    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer readable media for remote annotations, drawings, and navigation instructions sent to an augmented reality (AR) wearable device from a computing device are disclosed. The AR wearable device captures images and sends them to the remote computing device to provide a real-time view of what the user of the AR wearable device sees. A user of the remote computing device can add navigation instructions and can select an image to annotate or draw on. The AR wearable device provides 3-dimensional (3D) coordinate information within a 3D world of the AR wearable device for the selected image. The user of the remote computing device then annotates or draws on the selected image. The remote computing device determines 3D coordinates for the annotations and drawings within the 3D world of the AR wearable device. The annotations and drawings are sent to the AR wearable device with associated 3D coordinates.

    Abstract: A case for a portable device like a smartphone includes light sources such as LEDs, which, when illuminated, can be detected and tracked by a head-worn augmented or virtual reality device. The light sources may be located at the corners of the case and may emit infrared light. A relative pose between the smartphone and the head-worn device can be determined based on computer vision techniques performed on images captured by the head-worn device that includes light from the light sources. Relative movement between the smartphone and the head-worn device can be used to provide user input to the head-worn device, as can touch input on the portable device. In some instances, the case is powered inductively from the portable device.

    Abstract: A communication link is established between a first mobile device and a second mobile device using communication setup information in a machine-readable code that is displayed on a display of the second mobile device. The first mobile device captures and decodes an image of the machine-readable code to extract dynamically-generated communication setup information. A communication link is then established between the two devices using the communication setup information. The machine readable code may also be used as a fiducial marker to establish an initial relative pose between the two devices. Pose updates received from the second mobile device can then be used as user-interface inputs to the first mobile device.
