    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program, method, and user interface to facilitate augmented reality based communication between multiple users over a network. Session configuration data including configuration parameters of a virtual interaction session with a first user is received from a first device. The configuration parameters include an identifier of a second user that is permitted to join the virtual interaction session and a micro-chat duration that defines a time limit for a real-time communication link between the first and second user during the virtual interaction session. The real-time communication link between the first and second user by causing display, by the second device, of a live camera feed generated at the first device. Upon expiration of the micro-chat duration, the real-time communication link between the first and second user is terminated.

    Abstract: A system including image capture eyewear, a processor, and a memory. The image capture eyewear includes a support structure, a selector connected to the support structure, a display system (e.g., LEDs or a display) connected to the support structure to distinctly display assignable recipient markers, and a camera connected to the support structure to capture an image of a scene. The processor executes programming in the memory to assign recipients to the assignable recipient markers, receive a captured image of the scene, receive an indicator associated with the assignable recipient markers distinctly displayed at the time the image of the scene was captured, and transmit the captured image to the recipient assigned to the distinctly displayed assignable recipient markers.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer readable media directed to multi-user visual experiences such as interactive gaming experiences and artistic media experiences. A viewing electronic device includes a camera configured to capture images, a display, and a processor coupled to the camera and the display. The processor is configured to capture, with the camera, images of a rotating marker where the rotating marker is presented on a monitor of a remote device and to present, on the display, a visual experience where the visual experience has an adjustable feature. The processor detects a parameter of the rotating marker from the captured images that corresponds to the adjustable feature and updates the visual experience responsive to the detected parameter. The parameter may be one or more of an angle, speed of rotation, direction of rotation, color, or pattern of the rotating marker.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, devices, computer readable media, and other various embodiments are described for location management processes in wearable electronic devices. One embodiment involves pairing a client device with a wearable device, capturing a first client location fix at a first time using the first application and location circuitry of the client device. The client device then receives content from the wearable device, where the content is associated with a content capture time and location state data. The client device then updates a location based on the available data to reconcile the different sets of location data. In some embodiments, additional sensor data, such as data from an accelerometer, is used is used to determine which location data is more accurate for certain content.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, devices, computer readable media, and other various embodiments are described for location management processes in wearable electronic devices. Performance of such devices is improved with reduced time to first fix of location operations in conjunction with low-power operations. In one embodiment, low-power circuitry manages high-speed circuitry and location circuitry to provide location assistance data from the high-speed circuitry to the low-power circuitry automatically on initiation of location fix operations as the high-speed circuitry and location circuitry are booted from low-power states. In some embodiments, the high-speed circuitry is returned to a low-power state prior to completion of a location fix and after capture of content associated with initiation of the location fix. In some embodiments, high-speed circuitry is booted after completion of a location fix to update location data associated with content.

    Abstract: A user context profile is generated based on first context information gathered from at least one device of a first user. The user context profile defines a context to hold message delivery to a first user. The user context profile is enabled for message delivery to the first user. A message is received from a second user directed to the first user. In response to detecting the context defined by the user context profile based on second context information, the message is held for later delivery to the first user and a notification is provided to the second user indicating that the message has not been delivered. Subsequently, based on determining a current context of the first user does not correspond to the context defined by the user context profile, the message is delivered to the at least one device of the first user.

    Abstract: Augmented reality (AR) systems, devices, media, and methods are described for generating AR experiences including interactions with virtual or physical prop objects. The AR experiences are generated by capturing images of a scene with a camera system, identifying an object receiving surface and corresponding surface coordinates within the scene, identifying an AR primary object and a prop object (physical or virtual), establishing a logical connection between the AR primary object and the prop object, generating AR overlays including actions associated with the AR primary object responsive to commands received via a user input system that position the AR primary object adjacent the object receiving surface responsive to the primary object coordinates and the surface coordinates within the scene and that position the AR primary object and the prop object with respect to one another in accordance with the logical connection, and presenting the generated AR overlays with a display system.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for providing scan based imaging using an electronic eyewear device. The methods include scanning a scene using the electronic eyewear device to capture at least one image in an environment of a first user and identifying at least one physical marker in the scanned scene. Upon identification of the at least one physical marker in the scanned scene, a message (e.g., preselected AR content) is passively sent to at least one of directly to a second user or to at least one physical marker at a remote location for presentation to the second user. The message may be sent without use of the first user's hands to make a selection. The physical markers may be associated with a fixed object, a human face, a pet, a vehicle, a person, a logo, and the like.

    Abstract: The technical problem of optimizing power consumption of paired user devices is addressed by disabling and resuming short range wireless communication components of the paired user devices. The disabling and resuming of the short range wireless communication components may be determined based on a comparison of a distance between the paired user devices and a threshold distance. The threshold distance may be adjusted by a machine learning model according to user profiles associated with the paired user devices. The distance between the paired user devices may be determined based on location data of the paired user devices. The location data may be obtained by global positioning systems (GPS) mounted on the paired user devices. The location data may be communicated between the paired user devices via a messaging server.
