Abstract: An exemplary depth data generation system (“system”) accesses a first depth map and a second depth map of surfaces of objects included in a real-world scene. The first and second depth maps are captured independently from one another. The system converges the first and second depth maps into a converged depth map of the surfaces of the objects included in the real-world scene. More specifically, the converging comprises assigning a first confidence value to a first depth data point in the first depth map, assigning a second confidence value to a second depth data point in the second depth map, and generating a third depth data point representing a same particular physical point as the first and second depth data points based on the first and second confidence values and on at least one of the first depth data point and the second depth data point.

Abstract: An exemplary depth data generation system accesses first and second depth maps of a real-world scene, the depth maps independently captured using first and second depth map capture techniques, respectively. The first and second depth maps include, respectively, first and second depth data points both representative of a same physical point on a surface of an object in the real-world scene. Based on the first and second depth map capture techniques and based on an attribute of the surface of the object, the system assigns a first confidence value to the first depth data point and a second confidence value to the second depth data point. Based on the first and second confidence values, the system converges the first and second depth maps to form a converged depth map of the real-world scene that includes a third depth data point representing the physical point on the surface of the object.

Abstract: An augmented reality presentation system directs a sensor included within an augmented reality projection device to capture an image of a portion of a real-world environment included within a field of view of the sensor. As the sensor captures the image, the system determines that a target object located within the real-world environment is included within the field of view of the sensor, and identifies augmented reality content associated with the target object. As the sensor continues capturing the image, the system directs a projector included within the augmented reality projection device to project the augmented reality content onto a physical surface within the real-world environment and associated with the target object. The physical surface is physically detached from the augmented reality projection device and is included within the field of view of the sensor while the augmented reality content is projected onto the physical surface.

Abstract: An augmented reality projection device includes an image sensor having a field of view into a real-world environment, a spatial sensor configured to detect a location and an orientation of the device in the environment, and a projector configured to project content onto a physical surface within the environment. The device determines the location and orientation of the device based on sensor output from the spatial sensor, and determines that a virtual target object is included within the field of view of the image sensor based on the determined location and orientation and based on a particular target object profile from a library of predetermined target object profiles. The device identifies content associated with the virtual target object and directs the projector to project the content onto the physical surface within the environment, the physical surface associated with the virtual target object. Corresponding methods and systems are also disclosed.
