Nvidia patents AR method that places virtual objects using predicted poses

This filing describes a way to create 3D virtual objects for augmented reality displays without needing direct control over the device's graphics engine. The system uses predicted head positions to build the object data, which is then sent to the device to be displayed at the actual current position.

Why it mattersIt offers a simpler way for developers to add virtual items to real-world views, potentially making AR apps easier to build for different hardware.

In the filing’s own words

A mesh that includes a virtual object to be rendered for display by a client device is generated by execution of software that lacks access to a rendering pipeline of the client device and based at least in part on a first pose generated by a client device. The mesh is caused to be rendered according to a second pose by providing the mesh and color data to the rendering pipeline via an application programming interface call.

What exactly they claim (claim 1)

1. One or more processors, comprising circuitry to: receive, via an incoming application interface (API) call, one or more predicted poses and a coordinate system used by an augmented reality (AR) client device; generate, by one or more software programs and based at least in part on the one or more predicted poses and the coordinate system, image data and a mesh of one or more virtual objects to be rendered to a display of the AR client device; and cause the mesh to be rendered according to an actual pose by providing the mesh via an outgoing API call to the AR client device without accessing a rendering pipeline of the AR device.
