HANDS-FREE AUGMENTED REALITY FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DEVICES
First Claim
1. A method of executing an augmented reality application with a wireless communication device (WCD) comprising:
- receiving, with a processor of the WCD, a plurality of image frames each representing a portion of a scene;
converting the plurality of image frames into a single picture, wherein the single picture comprises at least portions of the plurality of image frames stitched together to represent the scene;
requesting augmented reality (AR) content for the scene represented in the single picture from an AR database server;
receiving the AR content for the scene represented in the single picture from an AR database server; and
processing the AR content to overlay the single picture for display on the WCD.

Abstract
This disclosure relates to techniques for providing hands-free augmented reality on a wireless communication device (WCD). According to the techniques, an application processor within the WCD executes an augmented reality (AR) application to receive a plurality of image frames and convert the plurality of image frames into a single picture comprising the plurality of image frames stitched together to represent a scene. The WCD executing the AR application then requests AR content for the scene represented in the single picture from an AR database server, receives AR content for the scene from the AR database server, and processes the AR content to overlay the single picture for display to a user on the WCD. In this way, the user may comfortably look at the single picture with the overlaid AR content on a display of the WCD to learn more about the scene represented in the single picture.
