Google has recently obtained a patent in India for its technology
to create virtual graffiti in a mobile virtual and augmented reality (AR)
system, something that would help users leave a message for them or their
friends at a location in the future.
The American Multinational Technology Company, specializing in
Internet-related services and products, said in its Patent Application that the
virtual graffiti would aid the user to leave a message for the second user at a
specific location. The company provided an example that if a person wishes to
give a message suggesting his or her known ones to try a particular dish at a
restaurant, then the message can be virtually written on the door of the
restaurant, and left for the second user to view. When the second user visits
the restaurant, he/ she will get an indication that the place is available with
virtual graffiti. Ultimately, the message left on the door of the restaurant
will appear to him/her when viewed with the AR system.
It further claimed that if a user with an enabled device wants to
send a virtual graffiti to other users as a part of the AR scene, he or she
needs to create the graffiti, associate it with a location, and provide a list
of users who are allowed to view it. The device will transmit the provided
information to the server, which is scheduled to periodically monitor the
location of the devices of users on the list. When any device comes near the
location, it will notify the user through an alert. However, virtual graffiti
will be available only to those who are allowed to view it, by the individual
who created the virtual graffiti.
the application for Patent Registration for
a ‘Method and Apparatus to create graffiti in mobile virtual and augmented
reality system’ was originally filed in June 2011 by Motorola Mobility Inc. It
later changed to Google Technology Holding LLC through an application in 2016.
According to reports, Google acquired Motorola in 2012 and later sold it to
Lenovo in 2014.
With this patent grant, it seems that Google is nurturing its AR
field. Reports showed that the company has been nourishing its AR research
through the AR platform by making tools available to AR developers for creating
AR experiences. Besides, Google Creative Lab possesses a few AR-based apps like
Just a Line – Draw Anywhere with AR, an AR system that allows users to make
drawings in AR and share them with a short video.For
