Abstract

Methods and systems are disclosed for displaying an augmented reality virtual object on a multimedia device. One method comprises detecting, in an augmented reality environment displayed using a first device, a virtual object; detecting, within the augmented reality environment, a second device, the second device comprising a physical multimedia device; and generating, at the second device, a display comprising a representation of the virtual object.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A computer-implemented method for displaying an augmented reality virtual object on a multimedia device, comprising:
detecting, in an augmented reality environment displayed using a first device, a virtual object;
detecting, within the augmented reality environment, a second device, the second device comprising a physical multimedia device;
generating, at the second device, a display comprising a representation of the virtual object;
receiving a user input via the first device;
prompting an updated display of the virtual object at the second device based on the received user input; and
retrieving, by the second device, the updated display from one or more representations of the virtual object stored in a database.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first device comprises an augmented reality device connected to the second device via a virtual network.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
detecting a user selection of the virtual object; and
prompting the display of the virtual object at the second device, in response to the user selection.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the user selection comprises gesture, including a swiping, clicking, double-clicking, touching, grabbing, or pinching motion across a depiction of the virtual object in the augmented reality environment, or
wherein the user selection comprises a voice command.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the user input is received via a controller associated with the first device, and wherein the user input comprises a selection to rotate, zoom in, zoom out, change color, change dimensions of the virtual object, purchase the virtual object, view items related to the virtual object, display the virtual object with one or more other virtual objects, or a combination thereof.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the updated display comprises a rotated, zoomed in, zoomed out, color variation, or geometrically modified view of the virtual object.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
simultaneously displaying the virtual object at the first device and at the second device.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
prompting a display of at least a portion of the augmented reality environment on the second device, wherein the portion of the augmented reality environment includes background scenic features.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
prompting a display of a payment interface for purchase of the virtual object.

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:
determining transaction specifications associated with the virtual object, the transaction specifications including weight, price, delivery information, color, geometric dimensions, promotional code(s), user review(s), image(s) of the object, size information, use information, material composition, nutritional information, dosage, serving size, ingredient information, warnings, warranty information, or a combination thereof; and
prompting the display of the payment interface to include the transaction specifications.

11. A system for displaying objects between disparate devices, the system comprising:
one or more processors; a data storage comprising instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform a method comprising:
detecting, in an augmented reality environment displayed using a first device, a virtual object;
detecting, within the augmented reality environment, a second device, the second device comprising a physical multimedia device;
generating, at the second device, a display comprising a representation of the virtual object; and
receiving a user input via the first device;
prompting an updated display of the virtual object at the second device based on the received user input; and
retrieving, by the second device, the updated display from one or more representations of the virtual object stored in a database.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the first device comprises an augmented reality device connected to the second device via a virtual network.

13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the method further comprises:
detecting a user selection of the virtual object; and
prompting the display of the virtual object at the second device, in response to the user selection.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the user selection comprises gesture, including a swiping, clicking, double-clicking, touching, grabbing, or pinching motion across a depiction of the virtual object in the augmented reality environment, or
wherein the user selection comprises a voice command.

15. The system of claim 11 , wherein the user input is received via a controller associated with the first device, the user input comprising a selection to rotate, zoom in, zoom out, change color, change dimensions of the virtual object, purchase the virtual object, view items related to the virtual object, display the virtual object with one or more other virtual objects, or a combination thereof.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the updated display comprises a rotated, zoomed in, zoomed out, color variation, or geometrically modified view of the virtual object.

17. The system of claim 11 , wherein the method further comprises:
simultaneously displaying the virtual object at the first device and at the second device.

18. The system of claim 11 , wherein the method further comprises:
prompting a display of at least a portion of the augmented reality environment on the second device, wherein the portion of the augmented reality environment includes background scenic features.

19. The system of claim 11 , wherein the method further comprises:
prompting a display of a payment interface for purchase of the virtual object;
determining transaction specifications associated with the virtual object, the transaction specifications including weight, price, delivery information, color, geometric dimensions, promotional code(s), user review(s), image(s) of the object, size information, use information, material composition, nutritional information, dosage, serving size, ingredient information, warnings, warranty information, or a combination thereof; and
prompting the display of the payment interface to include the transaction specifications.

20. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform a method comprising:
detecting, in an augmented reality environment displayed using a first device, a virtual object;
detecting, within the augmented reality environment, a second device, the second device comprising a physical multimedia device;
generating, at the second device, a display comprising a representation of the virtual object; and
receiving a user input via the first device;
prompting an updated display of the virtual object at the second device based on the received user input; and
retrieving, by the second device, the updated display from one or more representations of the virtual object stored in a database.
