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 method for prompting an updated display of a virtual object at a multimedia device, the method comprising:
detecting, by a user device, the virtual object in an augmented reality environment displayed;
detecting, by the user device, the multimedia device within the augmented reality environment;
prompting, by the user device, a display of the virtual object at the multimedia device;
receiving, by the user device, a user input comprising an interaction with the virtual object; and
prompting, by the user device, the updated display of the virtual object at the multimedia device based on the user input.

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

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the interaction is a user selection of the virtual object.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the user selection comprises a touch gesture or a voice command.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the user input is received via a controller associated with the user device, and wherein the interaction 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 , wherein the virtual object is displayed at the user device and at the multimedia device simultaneously.

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

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

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:
determining, by the user device, 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 virtual object, size information, use information, material composition, nutritional information, dosage, serving size, ingredient information, warnings, warranty information, or a combination thereof; and
prompting, by the user device, the display of the payment interface to include the transaction specifications.

11. A user device for prompting an updated display of a virtual object at a multimedia device, the user device comprising:
one or more processors; and
a data storage comprising instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
detecting the virtual object in an augmented reality environment displayed;
detecting the multimedia device within the augmented reality environment;
prompting a display of the virtual object at the multimedia device;
receiving a user input comprising an interaction with the virtual object; and
prompting the updated display of the virtual object at the multimedia device based on the user input.

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

13. The user device of claim 11 , wherein the interaction is a user selection of the virtual object.

14. The user device of claim 13 , wherein the user selection comprises a touch gesture or a voice command.

15. The user device of claim 11 , wherein the user input is received via a controller associated with the user device, and wherein the interaction 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.

16. The user device 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 user device of claim 11 , wherein the virtual object is displayed at the user device and at the multimedia device simultaneously.

18. The user device of claim 11 , wherein the operations further comprise prompting the display of at least a portion of the augmented reality environment on the multimedia device, and wherein the portion of the augmented reality environment includes background scenic features.

19. The user device of claim 11 , wherein the operations further comprise:
prompting the 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 operations comprising:
detecting the virtual object in an augmented reality environment displayed;
detecting the multimedia device within the augmented reality environment;
prompting a display of the virtual object at the multimedia device;
receiving a user input comprising an interaction with the virtual object; and
prompting the updated display of the virtual object at the multimedia device based on the user input.
