Abstract:
The present invention embraces a system, device, and method for adding lighting effects to augmented reality (AR) content (i.e., virtual objects). Light sensors in an augmented reality (AR) system monitor an environment's lighting conditions to acquire lighting data that can be used to create (or update) virtual light sources. Depth sensors in the AR system sense the environment to acquire mapping data that can be used to create a 3D model of the environment while tracking the system's location within the environment. Algorithms running on a processor may then add the virtual light sources to the 3D model of the environment so that, when AR content is created, lighting effects corresponding to the virtual light sources can be added. The resulting AR content with virtual lighting effects appear more realistic to a user.

Claim (Index 21):
An augmented reality (AR) system, comprising:\n a display for displaying AR content to a user, wherein the AR content is configured to be overlaid on a perspective view of an environment; a light sensor for gathering light data from a light source in the environment; a depth sensor for gathering mapping data of a physical object in the environment and the light source in the environment; and a computing device communicatively coupled to the display, the light sensor, and the depth sensor, the computing device comprising a processor that is configured to: construct a three-dimensional (3D) model of the environment using the mapping data, create AR content corresponding to the environment, add a lighting effect to the AR content that corresponds to a physical lighting effect of the physical object in the AR system's perspective view of the environment, and transmit the AR content with the lighting effect to the display, wherein the AR content is arranged on the display such that it indicates a location of the physical object in the environment.
