AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

Enables multiple users to interact with a virtual object at the same location, with updates to the object's presentation being stored and communicated through the virtual object anchor, ensuring consistent rendering across all displays, thereby facilitating intuitive collaboration.

Problems solved by technology

A difficulty with augmented reality in a collaborative environment is that each end user has his own three dimensional virtual object presented through his own head mounted display.
Head mounted display tracking for collaboration purposes has limitations in distance accuracy, field of view, processing power and user tracking.

Embodiment Construction

[0018]A virtual object anchor coordinates presentation of a virtual object by plural information handling systems through plural head mounted displays by storing an offset of the virtual object's position relative to the virtual object anchor and providing the offset to the plural information handling systems. For purposes of this disclosure, an information handling system may include any instrumentality or aggregate of instrumentalities operable to compute, classify, process, transmit, receive, retrieve, originate, switch, store, display, manifest, detect, record, reproduce, handle, or utilize any form of information, intelligence, or data for business, scientific, control, or other purposes. For example, an information handling system may be a personal computer, a network storage device, or any other suitable device and may vary in size, shape, performance, functionality, and price. The information handling system may include random access memory (RAM), one or more processing reso...

Abstract

A virtual object anchor stores an offset in memory that defines a virtual object position, orientation and scale relative to the location of the virtual object anchor. Information handling systems retrieve and apply the offset to generate a virtual object in a head mounted display that is presented at a location relative to the virtual object defined by the offset. In one embodiment, gestures detected by information handling system sensors that change the position, orientation or scale of the virtual object are applied to update the offset and communicated for storage at the virtual object anchor. In another embodiment, gestures detected by sensors of the virtual object anchor are applied to update the offset so that the updated offset is communicated to the information handling systems for presentation of the virtual object at an updated position, orientation and / or scale determined from the gestures.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONField of the Invention[0001]The present invention relates in general to the field of information handling system visual information presentation, and more particularly to an information handling system augmented reality through a virtual object anchor.Description of the Related Art[0002]As the value and use of information continues to increase, individuals and businesses seek additional ways to process and store information. One option available to users is information handling systems. An information handling system generally processes, compiles, stores, and / or communicates information or data for business, personal, or other purposes thereby allowing users to take advantage of the value of the information. Because technology and information handling needs and requirements vary between different users or applications, information handling systems may also vary regarding what information is handled, how the information is handled, how much information is p...
