Claim 0:
1. A method for presenting augmented reality features without localizing a user, the method comprising:
receiving, by one or more processors, a request for presenting augmented reality features in a camera view of a computing device of the user;
prior to localizing the user, obtaining, by the one or more processors, sensor data indicative of a location of the user;
determining, by the one or more processors, the location of the user based on the sensor data with a confidence level that exceeds a confidence threshold which indicates a low accuracy state having a low degree of precision for the location of the user;
presenting, by the one or more processors, one or more augmented reality features in the camera view in accordance with the determined location of the user while in the low accuracy state, wherein the one or more augmented reality features have a lower degree of precision than additional or updated augmented reality features presented while in a high accuracy state having a high degree of precision for the location of the user;
after presenting the one or more augmented reality features while in the low accuracy state, localizing the user by determining an updated location of the user with a confidence level within the confidence threshold which indicates the high accuracy state; and
presenting, by the one or more processors, the additional or updated augmented reality features in the camera view in accordance with the updated location of the user while in the high accuracy state.
