The Future of Social AR

Recognition-Driven Annotation Retrieval

HoloVu’s issued patents protect a system in which multiple sensors—such as cameras, microphones, mobile devices, and smart glasses—capture the same face, object, body, printed or digital text, voice, or musical segment. A recognition engine generates a unique identifier for the captured content, allowing the system to retrieve annotations linked to that identifier from a shared database.

This forms a powerful, protected method for enabling community knowledge sharing across visual and audio environments.

Our patents safeguard the ability for multiple users across different locations and devices to:

• detect the same real-world content
   
• generate a shared identifier
   
• retrieve annotations associated with that content
   
• view contributions from others in real time
   

This architecture allows HoloVu to support synchronized insights that travel with the user across platforms.

The patents cover the retrieval and presentation of:

• Text annotations
   
• Image annotations
   
• Audio annotations
   
• Video annotations
   

This multi-modal flexibility makes HoloVu applicable across countless scenarios—from product exploration and education to media engagement and social collaboration.

Our patents apply to systems that recognize and annotate:

• Faces
   
• Bodies
   
• Objects
   
• Printed or digital text (OCR)
   
• Voices (biometric voice recognition)
   
• Music and musical segments
   

This gives HoloVu broad technical coverage across the primary forms of real-world content.

Although our patents are technology-specific rather than industry-specific, the capabilities they protect support a wide range of real-world applications. Because the system enables recognition-based identification and annotation retrieval across devices, it forms the backbone for numerous cross-industry use cases.

• Students can access explanations, definitions, or peer-created notes simply by pointing at textbooks, diagrams, or digital content.
   
• Educators can share annotations that automatically appear when learners view the same material.
   

• Viewers can receive insights or community commentary when watching a video, show, or live sporting event.
   
• Fans can see shared moments or highlights triggered by recognized scenes or music clips.
   

• Shoppers can point at products and instantly access reviews, usage tips, or community feedback tied to recognized labels, packaging, or barcodes.
   

• Workers can look at tools, machinery, or components and retrieve annotations left by supervisors or previous technicians.
   
• Shared notes improve maintenance, troubleshooting, and onboarding.
   

• Users with visual or auditory impairments can benefit from context-based supplemental information created by others who have viewed or heard the same content.
   

• Friends, communities, or crowds can annotate faces, objects, or scenes, creating shared layers of meaning that appear automatically when others encounter the same content.
   

• Users viewing the same part of a digital textbook, web page, training interface, or streaming video can instantly access annotations or insights left by others.

  Telecom Security & Fraud Protection 

•  Users are protected against scammers through vocal biometrics rather than easily spoofed phone numbers. When a user flags a suspicious voice, the system tags the audio signature, automatically alerting the entire community if that same voice attacks again from a different line. 

These applications illustrate the breadth of use cases enabled by our patented architecture—a scalable system for real-time, cross-device knowledge sharing.
