    Abstract: Systems, devices, media, and methods are presented for playing audio sounds, such as music, on a portable electronic device using a digital color image of a note matrix on a map. A computer vision engine, in an example implementation, includes a mapping module, a color detection module, and a music playback module. The camera captures a color image of the map, including a marker and a note matrix. Based on the color image, the computer vision engine detects a token color value associated with each field. Each token color value is associated with a sound sample from a specific musical instrument. A global state map is stored in memory, including the token color value and location of each field in the note matrix. The music playback module, for each column, in order, plays the notes associated with one or more the rows, using the corresponding sound sample, according to the global state map.

    Abstract: Augmented reality experiences with an eyewear device including a position detection system and a display system are provided. The eyewear device allows setting a predefined distance target or distance targets. The eyewear device monitors the distance between the eyewear device and one or more other persons using the position detection system of the eyewear device. The eyewear device generates an alert if one or more of the other persons is within the one or more predefined distance targets.

    Abstract: Systems, devices, media, and methods are presented for an immersive augmented reality (AR) experience using an eyewear device with spatial audio. The eyewear device has a processor, a memory, an image sensor, and speakers. The eyewear device captures image information for an environment surrounding the device, identifies a match between objects in the image information and predetermined objects in previously obtained information for the same environment. The eyewear device then identifies a target location within the environment, which may be associated with a physical or a virtual object. The eyewear device monitors its orientation with respect to the target location and presents audio signals to guide the user toward the target location.

    Abstract: Interactive augmented reality experiences with an eyewear device including a virtual eyewear beam. The user can direct the virtual beam by orienting the eyewear device or the user's eye gaze or both. The eyewear device may detect the direction of an opponent's eyewear device or eye gaze of both. The eyewear device may calculate a score based on hits of the virtual beam of the user and the opponent on respective target areas such as the other player's head or face.

    Abstract: A server machine modifies an augmented reality (AR) object in response to fulfillment of a condition. The machine provides, to a user device, object data that defines the AR object. The object data specifies a physical geolocation of the AR object, a presentation attribute of the AR object, a conditional modification program, and a trigger condition for execution of the conditional modification program. The object data causes the user device to present the AR object with a first appearance, located at the physical geolocation. The machine detects fulfillment of the trigger condition, and in response, the machine executes the conditional modification program. This modifies the object data by modifying the presentation attribute. The machine provides, to the user device, the modified object data, which causes the user device to present the AR object with a second appearance based on the modified presentation attribute.
