AI Technical Summary
Augmented reality systems face challenges in properly displaying points of interest (POIs) due to improper occlusion perception, where POIs related to occluded objects are not distinguished from visible objects, leading to confusion and poor user experience.
A method for representing virtual information in a real environment using a system setup with a display device, determining the position of a viewing point relative to real environment components, and employing a geometry model to calculate ray intersections, blending POIs in non-occlusion mode if fewer than two boundaries are crossed, and in occlusion mode otherwise.
Improves occlusion perception by distinguishing POIs related to visible and occluded objects, enhancing user understanding of the real environment by clearly differentiating between them.
