The xR registry may also be used to prevent uses such as people from playing or viewing distracting games or entertainment while driving or advertisement of certain products at certain times and locations (such as at a railroad crossing or near schools).
An xR registry may also be used to facilitate the operation of the internet of things (IoT). For example, the registry may include AR schematics for IoT enabled devices or other household appliances. These may allow you to interact with the device for control, modification, or purchase of related goods and services. The registry may also facilitate the ability to auto-detect objects and present xR applications accordingly.
The registry may enable guided repair experiences for some objects, or menus for accessing more information about objects. The registry may include information to facilitate auto-identifying parts based on artificial intelligence (AI) image recognition or other identifying data.
In some examples, an xR registry may be used to prevent “rogue”, malicious, or unwanted applications. For example, applications may be registered and authorized prior to use. This may ensure that people don't create fraudulent or misleading applications. For example, applications may be registered using a blockchain, or other immutable database. Information that may be verifiable via the registry include xR experiences and objects related to user manuals and instructions.
