Definitions
- the present invention relates to methods and systems for augmented reality.
- Augmented reality is a term for a live, direct or an indirect, view of a physical, real-world environment whose elements are augmented by computer-generated information such as text, sound, video, graphics or GPS data. Artificial information about the environment and its objects is thus overlaid on a real world view or image. Augmentation is typically in real-time and in semantic context with environmental elements so that information about the surrounding real world of the user becomes interactive and digitally manipulatable.
- the main hardware components for augmented reality are a processor, display, sensors and input devices. These elements, specifically a CPU, display, camera and MEMS sensors such as accelerometer, GPS, or solid state compass are present in portable device such as smartphones, which allow them to function as augmented reality platforms.
- Augmented reality systems have found applications in entrainment, navigation, assembly processes, maintenance, medical procedures.
- Portable augmented reality systems have also found applications in tourism and sightseeing where augmented reality is used to present information of real world objects and places objects being viewed.
- An immersive augmented reality experience is provided using a head-mounted display, typically in the form of goggles or a helmet.

- Acknowledgement of the above references herein is not to be inferred as meaning that these are in any way relevant to the patentability of the presently disclosed subject matter.
- Augmented reality is a term for a live, direct or an indirect, view of a physical, real-world environment whose elements are augmented by computer-generated information such as text, sound, video, graphics or GPS data. Artificial information about the environment and its objects is thus overlaid on a real world view or image. Augmentation is typically in real-time and in semantic context with environmental elements so that information about the surrounding real world of the user becomes interactive and digitally manipulatable.
- The main hardware components for augmented reality are a processor, display, sensors and input devices. These elements, specifically a CPU, display, camera and MEMS sensors such as accelerometer, GPS, or solid state compass are present in portable device such as smartphones, which allow them to function as augmented reality platforms.
- Augmented reality systems have found applications in entrainment, navigation, assembly processes, maintenance, medical procedures. Portable augmented reality systems have also found applications in tourism and sightseeing where augmented reality is used to present information of real world objects and places objects being viewed.
- An immersive augmented reality experience is provided using a head-mounted display, typically in the form of goggles or a helmet. With a head-mounted display, virtual visual objects are superimposed on the user's view of a real world scene. The head mounted display is tracked with sensors that allow the system to align virtual information with the physical world. The tracking may be performed, for example, using any one or more of such technologies as digital cameras or other optical sensors, accelerometers, GPS, gyroscopes, solid state compasses, RFID and wireless sensors. Head-mounted displays are either optical see-through or video see-through. Optical see-through employs solutions such as half-silver mirrors to pass images through the lens and overlay information to be reflected into the user's eyes, and transparent LCD projectors that display the digital information and images directly or indirectly to the user retina.

- A user may interact with a visual image typically displayed through glasses. The user's view of reality is, thus, augmented by the information presented on the display. One issue with augmented reality devices is the manner in which the user interacts with and controls the device. Traditional control devices, e.g., a mouse, track ball, or touch screen, are difficult to use with augmented reality devices. Using gesture recognition in an augmented reality system is not trivial, because the user, and thus the augmented reality device, is constantly moving in real time.
- The invention thus provides a computer program product containing instructions for causing a processor to perform a method comprising:
- receiving, from an image sensor associated with an augmented reality
- device, image information associated with an environment;
- displaying, on a display associated with the device, augmented information related to the environment;
- recognizing, in the image information, a hand gesture by a user of the device;
- correlating the hand gesture with the augmented information; and
- altering the displayed augmented information based on the correlating.
- The augmented information may include at least one of information associated with objects in the environment; images associated with the environment; and distances associated with the environment.
- The correlating may include determining a reference location in three dimensional space of at least a portion of the user's hand, and determining in at least one of the augmented information and the image information data associated with the reference location.
- The altering may include changing the augmented information as a function of the data associated with the reference location.

FIG. 1 shows schematically asystem 30 for augmented reality in accordance with one embodiment of the invention. Thesystem 30 includes one ormore image sensors 32 configured to obtain images of a real world scene. Any type of image sensor may be used in the system of the invention such as a camera alight sensor, an IR sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, a proximity sensor, a CMOS image sensor, a shortwave infrared (SWIR) image sensor or a reflectivity sensor. - The

The real world objects may be, for example, a building or a billboard. Determination of the real world objects utilizes data provided by thestate sensors 38. The predefined object may be a user's finger or other object such as a stylus or wand. - When the
processor 36 has identified a real world object at which the predefined object is pointing, the processor searches in amemory 42 for data associated with the identified object. The data may be, for example, visual data, audio data, or textual data. The visual data may be textual information relating to the identified object. The processor then displays the associated visual data associated with the identified object on the display of the viewing device. Thememory 42 may be integral with thesystem 30 or may be remotely located and accessed over a communication network, such as the Internet. Thesystem 30 may thus comprise acommunication module 39 allowing thesystem 30 to communicate with a network, wireless network, cellular network, an external device such as anotherdevice 30, a mobile phone, tablet, or an Internet website and so on. - The data may be an activatable icon.

