Augmented reality methods and apparatus

摘要

Augmented reality methods and apparatus are described according to some aspects of the disclosure. In one aspect, a method of experiencing augmented data includes using a source system, emitting a dynamic symbol which changes over time, using a consumption system, receiving the emission of the source system, using the consumption system, analyzing the emission which was received by the consumption system to determine whether the dynamic symbol is present in the emission, and using the consumption system, generating a representation of augmented data to be consumed by a user of the consumption system as a result of the analyzing determining that the dynamically changing symbol is present in the emission of the source system.

1. A method of experiencing augmented data comprising:
using a source system, emitting a dynamic symbol which changes over time according to a pattern and which is configured to initiate generation of a representation of augmented data; using a consumption system, receiving an emission of the source system; communicating information regarding the pattern to the consumption system before the emitting; using the information regarding the pattern, analyzing the emission which was received by the consumption system to determine whether the dynamic symbol comprising the pattern is present in the emission which was received by the consumption system; using the consumption system, initiating generation of a representation of augmented data to be experienced by a user of the consumption system as a result of the analyzing determining that the dynamic symbol comprising the pattern is present in the emission which was received by the consumption system; wherein the emitting comprises emitting dynamically changing light to emit the dynamic symbol and the receiving comprises receiving the dynamically changing light; wherein the analyzing comprises comparing the dynamically changing light received by the consumption system and the information regarding the pattern; wherein the emitting comprises changing at least one characteristic of the dynamically changing light of the dynamic symbol according to the pattern, the comparing comprises comparing the at least one characteristic of the dynamically changing light with respect to the pattern, and the initiating comprises initiating as a result of the comparing determining that the dynamically changing light matches the pattern; and wherein the changing comprises changing the at least one characteristic comprising chrominance of the dynamically changing light according to the pattern and at a frequency specified by the pattern and the comparing comprises comparing the chrominance and the frequency of the dynamically changing light with respect to the pattern.
