Patent ID: 11922560
Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLC
Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 7:
8. A computing device comprising:
a camera;
a graphical display;
a processor; and
memory storing instructions executable by the processor to
capture first image data via the camera,
create a first spatial representation of a first physical world location based on the first image data, the first spatial representation comprising a first sparse point cloud,
receive a first user input defining a pose of a first virtual spatial anchor within the first sparse point cloud of the first spatial representation, the first user input including one or more of a touch input at the graphical display or an eye tracking input,
track user movement toward a second physical world location,
capture second image data via the camera,
create a second spatial representation of the second physical world location based on the second image data, the second spatial representation comprising a second sparse point cloud,
receive a second user input defining a pose of a second virtual spatial anchor within the second spatial representation, and
send, to a remote computing device, data representing the pose of the first virtual spatial anchor, the pose of the second virtual spatial anchor, and a spatial relationship between the first virtual spatial anchor and the second virtual spatial anchor identified from the user movement.
