Embodiments involve selective updating and suspension of updates to augmented reality (AR) content.

Augmented reality content generation with update suspension

Augmented reality (AR) content may be created and stored as an imprint on a virtual model, where the virtual model is modeled after or mimics a real world environment. Intuitive mobile device interfaces may be used to link content with objects or surfaces near a mobile device. Subsequent users may access the same content depending on one or more access parameters.

Augmented reality (AR) imprinting methods and systems

A camera's field of view is determined using image data and location information. Accurate augmented reality representations are provided based on the determined field of view in an absence of a priori knowledge of the camera's field of view.

Methods, devices, and systems for determining field of view and producing augmented reality

Realistic augmented reality (AR) augmentations are produced in reliance on a 3D virtual model modeled after a real world environment. Light and shadow parameters for the augmentations are produced not only from real world parameters such as, for example, a real present position of the actual sun, but also from virtual world parameters which characterize the virtual model or virtual objects within the virtual model.

Systems and method for realistic augmented reality (AR) lighting effects

AR engines modify a picture or video of the real world to include more than simply real world content. The modified image/frame content is passed along to one or multiple downstream AR engines which treat the content as original input. Modifications to images/frames may include the addition of virtual markers. Virtual markers may be visual content of virtual origin that is added to an image or frame. A virtual marker may trigger a predetermined reaction from a downstream AR engine when that downstream AR engine processes the modified content. For example, a virtual marker added to an image by an upstream AR engine may trigger a downstream AR engine to output a particular augmentation. The virtual marker may have a known meaning to both the upstream AR engine and the downstream AR engine. Accordingly, there may be 'collaboration' among AR engines and a reduction in the processing requirements of downstream and overall image processing.

Methods, devices, and systems for producing augmented reality

Methods are disclosed for providing alternate reality (e.g., virtual reality) representations to users. Exemplary methods employ data collections (e.g., stacks) which affect the virtual representations of baseline virtual models. Data collections contain layers which contain deltas. The deltas specify modifications to the baseline virtual reality world or model. The deltas may be geocoded, while the layers that contain them may not be geocoded. Separately selectable layers are used to temporarily modify or substitute baseline data or virtual elements (e.g., virtual objects) that are ultimately presented to a user on an output device. Conflict resolution algorithms harmonize conflicts between layers of a collection.

Methods and systems for providing customized virtual and augmented realities

Images and/or videos have associated therewith information like location and orientation information for the camera used to captured the images/videos. The associated location and orientation (or pose) information facilitates subsequent processing for producing accurate and convincing augmented reality (AR) outputs. In addition, some embodiments associate user-specific information with images or videos for producing customized AR content on a user-to-user basis.

R-snap for production of augmented realities

Augmented reality systems and methods are disclosed which provide for representing imperceptible aspects of telecommunications networks as visual, auditory, tactile, or audiovisual stimuli. In some embodiments, the representation is a type of augmented reality from the perspective of a user on the ground, such as a technician deployed in the field.

Systems and methods for augmented reality representations of networks

Methods, devices, and systems are disclosed for providing augmented realities including trails or paths for navigating a real world space. Methods, devices, and systems are also disclosed for providing augmented realities for other forms of navigation guidance or tracking assistance.

Systems, devices, and methods for tracing paths in augmented reality

Methods and systems are provided for creating, modifying, and updating virtual models based on user instructions and a user's relationship with surroundings.

Methods of virtual model modification

A camera's field of view is determined using image data and motion sensor data. Accurate augmented reality representations are provided based on the determined field of view in an absence of a priori knowledge of the camera's field of view.

Methods and devices are disclosed which provide modification, editing, or extension of augmented reality and virtual reality representations of real world spaces using elevation information obtained from image processing of real world images.

Methods and systems for changing virtual models with elevation information from real world image processing

Augmented reality augmentations are selected or modified based on accuracy or confidence information concerning locations and orientations.

Augmentations based on positioning accuracy or confidence

A cloud-based platform is provided offering large-scale and dynamic data analysis, processing, and exchange for telecommunications network design and deployment. It is configured to accommodate local, regional, and nationwide network planning and management needs. Information relevant to the network and individual design projects is organized with respect to a shared timeline that is shared with all project teams. All on-going and committed planned projects related to network performance are tracked on the shared timeline, with predicted network performance continually and automatically updated at regular intervals.
