Augmented Reality Collaboration Patent

We are pleased to announce that Zugara has been awarded a patent for Augmented Reality Collaboration. Earlier today, the USTPO issued patent #10,200,654 for Systems and Methods for Real Time Manipulation and Interaction With Multiple Dynamic and Synchronized Video Streams in An Augmented Or Multi-Dimensional Space. This patent is related to the method of sharing, collaborating and interacting with virtual objects through a synchronized chat or video conference experience.

“This patent outlines the technology and vision Zugara has had over the last 11 years in Augmented Reality development. When we first started in AR, we wanted to develop transformative AR technology that could evolve a solitary AR experience into a more collaborative and interactive experience” said Matthew Szymczyk, CEO of Zugara. “As technologies such as Skype, FaceTime and WebEx have made videoconferencing an everyday collaboration tool for businesses and consumers alike, this patented technology is the next evolution for how connected AR experiences become more social, interactive and collaborative.”

A few of the claims outlined in the ‘654 patent are related to:

  • Initiating a video chat or conference though an audio device, depth sensing camera, laser-based equipment, or a wave emitter and/or transmitter
  • Connecting multiple video chat or conference participants and multiplexing an augmented video stream within the connected chat or conference
  • Synchronizing virtual objects in a multiplexed video stream which allows participants to interact with the virtual objects
  • Synchronizing the interactions with the virtual objects between participants
  • Participants can interact with the synchronized virtual objects using gestures, voice commands or through tracked eye movement

Zugara had previously created conceptual videos showing how this patent relates to the future of different collaborative augmented reality experiences. You can view a conceptual video for Augmented Reality video conferencing and interactive collaboration related to this patent below.
