RIDER-DRIVER LOCALIZATION FOR DETERMINING PLACEMENT OF AR CONTENT FOR PASSENGER

Abstract:

Systems and methods are disclosed herein for determining placement of Augmented Reality (AR) content. In some embodiments, a processor detects input at a first client device of a first user that a transportation session between the first user and a second user has begun. In response to detecting the input, the processor determines a first location of the first client device based on an image captured by the first client device, and determines a geospatial offset of a second client device of the second user from the first client device. The processor determines a second location of the second client device based on the first location of the first client device and the geospatial offset, and generates for display by the second client device AR content, the AR content being selected based on an orientation of the second client device and the second location.
