Abstract

A system to provide augmented reality content. The system includes a connection engine to connect to a first device determined to be within physical proximity of the system. A feature extraction engine of the system is to generate a feature extractor according to the first device and provide the feature extractor to the first device via the connection engine The system includes an augmented reality generation engine to generate a generated augmented reality content according to an extracted feature provided by the feature extractor.

Claims

1. A system to provide augmented reality content, comprising:

a connection engine to connect to a first device determined to be within physical proximity of the system;

a feature extraction engine to generate a feature extractor, according to the first device and provide the feature extractor to the first device via the connection engine; and

an augmented reality generation engine to generate augmented reality content according to an extracted feature provided by the feature extractor.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the extracted feature is a code based on at least one of a video content and an audio content provided by the first device.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the feature extractor is instructions to perform at feast ore of object recognition, text recognition, and audio recognition of a content provided by the first device and/or a meta-data of the content provided by the first device.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the generated augmented reality content is displayed on a display of the system while a camera and/or microphone of the system is capturing the display of the first device.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the augmented reality generation engine is to provide specific generated augmented reality content at a specified time according to the extracted feature.

6. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions executable by a processing resource to:

connect to a first device providing video content in physical proximity of a second device via a first connection;

generate a feature extractor in the second device according, to the first device;

provide the feature extractor to the first device via the first connection;

receive an extracted feature of the video content from the first device in the second device via the first connection;

generate augmented reality content on a second display of the second device while the era of the second device is capturing a first display of the first device; and

display the augmented reality content on the second display of the second device according to an extracted feature of the video content,

wherein the extracted feature is a code based on the video content.

7. The medium of claim 6, wherein the feature extractor is o extract features from the video content periodically.

8. The medium of claim 6, wherein the extracted feature includes at least one of a title, a network, a director, a producer, closed captioning, a distributor, a time stamp, and a duration of the video content and/or meta-data associated with the video content.

9. The medium of claim 8, wherein the feature extractor is instructions to perform at least one of object recognition, text recognition, and audio recognition of the video content and/or meta-data of the video content.

10. The medium of claim 8, wherein the displayed augmented reality content is displayed at a specific time according to the video content.

11. The medium of claim 6, wherein the first connection is a wireless connection including at least one of a Bluetooth connection, a Wi-Fi connection, an Insteon connection, Infrared Data Association (IrDA) connection, Wireless USB connection, Z-Wave connection, ZigBee connection, a cellular network connection, a Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), Personal Communications Service (PCS) connection, Digital Advanced Mobile Phone Service connection, a general packet radio service (GPRS) network connection, and body area network (BAN) connection.

12. A method for providing an extracted feature to an augmented reality device, comprising

connecting a media player to an augmented reality device via a wireless connection;

receiving a feature extractor from the augmented reality device in the media player via the wireless connection;

extracting a feature rot a content being provided by the media player according to the feature extractor; and

providing the extracted feature to the augmented reality device via the wireless connection.

13. The method of claim 12, wherein the feature extractor includes instructions to perform at least one of object recognition, text recognition, and audio recognition of the content and/or a meta data of the content.

14. The method of claim 12, wherein the wireless connection is at least one of a Bluetooth connection, a Wi-Fi connection, an Insteon connection, Infrared Data Association (IrDA) connection, Wireless USB connection, Z-Wave connection, ZigBee connection, a cellular network connection, a Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), Personal Communications Service (PCS) connection, Digital Advanced Mobile Phone Service connection, a general packet radio service (GPRS) network connection, and body area network (BAN) connection.

15. The method of claim 12, wherein the media player connects to the augmented reality device when the augmented reality device is in a physical proximity of the media player.
