Systems, methods, and storage media for conveying virtual content in an augmented reality environment
First Claim
1. A system configured to convey virtual content in an augmented reality environment comprising images of virtual content superimposed over physical objects and/or physical surroundings visible within a field of view of a user as if the images of the virtual content were present in the real world, wherein the augmented reality environment includes (i) the physical objects and/or the physical surroundings visible within the field of view of the user and (ii) images of virtual content presented in conjunction with the physical objects and/or the physical surroundings, the system comprising:
- electronic storage that stores (i) virtual content information defining virtual content correlations between multiple linkage points and a reference frame of the virtual content, wherein relative positions of the multiple linkage points in the real world define the reference frame with respect to the real world, and (ii) accessibility criteria for the virtual content, wherein the virtual content includes a first virtual content item; and
one or more physical computer processors configured by computer readable instructions to;
obtain user information for a user associated with a presentation device physically present at a location of the system, wherein the user information for the user is defined at least in part by values of user parameters, the user parameters including one or more of passwords, pin numbers, biometric information, and/or radio frequency identification (RFID), wherein the values of the user parameters identify the user associated with the presentation device and/or the presentation device;
compare the user information with the accessibility criteria for the virtual content to determine whether any portions of the virtual content are to be presented to the user based on the accessibility criteria and the user information for the user;
facilitate presentation of the virtual content to the user via the presentation device of the user based on the virtual content information, a field of view of the user, the correlation between the multiple linkage points and the reference frame of the virtual content, and the comparison of the user information with the accessibility criteria; and
receive a first accessibility criterion for the first virtual content item from an administrative user, wherein the accessibility criteria include the first accessibility criterion.

Abstract
Systems and methods for conveying virtual content in an augmented reality environment comprising images of virtual content superimposed over physical objects and/or physical surroundings visible within a field of view of a user as if the images of the virtual content were present in the real world. Exemplary implementations may: obtain user information for a user associated with a presentation device physically present at a location of the system; compare the user information with the accessibility criteria for the virtual content to determine whether any portions of the virtual content are to be presented to the user based on the accessibility criteria and the user information for the user; and facilitate presentation of the virtual content to the user via presentation device of user based on the virtual content information, the field of view, and the correlations between the multiple linkage points and the reference frame of the virtual content.

9. A method for conveying virtual content in an augmented reality environment comprising images of virtual content superimposed over physical objects and/or physical surroundings visible within a field of view of a user as if the images of the virtual content were present in the real world, wherein the augmented reality environment includes (i) the physical objects and/or the physical surroundings visible within the field of view of the user and (ii) images of virtual content presented in conjunction with the physical objects and/or the physical surroundings, the method comprising:
-
storing (i) virtual content information defining virtual content correlations between multiple linkage points and a reference frame of the virtual content, wherein relative positions of the multiple linkage points in the real world define the reference frame with respect to the real world, and (ii) accessibility criteria for the virtual content, wherein the virtual content includes a first virtual content item; obtaining user information for a user associated with a presentation device physically present at a location of the method, wherein the user information for the user is defined at least in part by values of user parameters, the user parameters including one or more of passwords, pin numbers, biometric information, and/or radio frequency identification (RFID), wherein the values of the user parameters identify the user associated with the presentation device and/or the presentation device; comparing the user information with the accessibility criteria for the virtual content to determine whether any portions of the virtual content are to be presented to the user based on the accessibility criteria and the user information for the user; facilitating presentation of the virtual content to the user via the presentation device of the user based on the virtual content information, a field of view of the user, the correlation between the multiple linkage points and the reference frame of the virtual content, and the comparison of the user information with the accessibility criteria; and receiving a first accessibility criterion for the first virtual content item from an administrative user, wherein the accessibility criteria include the first accessibility criterion. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
