    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer readable media for object counting on augmented reality (AR) wearable devices are disclosed. Embodiments are disclosed that enable display of a count of objects as part of a user view. Upon receipt of a request to count objects, the AR wearable device captures an image of the user view. The AR wearable device transmits the image to a backend for processing to determine the objects in the image. The AR wearable device selects a group of objects of the determined objects to count and overlays boundary boxes over counted objects within the user view. The position of the boundary boxes is adjusted to account for movement of the AR wearable device. A hierarchy of objects is used to group together objects that are related but have different labels or names.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer readable media for auto-recovery of an augmented reality (AR) wearable device are disclosed. A pass-through application is invoked as a background process and an application is invoked as a foreground process. The pass-through application includes an on-resume procedure that is called if the operating system or interpreter determines that the foreground process is unresponsive. The on-resume procedure restarts the application as the foreground process and may first reboot the AR wearable device. The pass-through application remains transparent to the user by not displaying output on the display of the AR wearable device. Additionally, an uncaught exception handler is registered with the operating system to be called in the event that an exception occurs that does not have a handler. The exception handler restarts the application as the foreground process and may first reboot the AR wearable device.

    Abstract: A mixed-reality media content system may be configured to perform operations that include: causing display of image data at a client device, the image data comprising a depiction of an object that includes a graphical code at a position upon the object; detecting the graphical code at the position upon the depiction of the object based on the image data; accessing media content within a media repository based on the graphical code scanned by the client device; and causing display of a presentation of the media content at the position of the graphical code upon the depiction of the object at the client device.

    Abstract: An augmented reality (AR) plant content system is provided. The AR plant content system may detect an object in a real world scene that corresponds to a plant. The AR plant content system may generate care instructions for the plant that include AR graphics that are displayed as overlays of the real world scene. The AR plant content system may also track the motion of objects in the real world scene to determine that plant care events have taken place, such as watering the plant or pruning the plant. A plant inventory may be produced that includes care instructions and a log of plant care events for plants that correspond to one or more users.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer readable media for graphical assistance with tasks using an augmented reality (AR) wearable devices are disclosed. Embodiments capture an image of a first user view of a real-world scene and access indications of surfaces and locations of the surfaces detected in the image. The AR wearable device displays indications of the surfaces on a display of the AR wearable device where the locations of the indications are based on the locations of the surfaces and a second user view of the real-world scene. The locations of the surfaces are indicated with 3D world coordinates. The user views are determined based on a location of the user. The AR wearable device enables a user to add graphics to the surfaces and select tasks to perform. Tools such as a bubble level or a measuring tool are available for the user to utilize to perform the task.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer readable media for voice-controlled user interfaces (UIs) for augmented reality (AR) wearable devices are disclosed. Embodiments are disclosed that enable a user to interact with the AR wearable device without using physical user interface devices. An application has a non-voice-controlled UI mode and a voice-controlled UI mode. The user selects the mode of the UI. The application running on the AR wearable device displays UI elements on a display of the AR wearable device. The UI elements have types. Predetermined actions are associated with each of the UI element types. The predetermined actions are displayed with other information and used by the user to invoke the corresponding UI element.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer readable media that schedules requests for location data of a mobile device, where the methods include selecting a first positioning system based on a power requirement, a latency requirement, and an accuracy requirement, and determining whether a first condition is satisfied for querying the first positioning system. The method further comprises in response to a determination that the first condition is satisfied, querying the first positioning system for first position data. The method further comprises in response to a determination that the first condition is not satisfied, selecting a second positioning system based on the power requirement, the latency requirement, and the accuracy requirement, determining whether a second condition is satisfied for querying the second positioning system, and in response to a determination that the second condition is satisfied, querying the second positioning system for second position data.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer readable media for enhanced augmented reality (AR) reading are provided, where the methods include entering a reading mode, capturing an image of a section of reading materials such as a page of a book, identifying a code within the image, and identifying a code module corresponding to the code. The methods further include executing the code module, the code module providing an augmented reality object or virtual reality object related to an object depicted on the section or page, entering a sleep mode for a sleep duration based on an estimated reading time duration of a section or page, awaking after the sleep duration, and capturing a next image. The sleep duration is adjusted based on times when identifiers of the sections of the reading materials such as numbers are captured. The user may manually wake the AR reading device using an external user interface.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer readable media that determine a location of a device using multi-source geolocation data, where the methods include accessing new location data from a location source of a plurality of location sources, where the new location data includes a new position and an accuracy of the new position, and determining a current position and an accuracy of the current position based on the new position, the accuracy of the new position, an previous current position, and an accuracy of the previous current position. The method further includes determining a change in location based on a difference between the current position and the previous current position. Some systems, methods, and computer readable media are directed to scheduling location requests to generate location data where the scheduling and the actual requests are made based on a number of conditions.
