    Abstract: Augmented reality (AR) systems, devices, media, and methods are described for generating AR experiences including interactions with virtual or physical prop objects. The AR experiences are generated by capturing images of a scene with a camera system, identifying an object receiving surface and corresponding surface coordinates within the scene, identifying an AR primary object and a prop object (physical or virtual), establishing a logical connection between the AR primary object and the prop object, generating AR overlays including actions associated with the AR primary object responsive to commands received via a user input system that position the AR primary object adjacent the object receiving surface responsive to the primary object coordinates and the surface coordinates within the scene and that position the AR primary object and the prop object with respect to one another in accordance with the logical connection, and presenting the generated AR overlays with a display system.

    Abstract: Input indicative of a selection of volumetric content for presentation is received. The volumetric content comprises a volumetric representation of one or more elements of a real-world three-dimensional space. In response to the input, device state data associated with the volumetric content is accessed. The device state data describes a state of one or more network-connected devices associated with the real-world three-dimensional space. The volumetric content is presented. The presentation of the volumetric content includes presentation of the volumetric representation of the one or more elements overlaid on the real-world three-dimensional space by a display device and configuring the one or more network-connected devices using the device state data.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and systems for providing a presentation of an experience (e.g., a journey) to a user using augmented reality (AR). During a capture phase, persons in the journey may take videos or pictures using their smartphones, GoPros, and/or smart glasses. A drone may also take videos or pictures during the journey. During an experience phase, an AR topographical rendering of the real-world environment of the journey may be rendered on a tabletop, highlighting/animating a path persons took in the journey. The persons may be rendered as miniature avatars/dolls overlaid on the representation of the real-world environment. When the user clicks on a point in the presentation of the journey, a perspective (e.g., the videos or pictures) at that point is presented.

    Abstract: Augmented reality (AR) systems, devices, media, and methods are described for creating a handcrafted AR experience. The handcrafted AR experiences are created by capturing images of a scene, identifying an object receiving surface and corresponding surface coordinates, identifying a customizable AR primary object associated with at least one set of primary object coordinates, generating AR overlays including the customizable AR primary object for positioning adjacent the object receiving surface, presenting the AR overlays, receiving customization commands, generating handcrafted AR overlays including customizations associated with the customizable AR primary object responsive to the customization commands, presenting the handcrafted AR overlays, recording the handcrafted AR overlays, creating a handcrafted AR file including the recorded overlays, and transmitting the handcrafted AR file.

    Abstract: An augmented reality (AR) device is interfaced to an Internet of Things (IoT) device by receiving IoT device information in a standardized schema from the IoT device. The IoT device information includes device inputs and available output information for the IoT device. A predetermined AR user interface widget to render for the IoT device is determined from the received IoT device information. The predetermined AR user interface widget converts user inputs to the AR device into the device inputs for the IoT device. Upon selection of the IoT device by the AR device, the predetermined AR user interface widget for the selected IoT device is provided to the AR device as an overlay on a display of the AR device. Device input received in response to user interaction with the AR user interface widget is provided to the IoT device in an input type expected by the IoT device.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and systems for providing a touch-based augmented reality (AR) experience. During a capture phase, a first user may grip an object. An intensity of a force applied on the object in the grip and/or a duration of the grip may be recorded. A volumetric representation of the first user holding the object may also be captured. During an experience phase, a second user may touch the object, the object may provide haptic feedback (e.g., a vibration) to the second user at an intensity and a duration corresponding to an intensity of the force applied on the object and a duration of the grip of the object. If a volumetric representation of the first user holding the object is captured, touching the object may also cause a presentation of the first user's volumetric body that holds the object.
