Systems and methods for augmenting an appearance of an actual vehicle component with a virtual vehicle component

Abstract:

This disclosure relates to systems and methods for augmenting an appearance of an actual vehicle component of an actual vehicle with a virtual vehicle component. An actual vehicle component may be augmented with a virtual vehicle component by obtaining a vehicle type of the actual vehicle, detecting a landmark associated with the actual vehicle, determining a position and an orientation of the landmark, selecting a virtual vehicle component, placing the virtual vehicle component within an overlay image, where the position and the orientation of the virtual vehicle component is based on the position and the orientation of the landmark, and displaying the overlay image so that one or more portions of the virtual vehicle component appear to cover one or more portions of the actual vehicle component.
