Abstract

Claims (27)

1 . An improved augmented reality object handling system, comprising:

a. a display device;

b. a camera functionally coupled to the display such that visual data from the camera is displayed on the display;

c. an augmented reality object, including:

i. rendering data configured to provide instructions for displaying the AR object on the display; and

ii. behavior instructions, the behavior instructions including interaction instructions for how the AR object interacts with visual data from the camera and/or other AR objects;

d. an interaction broker in communication with the AR object, wherein the interaction broker includes a query script which determines the order in which interactions are triggered, wherein the query script includes a concurrency algorithm that includes a set of interactions that are to be displayed as if occurring simultaneously, and wherein the interaction broker:

i. loads into memory interaction instructions from associated AR objects,

ii. tracks positions of associated AR objects, and

iii. triggers interactions based on loaded interaction instructions, characteristics, and tracked positions.

2 . The improved augmented reality object handling system of claim 1 , wherein the interaction broker loads visual data from the camera.

3 . The improved augmented reality object handling system of claim 2 , wherein the visual data is loaded from the camera to the interaction broker through a network.

4 . The improved augmented reality object handling system of claim 3 , wherein the augmented reality object includes a set of characteristics readable by the characteristic interaction broker.

5 . The improved augmented reality object handling system of claim 4 , wherein the interaction broker loads into memory the behavior instructions.

6 . The improved augmented reality object handling system of claim 5 , wherein the augmented reality object includes a set of placement rules.

7 . The improved augmented reality object handling system of claim 6 , wherein the interaction instructions reference specific characteristics that trigger particular interaction behaviors.

8 . A method for implementing AR content in a computerized system, comprising the steps of:

a. receiving visual data from a camera;

b. interpreting the visual data by operation of a processor, thereby generating object-relevant visual data;

c. tracking the object relevant visual data on a display device by operation of an object recognition system;

d. receiving augmented reality object data, including rendering data and associated behavior instructions that include interaction instructions;

e. loading the augmented reality object data into an interaction broker;

f. resolving interactions by operation of the interaction broker;

g. displaying resolved interactions on a display device in accordance with the rendering data; and

h. organizing simultaneously triggered interactions based on order of interaction.

9 . The method of claim 8 , further including a step of displaying a pair of sequentially resolved interaction triggers as being simultaneous interactions.

10 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the steps of receiving the visual data and the augmented reality data are received over a network.
