Abstract: Various embodiments provide methods and systems for users and business owners to share content and/or links to visual elements of a place at a physical location, and, in response to a user device pointing at a tagged place, causing the content and/or links to the visual elements of the place to be presented on the user device. In some embodiments, content and links are tied to specific objects at a place based at least in part upon one of Global Positioning System (GPS) locations, Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) orientations, compass data, or one or more visual matching algorithms. Once the content and links are attached to the specific objects of the place, they can be discovered by a user with a portable device pointing at the specific objects in the real world.

Abstract: Objects can be rendered in three dimensions and viewed and manipulated in an augmented reality environment. A number of object images, a number of segmentation masks, and an object mesh structure are used by a client device to render the object in three dimensions. The object images and segmentation masks can be sequenced into frames. The object images and segmentation masks can be partitioned into patches and sequenced, or ordered, within each patch, and a keyframe can be assigned in each patch. Then, the object images and segmentation masks can be encoded into video files and sent to a client device. The client device can quickly retrieve a requested object image and segmentation mask based at least in part on identifying the keyframe in the same patch as the object image and segmentation mask.

Abstract translation: 各种实施例提供了用于用户和企业所有者分享内容和/或链接到物理位置处的场所的视觉元素的方法和系统，并且响应于用户设备指向标记的地点，导致内容和/或链接 到在用户设备上呈现的地方的视觉元素。 在一些实施例中，内容和链接至少部分地基于全球定位系统（GPS）位置之一，惯性测量单元（IMU）取向，罗盘数据或一个或多个视觉匹配算法来连接到某个地点的特定对象。 一旦将内容和链接附加到该地点的特定对象，用户可以通过指向现实世界中特定对象的便携式设备发现它们。
