Google patents method to steady virtual objects in AR using motion data

Google describes a technique for making augmented reality (AR) visuals appear stable by tracking the movement of a device. The system creates a digital map of the device's motion using built-in sensors and uses this map to adjust both the camera feed and the virtual objects. This helps keep digital items aligned with the real world even when the user moves.

Why it mattersThis could make AR experiences feel less shaky and more realistic for users wearing headsets or holding phones.

In the filing’s own words

A method including generating a mesh using inertial data, the mesh representing movement associated with a device in at least a portion of a real-world environment, generating stabilized image data based on image data and the mesh, and generating stabilized virtual data based on the stabilized image data.

What exactly they claim (claim 1)

1. A method comprising: generating a mesh using inertial data, the mesh representing movement associated with a device in at least a portion of a real-world environment; generating stabilized image data based on image data and the mesh; and generating stabilized virtual data based on the stabilized image data.
