Abstract: Augmented reality (AR) methods are provided for guiding user movement within an AR environment. The methods involve calculating an angle between the user's current viewing direction and a target location, and determining if this angle exceeds a visibility threshold of an AR display device. A guidance vector is computed to account for user movement, and a visual navigation aid corresponding to this vector is generated to direct the user towards the target. The visual aid may be an arrow or pointer displayed on a heads-up display (HUD). The guidance vector is adjusted by a correction factor to prioritize lateral head movements and may include additional visual elements to indicate the required rotation. The system includes at least one processor and memory to execute these operations. A computer-readable storage medium contains instructions for executing the method, facilitating real-time updates of the navigation aid as the user's viewing direction changes.

Abstract: In order to guide the user to a target object that is located outside of the field of view of the wearer of the AR computing device, a rotational navigation system displays on a display device an arrow or a pointer, referred to as a direction indicator. The direction indicator is generated based on the angle between the direction of the user's head and the direction of the target object, and a correction coefficient. The correction coefficient is defined such that the greater the angle between the direction of the user's head and the direction of the target object, the greater is the horizontal component of the direction indicator.

Abstract: A system and method for displaying images on a digital display of a computing device in such a way that the images appear to be projected onto a physical space defined by visual markers in the physical environment. This involves using a digital image sensor of the computing device to detect one or more visual markers and determine a position and boundaries to display the image on the digital display of the computing device so that the images appear to be projected onto the designated space in the physical environment. The system and method also include interactive features that allow users to adjust the properties of the displayed images.

Abstract: A location-based shared augmented reality (AR) experience system is configured to permit users that find themselves in the same geographic area to easily join in a shared AR experience by creating respective instances of the shared AR experience for different previously defined geographic areas. When a user indicates a request to launch a shared AR experience accessible via a messaging client, the location-based shared AR experience system obtains or receives from the user device executing the messaging client location information of the user device, determines a previously-defined AR experience area that encompasses the location of the user device, and communicates to the user device an address of an associated instance of the shared AR experience.

Abstract: An extended Reality (XR) system provides methodologies for capturing hand poses being made by a user in low-light environments. The XR system capture, using one or more visible light cameras, tracking video frame data of a hand pose of a user of the XR system. The XR system generates hand-tracking data based on the tracking video frame data. The hand-tracking data includes a skeletal model and a hand-tracking confidence level indicating a probability that the skeletal model matches the hand pose. The XR system compares the hand-tracking confidence level to a threshold confidence value, and based on determining the first hand-tracking confidence level is below the threshold confidence value, activates one or more wide-spectrum cameras to capture subsequent tracking video frame data of the hand pose. The XR system may also activate an IR light emitter to illuminate the hands of the user.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer readable media for augmented reality (AR) physical card games. Examples capture an image of a user view of a real-world scene and process the image to determine the locations and codes of physical cards within the image. Overlays are determined for the cards based on the codes. An AR graphics component displays on a display of an AR wearable device the overlays adjusted in accordance with the user view. The overlays may be images, animations, or videos. A card game is downloaded onto the AR wearable device. The card game includes rules that keep track of a score, assist with play, and insure fair play. The card game includes user interfaces that may be shared among the players. Methods include manufacturing the playing cards with computer-readable codes to identify the cards.

Abstract: A color calibration system is configured to permit a user to adjust tint/temperature parameters while displaying a virtual color reference card on a see-through display of a computing device. The virtual color reference card corresponds to a physical color reference card that is placed in front of the AR glasses. Based on the adjustments made by the user via the color calibration UI, the color calibration system makes changes to the color properties of the see-through display. The user can continue adjusting the properties of the see-through display by interacting with the user-selectable elements in the color calibration UI, until the colors of the virtual color reference card overlayed over the field of view of the wearer of the AR glasses match the colors of the physical color reference card seen by the wearer of the AR glasses.

Abstract: An image copying assistant is a computing application configured to aid users in copying a digital image to a physical canvas using traditional media on the physical canvas. The image copying assistant utilizes augmented reality techniques to present features of the digital image projected onto the physical canvas. The image copying assistant detects previously generated markers in an output of a digital image sensor of a camera of a computing device and use the detected markers to calculate the plane and boundaries of the surface of the physical canvas. The image copying assistant uses the calculated plane and boundaries to determine a position of the digital image on a display of the computing device.
