    Abstract: A system for connecting users to a same instance of a persistent augmented reality environment is provided. The system (10) comprises: a server (20) managing the persistent AR environment; and a first and second device (31, 32) connected to the server (20) and configured for displaying different instances of the persistent AR environment, each device (31, 32) being configured to transmit to the server (20) data indicating a position of the device and angular orientation of a front, top, camera or antenna of the device; wherein the server (20) is configured to detect whether a front, top, camera or antenna of the first and second device (31, 32) are oriented towards each other and if so, to sync the persistent AR environments of the first and second device (31, 32) with each other to connect to a same instance of the persistent AR environment. A method for connecting users to a persistent augmented reality environment, a server comprising circuitry configured to carry out the method and a computer program product adapted to carry out the method are also provided.

    Abstract: A computer implemented method for displaying details of a texture of a three-dimensional, 3D, object, wherein the texture comprises a periodic pattern, is provided. The method comprises, while zooming in on the 3D object: determining a portion of the 3D object, wherein the determined portion of the 3D object corresponds to a zoom level; displaying the determined portion of the 3D object including a corresponding portion of the texture. The method further comprises, upon the zoom level reaching a zoom-in threshold, executing a 3D to 2D transition comprising: identifying a two-dimensional, 2D, image representing the texture of the currently displayed portion of the 3D object from a set of 2D images, each 2D image of the set of 2D images representing the texture of the 3D object at a specific of portion of the 3D object, wherein at least one 2D image of the set of 2D images represents the texture of the 3D object at a plurality of portions of the 3D object; wherein a resolution of the 2D image is higher than a resolution of the texture of the portion of the 3D object at the zoom-in threshold.

    Abstract: In general terms, this disclosure is directed to methods and systems for presenting a virtual price tag. One aspect is A method for presenting virtual price tags, the method comprising identifying a product visible in a scene, retrieving price data for the product, identifying visible surfaces of the product from a current view of the scene, determining a predetermined point on one of the visible surfaces based on the current view of the scene, and generating, on a display of a computing device, a virtual price tag attached to an image of the product at the predetermined point, the virtual price tag displaying the price data for the product.

    Abstract: A computerized method comprising acquiring an image of a physical environment comprising one or more physical entities, generating a virtual view based on the acquired image, and displaying the virtual view overlaid on the acquired image. The method further comprises receiving user input being indicative of a placement location within the virtual view, and receiving user input for creating a virtual bounding volume within the virtual view. The method further comprises manipulating the virtual bounding volume based on one or more intersections in 3D space between the virtual bounding volume and 3D data corresponding to the one or more physical entities, displaying the manipulated virtual bounding volume, and displaying at least one 3D object model that fits the manipulated virtual bounding volume.
