Methods, apparatuses and computer program products for providing a constant level of information in augmented reality

摘要

An apparatus for providing a constant level of information in an augmented reality environment may include a processor and memory storing executable computer program code that cause the apparatus to at least perform operations including determining a first number of points of interest associated with a first set of real world objects of a current location(s). The first set of real world objects is currently displayed. The computer program code may further cause the apparatus to determine whether the first number is below a predetermined threshold and may increase a view range of a device to display a second set of real world objects. The view range may be increased in order to increase the first number to a second number of points of interest that corresponds to the threshold, based on determining that the first number is below the threshold. Corresponding methods and computer program products are also provided.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
determining a first number of points of interest associated with a first set of real world objects, of at least one current location, currently being displayed; determining, via a processor, whether the first number is below a predetermined threshold; increasing a view range of a device to facilitate display of a second set of real world objects in order to increase the first number to a second number of points of interest that is greater than or equal to the predetermined threshold in an instance in which the first number is below the threshold, wherein the view range comprises the view at a distance and angle of the device; facilitating provision of a plurality of information layers that relate in part to one or more items of virtual information corresponding to receipt of information indicative of the current location, wherein a first subset of the items of virtual information relate to at least the first set of objects and corresponds to a first information layer of the layers generated by a first content provider which creates the items of virtual information of the first subset; assigning the predetermined threshold to the first information layer, determining that a second subset of the items of virtual information relate to at least the first set of objects and corresponds to a second information layer of the layers generated by a second content provider which creates the items of virtual information of the second subset; assigning a predefined threshold to the second information layer; and facilitating display of a second quantity of points of interest associated with the first set of objects in an instance in which the second quantity is maintained equal to a value of the predefined threshold.
