Self-Describing Three-Dimensional (3D) Object Recognition and Control Descriptors for Augmented Reality Interfaces

摘要

Exemplary methods and systems are disclosed that provide for the detection and recognition of target devices, by a mobile computing device, within a pre-defined local environment. An exemplary method may involve (a) receiving, at a mobile computing device, a local-environment message corresponding to a pre-defined local environment that may comprise (i) physical-layout information of the pre-defined local environment or (ii) an indication of a target device located in the pre-defined local environment, (b) receiving image data that is indicative of a field-of-view associated with the mobile computing device, (c) based at least in part on the physical-layout information in the local-environment message, locating the target device in the field-of-view, and (d) causing the mobile computing device to display a virtual control interface for the target device in a location within the field-of-view that is associated with the location of the target device in the field-of-view.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
receiving, at a mobile computing device, local-environment information corresponding to a local environment, the local-environment information indicating at least one target device that is located in the defined local environment, the local-environment information including three-dimensional (3D) object data describing the at least one target device, the 3D object data being communicated by the at least one target device to identify itself in the local environment; determining a field-of-view image associated with a field of view of the mobile computing device; identifying the at least one target device in the field-of-view image based at least in part on the 3D object data; and displaying the field-of-view image including a virtual control interface for the at least one target device, the virtual control interface being displayed according to the position of the at least one target device in the field-of-view image.
