In general, one of many real-time location services (RTLS) could be employed. Real-time location systems are based on wireless technologies, such as Wi-Fi, bluetooth, ultrawideband, Radio-frequency identification (RFID), and GPS. Further a compass for collecting direction may also be in a device.
The rendering device 115 may be a device used by consumer 105 that renders the xR experience 140. Rendered experiences 140 can include one or more of the following: capability, visual, audio, touch, smell and more.
At a basic level, rendering can occur where computer-generated (CG) information can be added to a human's visual field via a handheld device, glasses, contact lenses or some augmentation of the path of visual input. When CG information is added in this manner, all CG light is additive to natural light conditions. Alternatively, a capture device of some kind can capture the natural setting and associated light and process it with the added CG material to create a new synthesized view.
Examples of rendering devices 115 include phones, handsets, tablets, glasses, and contact lenses (which may contain the elements for display embedded into the lens including integrated circuitry, LEDs and an antenna for wireless communication). xR enabled contact lenses may allow the user to blink to control an interface for recording purposes. They may also be linked to a smartphone (e.g., secondary device 120) to review footage, and control the rendering device 115.
Other examples of a rendering devices 115 may include a HUD (e.g., in a vehicle or helmet), retina displays (i.e., including virtual retinal display images are scanned directly onto the retina of a viewer's eye), glasses, cameras, drones, and projection devices.
