Abstract

Described augmented reality (AR) systems and devices provide users with enhanced human sensorial perceptions using digital content. The system software platform and methodology are especially suited to design and deploy immersive AR experiences to visitors of cultural sites on user wearable devices. Unencumbered by clumsy handheld devices, users are free to roam through augmented environments, indoors and out, without barriers allowing a story to unfold before their eyes. Cultural sites come alive, improving educational outcomes for heritage destinations. Using graphical user interfaces, the system enables platform administrators to convert disparate cultural site content to coherent AR story-telling experiences called palimpsests or tours. During a learning phase, points of interest are catalogued and images are taken at different angles and under different lighting conditions to create markers. Using geolocation systems, data is loaded on the smartglasses a roomful at a time to increase efficiency. In use, AR content is generated after points of interest markers are matched using similarity and threshold algorithms.

Claims (12)

1. A graphical user interface system for creating palimpsests to deliver augmented reality content to users on computerized portable devices at sides comprising:

a processor, a memory and a display configured to generate:

a user interface screen for naming and graphically representing a palimpsest for augmented reality content wherein scenarios, scenes and geometrics are named and graphically represented;

a user interface screen for changing scene assigned to a scenario by graphically moving a scene from one position to another within the palimpsest;

a user interface screen for uploading multimedia content for inclusion in the palimpsest;

a user interface screen for adding and deleting multimedia content from the palimpsest wherein geometries are added or deleted from a scene;

a user interface screen for associating augmented reality content to anchor points of an object wherein user input is accepted to assign augmented reality content to an anchor point in an object;

a user interface screen for duplicating the palimpsest and for duplicating portions of the palimpsest;

a user interface screen for changing the language on a duplicate palimpsest;

a scene editor screen, including a grid, for positioning and rotating augmented reality content contained in the palimpsest wherein the user input is accepted to rotate augmented reality content; and

a user interface screen for publishing one or more palimpsests containing augmented reality content.

2. The user interface of claim 1 further comprising a user interface screen for generating a new scene and assigning properties to the scene including a latitude and longitude for the scene and assigning audio to the scene.
