Abstract

Technologies are generally described for systems, devices and methods effective to evaluate an augmented reality skin. In some examples, when an augmented reality skin, when an augmented reality skin is executed in a full mode, the augmented reality skin may produce a set of augmented data. The set of augmented data, when rendered, may produce a first set of media attributes related to execution of the augmented reality skin in the full mode. The augmented reality skin may be executed in an evaluation mode to produce the set of augmented data and to produce a set of preview data. The set of preview data may be rendered to display a second set of media attributes related to a preview of the augmented reality skin. A preview image of the augmented reality skin may include the first set and second set of media attributes.

Claims

1. A method to generate a preview image based on an augmented reality skin, the method comprising, by a processor:

retrieving the augmented reality skin from a memory, wherein the augmented reality skin, when executed in a full mode, produces a set of augmented data, and wherein the set of augmented data, when rendered, produces a first set of media attributes related to execution of the augmented reality skin;

executing the augmented reality skin in an evaluation mode to produce the set of augmented data and to produce a set of augmented reality preview data; and

rendering the set of augmented reality preview data to display a second set of preview media attributes, different from the first set of media attributes, and related to a preview of the augmented reality skin, wherein the evaluation mode is enabled for a defined amount of time, wherein the defined amount of time is measured from a time at which the second set of preview media attributes is displayed by the processor in the evaluation mode, and wherein the preview image of the augmented reality skin includes the first set of media attributes related to execution of the augmented reality skin, and the second set of preview media attributes related to the preview of the augmented reality skin.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the second set of preview media attributes includes a name of the augmented reality skin.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the second set of preview media attributes includes a highlight around the first set of media attributes.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising, by the processor, displaying the preview image of the augmented reality skin for a defined number of frames.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising, prior to rendering the set of augmented reality preview data, rendering the set of augmented data to produce the first set of media attributes.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the second set of preview media attributes includes a display of an acquisition pane, and wherein the acquisition pane comprises an interface that facilitates acquisition of the augmented reality skin.

7. The method of claim 6, further comprising:

receiving a selection in the acquisition pane; and

enabling execution of the augmented reality skin in the full mode in response to the selection in the acquisition pane.

8. An augmented reality device, comprising:

a processor;

a display configured to be in communication with the processor; and

a memory configured to be in communication with the processor,

wherein the processor is configured to;

retrieve an augmented reality skin from the memory, wherein the augmented reality skin, when executed in a full mode, produces a set of augmented data;

render the set of augmented data to produce a first set of media attributes;

execute the augmented reality skin in an evaluation mode to produce the set of augmented data and to produce a set of preview data; and

render the set of preview data to produce a second set of preview media attributes, different from the first set of media attributes, and related to a preview of the augmented reality skin, wherein the evaluation mode is enabled for a defined amount of time, wherein the defined amount of time is measured from a time at which the second set of preview media attributes is displayed by the processor in the evaluation mode, and wherein a preview image of the augmented reality skin includes the first set of media attributes related to execution of the augmented reality skin, and the second set of preview media attributes related to the preview of the augmented reality skin.

9. The augmented reality device of claim 8, wherein the second set of preview media attributes includes a name of the augmented reality skin.

10. The augmented reality device of claim 8, wherein the second set of preview media attributes includes a highlight around the first set of media attributes.

11. The augmented reality device of claim 8, wherein the processor is further configured to cause a display of the preview image of the augmented reality skin for a defined number of frames.

12. The augmented reality device of claim 8, wherein the second set of preview media attributes includes a display of an acquisition pane, and wherein the acquisition pane comprises an interface that facilitates acquisition of the augmented reality skin.

13. The augmented reality device of claim 12, wherein the processor is further configured to:

receive a selection in the acquisition pane; and

enable execution of the augmented reality skin in the full mode in response to the selection in the acquisition pane.

14. An augmented reality device, comprising:

a processor;

a memory configured to be in communication with the processor; and

a display configured to be in communication with the processor, wherein the processor is configured to;

retrieve an augmented reality skin from the memory, wherein the augmented reality skin, when executed in a full mode, produces a set of augmented data, and wherein the set of augmented data, when rendered, produces a first set of media attributes related to execution of the augmented reality skin;

execute the augmented reality skin in an evaluation mode to produce the set of augmented data and to produce a set of preview data;

render the set of preview data to produce a second set of preview media attributes, different from the first set of media attributes, and related to a preview of the augmented reality skin on the display for a defined amount of time, wherein a preview image of the augmented reality skin includes the rendered first set of media attributes related to execution of the augmented reality skin, and the rendered second set of preview media attributes related to the preview of the augmented reality skin, wherein the second set of preview media attributes includes a display of an acquisition pane, and wherein the acquisition pane comprises an interface that facilitates acquisition of the augmented reality skin;

receive a selection in the acquisition pane;

enable execution of the augmented reality skin in the full mode in response to the selection in the acquisition pane; and

generate a prompt on the display to request the selection in the acquisition pane prior to an expiration of the evaluation mode.

15. The augmented reality device of claim 14, wherein the processor is further configured to render the set of augmented data to display the first set of media attributes on the display.

16. The augmented reality device of claim 14, wherein the second set of preview media attributes includes a name of the augmented reality skin or a highlight around the first set of media attributes.
