About

TV Zeppelin Video Instant Messenger App Tech ID: UA22-043 Invention: This technology is a smartphone application that can send personal video messages to another person via augmented reality (AR). The video message is delivered via a virtual object acting as a messenger in the AR environment, much like a “singing telegram” delivers personal messages in real life. Background: Augmented reality (AR) is a technology that combines or imposes virtual objects with the real world. This is commonly accomplished by use of a headset or glasses that project contextual images onto the real world, or by displaying the image captured by a mobile device’s camera and imposing the virtual objects on the device’s display of the real world. AR is being explored for a variety of purposes, including office productivity, virtual events, construction and manufacturing, games, and social media. In the area of social media and messaging, AR technology is typically limited to placing stickers, filters, or animations on a picture or video. This technology, on the other hand, turns the idea on its head, making use of an AR object to deliver a personal video message, rather than merely having the message itself contain AR elements.
