Presence Granularity with Augmented Reality
In one embodiment, a method includes receiving information about a proximity of a plurality of users located within a covered enclosure, the information comprising one or more images or one or more sounds of at least a portion of the proximity, the information having been obtained from the proximity by a plurality client computing devices of the users automatically and without manual user input and with one or more sensors of each client computing device; identifying each user within the proximity based at least in part on the information; and determining a position of each user within the covered enclosure based at least in part on the information.
1 . A method comprising:
by a server computing device, receiving information about a proximity of a plurality of users located within a covered enclosure, the information comprising one or more images or one or more sounds of at least a portion of the proximity, the information having been obtained from the proximity by a plurality client computing devices of the users automatically and without manual user input and with one or more sensors of each client computing device;
by the server computing device, identifying each user within the proximity based at least in part on the information; and
by the server computing device, determining a position of each user within the covered enclosure based at least in part on the information.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the information comprises a video of at least a portion of the proximity.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the information comprises a still image of at least a portion of the proximity.
4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the information comprises sounds.
5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising
notifying a first user the position of a second user within the covered enclosure.
6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising
sending guiding information to the client computing device of a first user to guide the first user to the second user.
7 . One or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media embodying software that is operable when executed to:
receive information about a proximity of a plurality of users located within a covered enclosure, the information comprising one or more images or one or more sounds of at least a portion of the proximity, the information having been obtained from the proximity by a plurality client computing devices of the users automatically and without manual user input and with one or more sensors of each client computing device;
identify each user within the proximity based at least in part on the information; and
determine a position of each user within the covered enclosure based at least in part on the information.
8 . The media of claim 7 , wherein the information comprises a video of at least a portion of the proximity.
9 . The media of claim 7 , wherein the information comprises a still image of at least a portion of the proximity.
10 . The media of claim 7 , wherein the information comprises sounds.
11 . The media of claim 7 , wherein the software is further operable when executed to notify a first user the position of a second user within the covered enclosure.
12 . The media of claim 7 , wherein the software is further operable when executed to
send guiding information to the client computing device of a first user to guide the first user to the second user.
13 . A system comprising:
one or more processors; and
a memory coupled to the processors comprising instructions executable by the processors, the processors operable when executing the instructions to:
receive information about a proximity of a plurality of users located within a covered enclosure, the information comprising one or more images or one or more sounds of at least a portion of the proximity, the information having been obtained from the proximity by a plurality client computing devices of the users automatically and without manual user input and with one or more sensors of each client computing device;
identify each user within the proximity based at least in part on the information; and
determine a position of each user within the covered enclosure based at least in part on the information.
14 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the information comprises a video of at least a portion of the proximity.
15 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the information comprises a still image of at least a portion of the proximity.
16 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the information comprises sounds.
17 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the processors are further operable when executing the instructions to
notify a first user the position of a second user within the covered enclosure.
18 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the processors are further operable when executing the instructions to
send guiding information to the client computing device of a first user to guide the first user to the second user.
