Abstract:
1. A system comprising: an augmented reality functional node having at least a projector and a camera for generating an augmented reality environment; a spatial analysis module to cause the projector to project structured light onto physical surfaces in the augmented reality environment and analyze the structured light to at least determine information about surfaces within the augmented reality environment; an authentication module to identify and authenticate a user as a specific user in the augmented reality environment based at least in part on a facial image captured using the camera of the augmented reality functional node, the authentication module to grant the user a privilege to at least temporarily interact with the augmented reality environment in response to identification and authentication of the user; a network interface to connect the augmented reality functional node to a remote computing system; and one or more client resources available within the augmented reality environment that, in response to use by the user, are configured to be identified and tracked by the augmented reality functional node based at least in part on the structured light that is used to determine the information about the surfaces, the one or more client resources to facilitate interaction with the remote computing system.
