Using AI-Powered Smart Glasses to View a Snap Mashie Story in AR/MR

Decades ago, computers were miniaturized to fit nicely on a desk in the form of a personal computer or PC and were priced so that many families around the world could afford to own one. Today, computers have been miniaturized to fit in one's hand in the form of an internet-connected phone or smartphone and are priced so that most people in developed nations and many people in developing nations can afford to own one. In the near future, computers will be further miniaturized to fit on one's body in the form of internet-connected glasses (i.e., inocles) or smart glasses and eventually priced so that nearly everyone on the planet will be able to own at least one pair. People will depend on one or more AI assistants (e.g., Ino, Alexa, Siri, or Google Assistant) residing within their fashionable inocles to efficiently communicate and collaborate with inocled friends, family members, and coworkers. In turn, the Ino AI social supermodel assistant and other AI assistants will get to know users on a personal level and thereby better assist or help them with all of their day-to-day activities at work, at home, or while on-the-go.

Moreover, since inocles may be operated hands free via voice commands (e.g., view a mashie, make a mashie, share a mashie, etc.) issued to one or more resident AI assistants, users view may view augmented reality (AR) or mixed reality (MR) objects embedded within their surrounding environment via the inocle display and simultaneously utilize their hands to manipulate and interact with these AR/MR objects. For example, a group of friends may make a snap mashie story and send it to other friends. One of the other friends may receive the story and view it using her favorite pair of inocles. Rather than view the story through her traditional inbox or social media feed, she may view the story directly in the living room of her home, whereby the story may unfold upon her living room floor as shown in the snap mashie story below.

Display Screen with Animated GUI for AR/MR Smart Glasses

Ornamental design for a display screen or portion thereof with an animated graphical user interface for use with AR/MR smart glass apps, snaps, and ads.

The rotating 3D cube shown above, as well as any adjacent cubes, may contain augmented or mixed reality applications (snap mashie app, supermodel mashie app, geo mashie app, ad mashie app, etc.), snaps (images, photos, videos, holograms, etc.) with or without overlay (text, graphics, filters, stickers, lenses, etc.), or advertisements (brand ads, direct response ads, swirl ads, etc.). These rotating or non-rotating cubes may be organized spatially or temporally by modern collaborative social experience applications to create, share, and tell compelling, engaging, and interactive stories in 3D AR/MR. Such 3D AR/MR stories are colloquially referred to as snap mashie stories, as illustrated in the previous section by the snap mashie story about space travel tourism.

Of equal importance, the innovative and patented design may be incorporated into AR/MR or VR operating systems in order to serve as a next-generation 3D home-screen dock for AR/MR smart glasses or VR headsets.
