    Abstract: A method includes: receiving, in a first device, a relative description file for physical markers that are positioned at locations, the relative description file defining relative positions for each of the physical markers with regard to at least another one of the physical markers; initially localizing a position of the first device among the physical markers by visually capturing any first physical marker of the physical markers using an image sensor of the first device; and recognizing a second physical marker of the physical markers and a location of the second physical marker without a line of sight, the second physical marker recognized using the relative description file.

    Abstract: A position of a cursor may be detected within an augmented reality (AR) display of a physical space captured by a camera. A snapping range of a snap-select function of the cursor may be dynamically changed in response to the position of the cursor. Accordingly, a user may place or hold a camera in a location to view an associated AR display, and may easily and precisely execute a snap-select function to select a desired AR object, even when the AR display includes AR objects that are of different sizes, or are different distances from the camera.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for drawing attention to points of interest within inserted content are provided. For example, the inserted content may include augmented reality content that is inserted into a physical space or a representation of the physical space such as an image. An example system and method may include receiving an image and identifying content to display over the image. The system and method may also include identifying a location within the image to display the content and identifying a point of interest of the content. Additionally, the example system and method may also include triggering display of the content overlaid on the image by identifying a portion of the content based on the point of interest, rendering the portion of the content using first shading parameters; and rendering the content other than the portion using second shading parameters.

    Abstract: Systems, devices, and apparatuses for a switchable augmented reality and virtual reality device are provided. An example device includes a handle, a device chamber, a viewport assembly, and a hinge assembly. The handle may be formed from folded sheets of material. The example device chamber is coupled to the handle and formed from folded sheets of material. The viewport assembly may be formed at least in part from folded sheets of material. The example hinge assembly pivotably couples the device chamber to the viewport assembly. For example, the hinge assembly may be operable to adjust the device between a virtual reality configuration and an augmented reality configuration. A display of a computing device held in the device chamber may be viewable through the viewport assembly in the virtual reality configuration and the display may be viewable without the viewport assembly in the augmented reality configuration.

    Abstract: A method includes: receiving, in a device, data defining an augmented reality (AR) environment, the data specifying a location of a first AR object in the AR environment; determining a physical inclination of the device; assigning a perception inclination to a map of the AR environment, the perception inclination based on the determined physical inclination; and triggering rendering of the map and an aspect of the AR environment on a display of the device, wherein the location of the first AR object is marked on the map and the map appears to have the perception inclination with regard to the display.

    Abstract: A method includes: triggering rendering of an augmented reality (AR) environment having a viewer configured for generating views of the AR environment; triggering rendering, in the AR environment, of an object with an outside surface visualized using a mesh having a direction oriented away from the object; performing a first determination that the viewer is inside the object as a result of relative movement between the viewer and the object; and in response to the first determination, increasing a transparency of the outside surface, reversing the direction of at least part of the mesh, and triggering rendering of an inside surface of the object using the part of the mesh having the reversed direction, wherein the inside surface is illuminated by light from outside the object due to the increased transparency.
