Abstract

A perceived speed of motion associated with a user may be changed by determining a speed and a direction of the motion associated with the user within a reference frame. Augmented reality content may be determined for presentation on a display. A direction and a speed of motion associated with the augmented reality content within the reference frame may be determined. The direction of motion associated with the augmented reality content may oppose the direction of motion associated with the user. The speed of motion associated with the augmented reality content may increase as the speed of motion associated with the user increases. The augmented reality content may be presented such that the augmented reality content appears to move toward and past a position associated with the user at the perceived speed that is faster than the speed of motion associated with the user.

Claims (46)

1. A system configured to change a perceived speed of motion, the system comprising:

a display configured to present augmented reality content, the augmented reality content presented in conjunction with real world surroundings which are visible on or through the display, the augmented reality content presented within a reference frame that is fixed with respect to the real world surroundings;

determine a speed and a direction of the motion of the remote-controlled vehicle within the reference frame based on the output signals;

determine the augmented reality content for presentation on the display, determining the augmented reality content including:

selecting first augmented reality content, the first augmented reality content being moveable within the reference frame;

determining a direction of motion associated with the first augmented reality content within the reference frame, the direction of the motion associated with the first augmented reality content being determined based on the direction of the motion of the remote-controlled vehicle within the reference frame, the direction of the motion associated with the first augmented reality content opposing the direction of the motion of the remote-controlled vehicle; and

determining a speed of the motion associated with the first augmented reality content within the reference frame, the speed of the motion associated with the first augmented reality content being determined based on the speed of the motion of the remote-controlled vehicle, the speed of the motion associated with the first augmented reality content causing the user's perception of the speed of the motion of the remote-controlled vehicle to change, the speed of the motion associated with the first augmented reality content being determined to increase as the speed of the motion of the remote-controlled vehicle within the reference frame increases such that the user's perceived speed of the motion of the remote-controlled vehicle is faster than the speed of the motion of the remote-controlled vehicle within the reference frame; and

effectuate presentation of the augmented reality content on the display such that the first augmented reality content appears to move toward and past a position associated with the user at the perceived speed that is faster than the speed of the motion of the remote-controlled vehicle.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein a relationship between the speed of the motion of the remote-controlled vehicle and the speed of the motion associated with the first augmented reality content includes a linear relationship.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein a relationship between the speed of the motion of the remote-controlled vehicle user and the speed of the motion associated with the first augmented reality content includes a non-linear relationship.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein a relationship between the speed of the motion of the remote-controlled vehicle and the speed of the motion associated with the first augmented reality content includes a threshold speed, and determining the augmented reality content further includes determining a speed line effect in response to the speed of the motion of the remote-controlled vehicle within the reference frame meeting and/or exceeding the threshold speed.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein:

determining the augmented reality content further includes selecting second augmented reality content, the second augmented reality content fixed within the reference frame at an augmented reality content position; and

presentation of the augmented reality content on the display is further effectuated such that the second augmented reality content appears to be fixed at the augmented reality content position.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more physical processors are further configured by machine-readable instruction to determine a field of view associated with the user and effectuating presentation of the augmented reality content on the display is further based on the field of view associated with the user.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the field of view associated with the user includes a field of view of an image sensor.

8. A method to change a perceived speed of motion, the method comprising:

generating output signals conveying motion of a remote-controlled vehicle controlled by a user within a reference frame, the reference frame being fixed with respect to real world surroundings;

determining a speed and a direction of the motion of the remote-controlled vehicle within the reference frame based on the output signals;

determining augmented reality content for presentation on a display, determining the augmented reality content including:

selecting first augmented reality content, the first augmented reality content being moveable within the reference frame;

determining a direction of motion associated with the of first augmented reality content within the reference frame, the direction of the motion associated with the first augmented reality content being determined based on the direction of the motion of the remote-controlled vehicle within the reference frame, the direction of the motion associated with the first augmented reality content opposing the direction of the motion of the remote-controlled vehicle; and

determining a speed of the motion associated with the first augmented reality content within the reference frame, the speed of the motion associated with the first augmented reality content being determined based on the speed of the motion of the remote-controlled vehicle, the speed of the motion associated with the first augmented reality content causing the user's perception of the speed of the motion of the remote-controlled vehicle to change, the speed of the motion associated with the first augmented reality content being determined to increase as the speed of the motion of the remote-controlled vehicle within the reference frame increases such that the user's perceived speed of the motion of the remote-controlled vehicle is faster than the speed of the motion of the remote-controlled vehicle within the reference frame; and