FIG. 5 shows asystem 40 for augmented reality in accordance with another embodiment of the invention. Thesystem 40 is integrated into amobile communication device 42 such as a mobile phone, tablet, or camera. A front view of thecommunication device 42 is shown inFIG. 5 a, and a rear view of thecommunication device 42 is shown inFIG. 5 b. Thecommunication device 42 is provided with animage sensors 46 on its rear surface, opposite to the display device, that obtains images of a real-world scene. Thecommunication device 42 is also provided with adisplay device 48 on its front surface that is positioned in front of a user when thecamera 46 is directed towards a real world scene. Thedisplay device 48 may be for example, a LCD screen that presents to the user images of a real world scene obtained by thecamera 6, together with visual data, as explained below. Thesystem 40 utilizes thecamera 46, thedisplay device 48, and the processor of thecommunication device 42, and further comprises one or more state sensors, contained within the housing of thecommunication device 42 which are not seen inFIG. 5 . The processor is configured to identify in images captured by the image sensors 46 a predefined object pointing at a real world object in the real world scene. -
FIG. 3 a shows thesystem 2 in use. Thegoggles 4 are placed over the eyes of auser 18. The user faces thereal world scene 8 and thus views thescene 8.FIG. 3 b shows thesystem 40 in use. Theuser 18 holds thecommunication device 42 with theimage sensors 46 facing thereal world scene 8 and thedisplay device 48 facing the user. - The
system scene 8 that the user would see when using thesystem FIG. 4 a shows the view of thescene 8 that the user would see when using thesystem real world scene 8. Theprocessor 36 analyzes images obtained by the image sensors to determine when a predefined object in images captured by the image sensors is performing a predefined gesture in relation to a real world object in thereal world scene 8. - The
viewing device 34, such as thegoggles 4 or thecommunication device 42 is often not stable in use, due to movement of the user as occurs during walking, or movement of the user's head or hand. In this situation, the signal generated by thesensors 38 may be noisy and inaccurate. In this case, themachine vision module 37 runs a tracking algorithm that tracks the identified real world object and maintains the displayed associated visual data in a fixed position relative to the identified real world object. - The predefined gesture relating to a real world object or to an activatable icon, may be, for example, pointing at the real world object or an activatable icon, or performing a swiping gesture over the real world object or an activatable icon. The activatable icon may or may not be correlated to a real world object.
- Other possible predefined gestures include a swiping motion, a pinching motion of two fingers such as with the fore finger and thumb or the middle finger and thumb, pointing, a left to right gesture, a right to left gesture, an upwards gesture, a downwards gesture, a pushing gesture, opening a clenched fist, opening a clenched first and moving towards the image sensor, a tapping gesture, a waving gesture, a clapping gesture, a reverse clapping gesture, closing a hand into a fist, a pinching gesture, a reverse pinching gesture, a gesture of splaying fingers on a hand, a reverse gesture of splaying fingers on a hand, pointing at an activatable icon, or at a real world object, pointing at an activatable icon or a real world object for a predefined amount of time, clicking on an activatable icon or real world object, double clicking on an activatable icon or real world object, clicking with a forefinger on an activatable icon or real world object, clicking with the middle finger on an activatable icon or real world object, clicking from the bottom on an activatable icon or real world object, clicking from the top on an activatable icon, grasping an activatable icon or real world object gesturing towards an activatable icon or real world object from the right, gesturing towards an activatable icon or real world object from the left, passing through an activatable icon or real world object from the left, pushing the activatable icon or real world object, clapping or waving over an activatable icon or real world object, performing a blast gesture, performing a tapping gesture, performing a clockwise or counter clockwise gesture over an activatable icon or real world object, sliding an activatable icon or real world object, grasping an activatable icon or real world object with two fingers, or performing a click-drag-release motion.
