Abstract

An augmented reality device may consist of at least a controller, memory, and at least one screen. The augmented reality device can be configured to display an augmented reality digital content via the at least one screen with the augmented reality digital content positioned at a physical location and displayed only when a user is oriented towards the physical location.

Claims

1. A system comprising an augmented reality device comprising a controller, memory, and at least one screen, the augmented reality device configured to display an augmented reality digital content via the at least one screen, the augmented reality digital content positioned at a physical location and displayed only when a user is oriented towards the physical location.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the physical location corresponds with a volume of airspace defined by multiple longitude, latitude, and altitude coordinates.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the augmented reality device is worn by the user.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the at least one screen is positioned proximal an eye of the user.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the physical location corresponds with a volume of airspace.

6. The system of claim 5, wherein the volume of airspace is defined by four unique coordinates, each unique coordinate having a longitude, latitude, and altitude.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the augmented reality device maintains the augmented reality digital content at the physical location regardless of the position and orientation of the user.

8. An apparatus comprising an augmented reality device comprising a controller, memory, and at least one screen, the augmented reality device configured to display an augmented reality digital content via the at least one screen and be wirelessly mobile via at least one network adapter connected to the controller, the augmented reality digital content positioned at a physical location and displayed only when a user is oriented towards the physical location.

9. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the controller and at least one network adapter provides a global position of the augmented reality device, the global position consisting of a latitude, longitude, and altitude.

10. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein at least one network adapter connects the augmented reality device to at least one remote server, the server providing the augmented reality digital content to the augmented reality device.

11. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the augmented reality digital content comprises a two dimensional image.

12. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the augmented reality digital content comprises a three dimensional image.

13. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the augmented reality digital content comprises a video.

14. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the augmented reality digital content is invisible to the naked eye.

15. An augmented reality device comprising a controller, memory, and at least one screen, the augmented reality device configured to display an augmented reality digital content via the at least one screen, the augmented reality digital content positioned at a physical location and displayed only when a user is oriented towards the physical location, the controller connected to an interaction circuit and configured to recognize user engagement with the physical location and correlate the user engagement with interaction with the augmented reality digital content.

16. The augmented reality device of claim 15, wherein the user engagement is recognized by at least one sensor.

17. The augmented reality device of claim 15, wherein the controller correlates the user engagement with articulation of the augmented reality digital content.

18. The augmented reality device of claim 15, wherein the controller correlates the user engagement with modification of the augmented reality digital content.

19. The augmented reality device of claim 15, wherein the controller correlates the user engagement with purchasing of a good or service.

20. The augmented reality device of claim 15, wherein the controller is configured to differentiate between pointing, selecting, and rotating user engagements with the augmented reality digital content.
