ARaura's Portfolio
Our technology offers two main asset categories.
Intellectual Property
Rules Engine for Rendering AR
ARaura IP is based on utility patents that claim an invention for the rendering of augmented reality. Our 1st patent, which won a positive Patent Cooperation Treaty report, is now filed into Canada & the US and awaits the patent reader’s response. We have since submitted 2 additional provisional patents all aiming at protecting our core method of achieving safety and privacy for all in the spatial internet.
The invention is a rules engine that decides what to render or not render with every AR item in any AR enabled space. Each decision is based on a negotiation between 4 participant classes and their respective preferences: the viewer of the scene, the person, thing or location displaying the AR, the object or IP that is to be rendered and the space, spaces or groups it will render into.
