Abstract

An augmented reality platform and method for use of the same are provided. In one embodiment, an array of locationing devices determine a perspective value of a physical object within a space based on visual-inertial odometry, radio wave positioning, and acoustic positioning. A server determines a decided value of the physical object based on a plurality of perspective values of the physical object received from the array of locationing devices. A digital map and digital library maintained by the server maintain the location of physical objects and spatial experiential objects in order to provide the spatial experiential object to an augmented reality device.

Claims (35)

1. An augmented reality platform comprising:

an array of locationing devices within a space, each locationing device having a locationing device identification providing an accurately-known location within the space;

at least one locationing device of the array of location devices configured to determine a perspective value of a physical object within the space based on at least one of: visual-inertial odometry, radio wave positioning, or acoustic positioning;

a server remotely located to the space and in communication with the array of locationing devices, the server determining a decided value of the physical object based on at least one perspective value of the physical object received from the at least one locationing device;

a digital map maintained by the server, the digital map including a first location of the physical object and a second location of a spatial experiential object;

a digital library maintained by the server, the digital library including an augmented reality profile of the spatial experiential object; and

the server having a synchronization interface, the synchronization interface providing the augmented reality profile and second location of the spatial experiential object to an augmented reality device.

2. The augmented reality platform as recited in claim 1 , wherein the physical object further comprises a tangible thing.

3. The augmented reality platform as recited in claim 1 , wherein the spatial experiential object comprises a metaphysical object.

4. The augmented reality platform as recited in claim 1 , wherein the spatial experiential object comprises a virtual object.

5. The augmented reality platform as recited in claim 1 , wherein the spatial experiential object comprises a metavirtual object.

6. The augmented reality platform as recited in claim 1 , wherein the digital map and the digital library, in combination, provide a shared experience available to a plurality of users.

7. The augmented reality platform as recited in claim 1 , wherein the digital map and the digital library, in combination, provide an instanced experience.

8. The augmented reality platform as recited in claim 1 , wherein the augmented reality device provides a display, a camera, a speaker, and a microphone.

9. The augmented reality platform as recited in claim 1 , wherein the augmented reality device provides a subset of a display, a camera, a speaker, and a microphone.

10. The augmented reality platform as recited in claim 1 , wherein the synchronization interface provides the augmented reality profile and second location of the spatial experiential object to a first augmented reality device and a second augmented reality device, the first augmented reality device and the second augmented reality device comprise varied hardware capacities.

11. The augmented reality platform as recited in claim 1 , wherein the locationing device comprises a plurality of camera nodes.

12. The augmented reality platform as recited in claim 1 , wherein the locationing device comprises a robotic camera node.

13. The augmented reality platform as recited in claim 1 , wherein the locationing device comprises a collar-mounted camera node.

14. The augmented reality platform as recited in claim 1 , wherein the augmented reality device comprises a wearable device.

15. The augmented reality platform as recited in claim 1 , wherein the augmented reality device comprises a smartphone or smart glasses.

16. An augmented reality platform comprising:

an array of locationing devices within a space, each locationing device having a locationing device identification providing an accurately-known location within the space;

at least one locationing device of the array of location devices configured to determine a perspective value of a physical object within the space based on visual-inertial odometry and radio wave positioning;

a server remotely located to the space and in communication with the array of locationing devices, the server determining a decided value of the physical object based on least one perspective value of the physical object received from the at least one locationing device;

a digital map maintained by the server, the digital map including a first location of the physical object and a second location of a spatial experiential object;

a digital library maintained by the server, the digital library including an augmented reality profile of the spatial experiential object; and

the server having a synchronization interface, the synchronization interface providing the augmented reality profile and second location of the spatial experiential object to an augmented reality device.

17. An augmented reality platform comprising:

an array of locationing devices within a space, each locationing device having a locationing device identification providing an accurately-known location within the space;

at least one locationing device of the array of location devices configured to determine a perspective value of a physical object within the space based on visual-inertial odometry;

a server remotely located to the space and in communication with the array of locationing devices, the server determining a decided value of the physical object based on at least one perspective value of the physical object received from the at least one locationing device;

a digital map maintained by the server, the digital map including a first location of the physical object and a second location of a spatial experiential object;

a digital library maintained by the server, the digital library including an augmented reality profile of the spatial experiential object; and

the server having a synchronization interface, the synchronization interface providing the augmented reality profile and second location of the spatial experiential object to an augmented reality device comprising a wearable device.
