An example augmented reality system includes: obtaining information about an instance of a device; recognizing the instance of the device based on the information; selecting a digital twin for the instance of the device, with the digital twin being unique to the instance of the device; and generating augmented reality content based on the digital twin and an actual graphic of the instance of the device.

Augmented reality system

An example method includes: obtaining, from computer memory, information from a three-dimensional (3D) graphical model that represents an object; identifying, based on the information, a first part of the object having an attribute; performing a recognition process on the object based on features of the object, where the recognition process attaches more importance to a second part of the object than to the first part, with the second part either not having the attribute or having less of the attribute than the first part; and providing data for rendering content on a graphical user interface based, at least in part, on recognition of the object performed by the recognition process.

Processing uncertain content in a computer graphics system

An example method includes: obtaining an image of an object captured by a device during relative motion between the object and the device; determining a location of the device relative to the object during image capture based on one or more attributes of the object in the image; storing the image of the object and the location of the device during image capture; mapping a 3D graphical model representing the object to the object in the image based, at least in part, on the location of the device; receiving, at a time subsequent to capture of the image, first data representing an action to be performed for the object in the image; and generating second data for use in rending content on a display device, where the second data is based on the image stored, the location of the device stored, and at least some information from the model.

Generating time-delayed augmented reality content

An example method is performed by a computing system, and includes: obtaining an image of an object captured by a device during relative motion between the object and the device; determining a location of the device relative to the object during image capture based on one or more attributes of the object in the image; mapping a three-dimensional (3D) graphical model representing the object to the object in the image based, at least in part, on the location of the device, where the 3D graphical model includes information about the object; receiving a selection of a part of the object; and outputting, for rendering on a user interface, at least some information from the 3D graphical model based on the part selected.
