System for automatic placement of content in a multiuser ar system

Abstract

The present application provides for adjusting placement positions of an AR object that maximizes viewability for AR devices viewing the AR object. The AR application, after initiating an AR session, may receive a request to display the AR object in an AR environment from a number of other AR devices that wish to view the AR object. The position and orientation for each of the AR devices is determined by the AR application, which then determines a respective field-of-view region for each of the AR devices. Based on these respective field-of-view regions, the AR application identifies an intersection region where all of the respective field-of-view regions intersect, and then selects a first placement position for the AR object within this intersection region. The AR object is then placed at a second placement position based on tags and analysis of the physical area.
