Abstract
AR-enabled wearable electronic devices such as smart glasses are adapted for use as an (Internet of Things) IoT device where the user can control a pointer and present augmented reality content with respect to a television screen, computer screen, or other IoT enabled device by selecting items by looking at them and making selections using gestures. Built-in six-degrees-of-freedom (6DoF) tracking capabilities are used to track the television display screen to facilitate cursor navigation and display of AR content. The tracking information is used to trigger an AR effect for display of augmented reality content relative to the physical television display screen (e.g., on or in the environment around the television display screen) on demand in response to gestures. The techniques are particularly useful for smart displays that offer AR-enhanced content that can be viewed in the displays of the AR-enabled wearable electronic devices.