- The predefined object may be, for example, a user hand, a part of a user's hand, such as the user's
finger 20 or parts of two different hands. Alternatively, the predefined object may be a stylus or wand. - When the
processor 16 determines that a predefined gesture has been performed, this may be indicated to the user by any type of feedback, such as visual feedback, audio feedback, haptic feedback, directional vibration, air tactile feedback, or ultrasonic feedback. The feedback may be a visual indication in a form selected from an activatable icon displayed on a display device, a change in an activatable icon on a display device, a change in color of an activatable icon on a display device, a change in size of an activatable icon, animation of an activatable icon, an indication light, an indicator moving on a display device, a vibration, a directional vibration indication, an air tactile indication. The indication may be provided by an indicator moving on a display device that appears on top of all other images or video appearing on the display device. Visual feedback may be the appearance of a glow around the predefined object when a system recognizes the predefined object. - The
gesture detection module 40 may use any method for detecting the predefined objects in images obtained by theimage sensor 32. For example, the gesture detection module may detect the predefined object as disclosed in WO2005/091125 or WO 2010/086866. - The
processor 16 is further configured to determine the real world object in thescene 8 towards which the predefined gesture was performed. Thus, for example, in the image shown inFIG. 4 b, theprocessor 16 would determine that the user'sfinger 20 is pointing at thebillboard 14 by determining the fingertip location (X,Y) in the image and combining this information with the location of the user and the orientation of thegoggles 4 from thestate sensors 21. The real world object is thus indentified by the processor without presenting to the user a cursor or other marker to indicate the real world object that the user wishes to select, enabling a direct pointing on a real world object to start an interaction. Theprocessor 16 searches in a memory, which may be integral with theprocessor 16 or may be remotely located, for data relating to the real-world object to which the user'sfinger 20 is pointing. For example, the memory may have stored data relating to thebillboard 14. When the user points to an object in thescene 8 whose data is stored in the memory or is extracted from a remote server such as an Internet site, the data is displayed on thedisplay device 10 superimposed on the user's view of the scene. Thus, when the user points to the billboard 14 (FIG. 3 ),visual data 21 relating to thebillboard 14 is displayed on thedisplay device 10, as shown inFIG. 4 c. - The
visual data 21 may be static or animated. Thevisual data 21 may include one or more an activatable icons, such that when a predefined gesture is performed relative to one of the activatable icons, a command associated with the activatable icon is executed. The command may be, for example, to display specific visual material relating to the selected real world object. The activatable icons may be 2D or 3D activatable icons and may be presented to the user so that the user perceives the icon in front of him in a 3D space. As used herein, an activatable icon is a region in a 2D or 3D image or video associated with one or more messages activated by user interaction. The activatable icons may be, for example, a 2D or 3D visual element. The activatable icons may be virtual buttons, a virtual keyboard, a 2D or 3D activatable icon, a region in an image or a video. An activatable icon may consist of two or more activatable icons. - The processor may not present part of the activatable icon where the predefined object is located, so that the predefined object appears to be on top of the activatable icon. The activatable icons may be removed when the user rapidly moves his head and then returned when the head motion is below a predefined motion speed.
- The
system 2 may have two or more operational modes and theprocessor 16 may be configured to identify one or more predefined gestures to change between the operational modes. Thus, a gesture may be used to turn the system on or off, select the source of the visual material to be presented, select the level of details of the visual material to be presented, select the buttons or activatable icons to be presented to the user, or activate an online service, such as an online service related to a selected real world object. Yet another mode of operation may be to start video recording of images by the image sensor and/or recording of sounds by a microphone upon identification of a predefined gesture and to stop recording upon identification of another predefined gesture. Yet another mode of operation is continuously monitoring video and/or sound, but following a detection of a predefined gesture, the video/sound is recorded starting from a predetermined amount of time prior to identification of the gesture, and stopping the recording after identification of another predefined gesture. The predetermined time may be defined by the user. Yet another mode of operation is adding tags in a captured and real-time recorded video upon identification of a predefined gesture. - Yet another mode of operation is shown in
FIG. 6 . InFIG. 6 a, anarea 62 in the field ofview 60 as captured by the image sensor is designated by the user performing a gesture of “drawing” the contour of the area, shown by phantom lines inFIG. 6 . The selected area is then resized by the user performing a second gesture, such as separating two fingers or bringing two fingers closer together as indicated by thearrows 66 inFIG. 6 b, until the selected area attains the desired size (67 inFIG. 6 c). Thearea 67 is then dragged to a new location in the field of view (FIG. 6 d) and copied in the new location in the field of view. The system then employs a tracker on the selected area and the selected area is presented in real-time in the resized and relocated area set by the user on the display device. - In order to minimize CPU resources, for each displayed activatable icon, a region of images containing a displayed activatable icon bounding box around a displayed activatable icon may be defined that remains fixed. The system employs a machine vision tracker to track this bounding box. The distance between the locations of the bounding boxes in two frames of a video sequence is less than a predefined distance, as determined using a video tracker, and the correlation value of the tracker of the bounding box is below a predefined value.
