Systems and methods for utilizing a device as a marker for augmented reality content
First Claim
1. A system configured to utilize a marker device as a marker for virtual content viewed in an augmented reality environment, wherein the marker device includes electronic storage that stores virtual content information, the system comprising:
- a display device configured to generate light and provide the light to an eye of a user such that the light forms images of the virtual content configured to be perceived in the augmented reality environment as if it were present in the real world; and
one or more physical computer processors configured by computer readable instructions to;
facilitate one or more wireless communication sessions with the marker device;
obtain virtual content information from the marker device during one of the one or more wireless communication sessions with the marker device, the virtual content information defining a set of virtual content and a correlation between multiple linkage points associated with the marker device and a reference frame of the set of virtual content, wherein a position of each of the multiple linkage points in the real world defines the reference frame with respect to the real world;
generate an image of the set of virtual content to be displayed in the augmented reality environment from the virtual content information obtained from the marker device during the one or more of the wireless communication sessions without using any other information obtained from an external source, wherein the image of the set of virtual content is generated based on a field of view of the user and the correlation between the multiple linkage points and the reference frame of the set of virtual content; and
cause the generated image to be displayed in the augmented reality environment via the display device.

Abstract
Systems and methods for utilizing a device as a marker for virtual content viewed in an augmented reality environment are discussed herein. The device (or sign post) may comprise a wirelessly connectable device linked to a power source and associated with multiple linkage points. The device may provide information to a user (or a device of a user) defining virtual content and a correlation between the linkage points and a reference frame of the virtual content. When rendered by a display device, the virtual content may be presented based on the reference frame of the virtual content correlated to the real world by virtue of the position of the linkage points in the real world.

12. A method for utilizing a marker device as a marker for virtual content viewed in an augmented reality environment, wherein the marker device includes electronic storage that stores virtual content information, the method comprising:
-
facilitating one or more wireless communication sessions with the marker device; obtaining virtual content information from the marker device during one of the one or more wireless communication sessions with the marker device, the virtual content information defining a set of virtual content and a correlation between multiple linkage points associated with the marker device and a reference frame of the set of virtual content, wherein a position of each of the multiple linkage points in the real world defines the reference frame with respect to the real world; generating an image of the set of virtual content to be displayed in the augmented reality environment from the virtual content information obtained from the marker device during the one or more of the wireless communication sessions without using any other information obtained from an external source, wherein the image of the set of virtual content is generated based on a field of view of the user and the correlation between the multiple linkage points and the reference frame of the set of virtual content; and causing the generated image to be displayed in the augmented reality environment via a display device configured to generate light and provide the light to an eye of a user such that the light forms images of the virtual content configured to be perceived in the augmented reality environment as if it were present in the real world. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
