Saving augmented realities
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for saving augmented realities, comprising:
- collecting, with a visible-light camera of an augmented reality device, a visible-light image of a physical space;
visually presenting, on an at least partially transparent display of the augmented reality device, an augmentation image while light from the physical space passes through the at least partially transparent display to a user eye;
at least based on a user request while the augmentation image is visually presented on the at least partially transparent display, saving a combined augmented image that includes the augmentation image overlaid on the visible-light image; and
outputting the combined augmented image as a digital image, the digital image displayable on a display device not communicatively coupled with a camera, wherein the combined augmented image simulates an augmented view the user had through the at least partially transparent display when the combined augmented image was previously saved.

Abstract
Saving augmented realities includes collecting, with an augmented reality device, observation information of a physical space, and obtaining, with the augmented reality device, an augmentation associated with the physical space. An augmented view of the physical space including a visual representation of the augmentation is visually presented with the augmented reality device, and the augmented view is saved for subsequent playback.

14. An augmented reality device, comprising:
-
one or more visible-light cameras to capture a visible-light image of a physical space; an augmentation engine to obtain an augmentation image for the physical space, the augmentation image including an augmentation comprising information relating to the physical space; an at least partially transparent display to present the augmentation image while light from the physical space passes through the at least partially transparent display to a user eye; and a capture engine to, at least based on a user request while the augmentation image is visually presented on the at least partially transparent display, save a combined augmented image that includes the augmentation image overlaid on the visible-light image, and output the combined augmented image as a digital image, the digital image displayable on a display device not communicatively coupled with a camera, wherein the combined augmented image simulates an augmented view the user had through the at least partially transparent display when the combined augmented image was previously saved. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A method for saving augmented realities, comprising:
-
collecting, with a visible-light camera of an augmented reality device, a visible-light video of a physical space; visually presenting, on an at least partially transparent display of the augmented reality device, an augmentation video while light from the physical space passes through the partially transparent display to a user eye; at least based on a user request while the augmentation video is visually presented on the at least partially transparent display, saving a combined augmented video that includes the augmentation video overlaid on the visible-light video; and outputting the combined augmented video as a digital video, the digital video displayable on a display device not communicatively coupled with a camera, wherein the combined augmented video simulates an augmented view the user had through the at least partially transparent display when the combined augmented video was previously saved.
