USING AUGMENTED REALITY MARKERS FOR LOCAL POSITIONING IN A COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT

Abstract:

Techniques for providing indirect local geo-positioning using AR markers are disclosed. A first movable AR marker can be located or found by a computing device. A location of the first movable AR marker can be known and shared with the computing device. The location of the first movable AR marker can be based on distance between the first movable AR marker and a fixed AR marker. A distance to the first movable AR marker can be determined. Based on the known location of the first movable AR marker and the distance to the first movable AR marker from the computing device, an estimate of the location of the computing device can be determined without having line-of-sight (LOS) to the fixed AR marker.
