Patent ID: 11210863

Abstract:
Devices, systems, and methods are provided for real-time object placement guidance in augmented reality experience. An example method may include receiving, by a device having a sensor, an indication of an object to be viewed in an physical environment of the device. The example method may also include determining a 3D model of the physical environment using data of the physical environment captured by the sensor. The example method may also include determining that a first surface in the 3D model of the environment is a first floor space, and a second surface in the 3D model of the environment is a first wall space. The example method may also include determining that a portion of the first surface is unoccupied and sized to fit the object. The example method may also include determining a first location in the 3D model of the physical environment for placement of a virtual representation of the object based on a 3D model of the object, wherein the first location corresponds to the portion of the first floor space. The example method may also include generating the virtual representation of the object for display at the first location, the virtual representation of the object having a first orientation, wherein the first orientation is based on a second orientation of the second surface. The example method may also include generating a first real-time view of the physical environment comprising the virtual representation of the object within the portion of the first location and in the first orientation. In some cases, a real-time virtual overlay may also be generated in the physical environment, the real-time virtual overlay indicating a location of a floor space in the physical environment.
