IP3 2021-Augmented Reality 1 (LOT 11099)

This portfolio is generally related to augmented reality (AR) application. Various techniques are disclosed to provide an accurate and seamless AR experience to users by using fiducial markers having encoded data. Techniques are disclosed to accurately register real world or physical world object coordinates to the relative coordinates of an AR system by encoding data into high-contrast markers or QR codes labeled as Digitally Encoded Markers (DEMs). The system allows mobile device or a viewing device to extract the metadata of the DEM. Also disclosed are techniques to superimpose digital data onto the real world by registering the geographic world coordinates on the DEM to produce an AR experience to the user in real time. The technology may be implemented in AR applications, mobile apps, etc.
