AUGMENTED REALITY SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS RELATED THERETO

Smart overview of the Invention

An augmented reality social media platform integrates real-world defined areas with virtual subdivisions, allowing users to engage with and lease virtual spaces that correspond to these areas. Each virtual subdivision can be assigned to a user, potentially influenced by their affiliation with real-world organizations that control the corresponding physical space. The platform facilitates the reassignment of virtual leaseholds and reallocates real-world offerings to different virtual subdivisions, enhancing user interaction and engagement.

Implementation Across Devices

The platform operates over various computing devices connected via networks, such as the Internet. Users access the platform through centralized computer devices, which may include cloud resources. Users can interact with the platform through different means, including web-based applications or downloadable software from mobile operating systems. This flexibility allows for a broad range of user experiences across multiple devices.

User Interaction and Interface

Users can access and interact with the augmented reality social media platform through intuitive user interfaces that blend real-world elements with digital features. These interfaces support various interactions, including messaging, content sharing, and participation in events. Multiple users can engage simultaneously, fostering a community-like environment similar to traditional social media platforms.

Virtual Mapping of Real-World Areas

The platform defines real-world areas as discrete segments that can be virtually mapped. These areas can include land parcels, building floors, or other defined spaces. The mapping process organizes features and activities within these areas and may utilize various boundary definitions, such as legal or arbitrary borders. This virtual representation helps users navigate and interact within their respective environments effectively.

Multi-Layered User Experience

To enhance user navigation, the platform incorporates multi-layer visual display features that allow users to view and interact with multiple vertically positioned areas simultaneously. Users can select which layers to display based on their preferences or permissions, creating a customizable experience. This layered approach not only aids in organization but also enriches the interactive experience by providing diverse visual elements for each layer.