- When the system is in an operational mode in which only activatable icons may be activated, and real world objects cannot be activated, CPU can be minimized by searching for the predefined object only in the vicinity of each displayed activatable icon. In order to reduce CPU even further, the objection recognition module is not activated all the time but only when the headset is not moving significantly as determined from information obtained by a state sensors.
- A user may choose different filters to screen data correlated with real-world objects, such as a filter “display data generated only by friends”, or display data from registered sources, or data generated in the last three months.
- The
system 2 may have a stand-by mode in which the power consumption by thesystem 2 is minimal. The active mode may be different from the stand-by mode, for example, in the number of video frames per second that are being analyzed by the system, the resolution of images that are being analyzed, the portion of the image frame that is being analyzed, and/or the detection modules that are activated. Thesystem 2 can be brought to the active mode by any technique. For example, thesystem 2 may be brought to the active mode by bringing the predefined object into the field of view from below, when user place the predefined object in certain location or posse, such as pointing on the bottom right corner of the camera field of view or open his hand in the camera field of view, perform a predefined gesture such as moving the hand from right to left across the field of view, when an activatable icon is displayed and the user performs a predefined gesture correlate to the activatable icon such as pointing on the activatable icon, or perform a waving gesture in the location where the activatable icon is presented, or sliding the floating activatable icon from one location to the other by perform a gesture in the 3D space where the activatable icon is perceived to be located, by touching the device, or tapping on the device if the device is provided with an accelerometer. As yet another example, the system may enter the active mode when the user passes a hand near the device if the device is provided with a proximity sensor, or ultrasonic sensor. The system may also be activated by a voice command, or when the user places the predefined object in a particular location in the field of view. As yet another example, the system may enter the active mode only when there is relevant data associated with the real world in the field of view of the user. When the system may indicate to the user when there is a relevant data to be presented, or when it is ready for interaction. - A visual indication may be attached to a real-world object to let the user know that there is data correlated with the real-world object.
- Indication of relevant data may be overlaid on the location of the real-world object as a small visual indication such as an activatable icon of “i” may indicate information, and a logo of “photos” may indicate images related to the real-world object, or a logo of “envelop” indicates a message that was left by a friend or other user correlated to the real-world object. When the user performs a predefined gesture correlated to the activatable icon, the data may be presented.
- The
system 2 may be configured to undergo a calibration process to record various physical parameters of the predefined object so as to facilitate identification of the predefined object in images obtained by the camera by theprocessor 2. This may be done, for example, by presenting to the user on the display activatable icons in different locations in the 3D space, and extracting physical features of the predefined object such as its size or orientation of the predefined object, and determining a correlation between the dimensions of the predefined object and its distance from the camera. The calibration may involve calculating the triangular of camera, the user's line of sight and the tip of the predefined object to determine the user is pointing at. The accuracy is improved by estimating the distance of the real world object from the camera based on information extracted in the calibration. - The processor may be configured to identify in images obtained by the camera of the real world scene by another user of the system of the invention. The identification of another user in the real world scene may be performed, for example, by informing a remote server of the locations of the devices in a particular geographical area. The locations of the other devices can be sent to all of the devices in the geographical area.
- When a communication link exists between two systems of the invention, the two systems may be used for game playing. The other user may be represented to as an avatar with whom the user can interact by gestures such as send a message to the other user such as “like”.
- The processor may be configured to display a keyboard that enables text typing with one or more fingers or hands. Display of the keyboard may be initiated upon detection of a predefined gesture such as a gesture from right to left, or by the using presenting an open hand, or two open hands in a predefined region of the field of view of the camera, such as the bottom part of the field of view. Yet another way to initiate the display of the keyboard is when the user performs a click gesture in the 3D space where the typing area or an activatable icon is perceived to be located. The keyboard may be used, for example, in order to, write a note, conduct a search or to communicate with online services (such as Skype or twitter) by typing on virtual keyboard. The system may not present part of the keyboard where the predefined object is located, so that the predefined object appears to be on top of the keyboard to create the illusion that the predefined object such as a user's hand appears to be “over” the keyboard.
- When the system is in a typing mode, an animated hand may be presented on the keyboard whose position is correlated with the user's hands and fingers. The fingertips of the animated hands may be located above a virtual keystroke at the location where the character of the keystroke is seen. The keyboard and the animated hands are preferably opaque, so that the user is unable see the background behind the keyboard. This tends to make the keyboard clearer to the user.
