Device with enhanced augmented reality functionality

摘要

A device with enhanced augmented reality functionality and methods therefor, are provided. An identifier of an object is rendered, at a display of a device, at a first position associated with the object. An object tracked device is used to track the object. When the object moves, a processor of the device smoothly transitions the identifier from the first position to a second position at the display using animation, the second position associated with a new position of the object.

主权项

1. A device comprising:
a processor, an object tracking device and a display; the processor configured to:
render, at the display, an identifier of an object at a first position associated with the object, the object tracked using the object tracking device; and,when the object moves, smoothly transition the identifier from the first position to a second position at the display using animation, the second position associated with a new position of the object, the identifier following the object in the display using the animation and one or more of spring physics and inertial physics to smoothly transition the identifier to the second position during the animation, the identifier comprising a pointer to the object, the pointer moved to point towards the object when the object and the display move relative to each other, the pointer continuing to point towards the object as the identifier transitions to the second position, wherein when a property of the identifier exceeds a threshold the identifier smoothly transitions from the first position past the second position to a third position before the identifier returns to the second position.
