received data by the services, and sends the event to the augmented reality device. The augmented reality device generates an augmented reality display based at least in part on the event.

Framework for augmented reality applications

An augmented reality device engages in a mutual exchange of negotiated services with another device. The negotiation comprises a first exchange of respective zero-knowledge proofs, and second exchange of credentials followed by verification of the credentials by a trusted third party, and further exchanges of information comprising services provided by the augmented reality device to the other device, and vice versa. The services are used, in embodiments, to customize an augmented reality experience.

Augmented reality service negotiation

An augmented reality device enables selection and interaction with multiple objects viewed in an augmented reality scene. A cursor is positioned proximate to a first object in response to a first gesture. A selected state of the first object is determined in response to a second gesture. A visual indication of the selected state of the first object is displayed by the augmented reality device. A second position for the cursor, proximate to a second object, is determined. A visual indication of the first object's selected state remains displayed after the cursor is moved to be proximate to the second object.

Augmented reality cursors

An augmented reality device engages in a mutual exchange of negotiated services with another device with a signal determined to have exhibited an area transition effect. The augmented reality device identifies, from a plurality of signals in the ambient environment, a subset of signals that have exhibited the area transition effect. From among the subset, the device identifies a signal that is indicative of support for the negotiation protocol. The negotiation is conducted with a second device associated with the corresponding signal.

According to various embodiments, a mobile device continuously and/or automatically scans a user environment for tags containing non-human-readable data. The mobile device may continuously and/or automatically scan the environment for tags without being specifically directed at a particular tag. The mobile device may be adapted to scan for audio tags, radio frequency tags, and/or image tags. The mobile device may be configured to scan for and identify tags within the user environment that satisfy a user preference. The mobile device may perform an action in response to identifying a tag that satisfies a user preference. The mobile device may be configured to scan for a wide variety of tags, including tags in the form of quick response codes, steganographic content, audio watermarks, audio outside of a human audible range, radio frequency identification tags, long wavelength identification tags, near field communication tags, and/or a Memory Spot device.

Systems and methods for scanning a user environment and evaluating data of interest

A system for detecting and responding to an intruding camera. The system includes an electronic media display device having a screen configured to display content, a sensor, and a processing circuit. The processing circuit is configured to obtain information from the sensor, analyze the information to determine a presence of a camera, and edit any displayed content in response to the presence of the camera.

Unauthorized viewer detection system and method

Systems and methods for dynamic customization of audio-visual content are described. In some implementations, a process may include receiving at least one audio-visual core portion, receiving at least one selection signal indicative of a viewer preference, modifying the audio-visual core portion with at least one revised content portion in accordance with the at least one selection signal to create a dynamically customized audio-visual content, outputting the dynamically-customized audio-visual content; and receiving a consideration for the dynamically-customized audio-visual content.

Dynamic customization and monetization of audio-visual content

A method of converting user-selected printed text to a synthesized image sequence is provided. The method includes capturing a first image of printed text and generating a model information associated with the text.

Autogenerating video from text

Systems and methods for viewing dynamically customized audio-visual content are described. In some implementations, a process may include providing at least one selection signal indicative of a viewer preference, receiving a dynamically customized audio-visual content including an audio-visual core portion having at least one revised content portion customized in accordance with the at least one selection signal, displaying the dynamically-customized audio-visual content; and providing a consideration for the dynamically-customized audio-visual content.
