Application: Cross reality system for large scale environments (Patent ID: US20240135656A1)
The patent filed by Magic Leap Inc. describes a cross-reality system that allows portable devices to access stored maps and render virtual content accurately. The system processes images acquired by the portable device to localize it to the stored maps based on the estimated direction of gravity and the coordinate frame of the data in the localization request. By aligning the data with the estimated direction of gravity during processing, the system ensures accurate localization and rendering of virtual content.
The patent claims detail a system that supports the specification of virtual content positions relative to persisted maps in a database. The system includes a localization service that receives localization requests from portable electronic devices, computes candidate localizations based on gravity vectors, and generates a consensus-based localization. The system reduces degrees of freedom based on gravity vectors, aligns coordinate frames, and computes transformations for accurate localization. Additionally, the patent describes an electronic device within the system that captures 3D environment information, determines the estimated direction of gravity, aligns the coordinate frame accordingly, and communicates with the localization service to receive the device's pose relative to persisted maps. The device's functionality includes feature extraction, alignment, and communication with the system's services for accurate localization and rendering of virtual content.
