    Abstract: A system and method provides for the transfer of the execution of content, or the casting of content, from a first computing device to a second computing device. The casting may be performed in response to a detected lift event of the second computing device including the detection of movement of the second computing device from a stored state toward a position within a field of view of a user, and an identification event of the second computing device. including the detection or identification of the second computing device within a field of view of an image sensor of the first computing device, corresponding to a field of view of the user. Detection of both the lift event and the identification event may provide a relatively high level of assurance of user intent to cast the content from the first computing device to the second computing device.

    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.

    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: A method includes: presenting, on a device, a view of at least part of an augmented reality (AR) environment, the AR environment including a first AR location corresponding to a first physical location in a physical environment; initiating a download to the device of first data representing a first AR object associated with the first AR location; assigning a size parameter to a first loading indicator for the first AR object based on a size of the first AR object; determining a spatial relationship between the view and the first physical location; and presenting the first loading indicator in the view, the first loading indicator having a size based on the assigned size parameter and being presented at a second AR location based on the determined spatial relationship.

    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.
