Patents & Intellectual Property Protection

HoloVu is built on issued and emerging intellectual property. Our technologies leverage a patented architecture for recognition-based annotation sharing and form the core of our smart-glasses platform. These patents protect our unique methods for identifying visual and auditory content across devices and delivering relevant, user-generated insights in real time. As we expand, our patent portfolio continues to evolve—widening our competitive moat and supporting long-term scalability of the HoloVu ecosystem.

What Our Issued Patents Cover

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.


 

Cross-Device and Cross-Location Annotation Synchronization


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.


 

Multi-Modal Annotation Types


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.


 

Recognized Content Categories


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.

Types of Annotations Covered in the Patents

Various forms of annotations are encompassed within the protections of HoloVu's issued patents. The primary or most commonly utilized annotation types include:


Text Annotation:


Text annotation is one of the most prevalent and versatile forms of annotation, adaptable across multiple devices. On smart glasses, annotations are often created through voice input, which is automatically converted into text. On smartphones or tablets, text annotations can be manually entered through typing, offering flexibility for diverse use cases.


Image Annotation:


Image annotation is particularly valuable for capturing and sharing unique visual perspectives. In this form, images are displayed as overlays on objects viewed through smart glasses, enhancing the visual context. These annotations can also include supplementary descriptive text to provide additional details or insights.


Video Annotation:


Video annotation serves as a powerful tool for capturing and sharing dynamic moments. This form is especially useful during events such as sports games, where viewers can record key moments from various locations or angles. The resulting annotated videos provide a rich, multi-perspective record of the event and can be shared to enhance collective experiences.


Voice Annotation:


Voice annotation is utilized in scenarios where the tone, emotion, or nuance of the speaker adds critical value to the annotation. This method is particularly effective for conveying context, intent, or emphasis that may not be fully captured through text. It also provides a convenient alternative for users who prefer non-text-based annotations due to time constraints, accessibility considerations, or personal preference.


These annotation types represent examples of the methods protected under HoloVu's patents, demonstrating the wide-ranging applications of its innovative technologies.

Applications Enabled by the Patented System

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.


Education & Learning


  • 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.
     

Media, Entertainment & Sports


  • 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.
     

Retail & Product Discovery


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

Workforce Training & Industrial Support


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

Accessibility


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

Social Interaction & Collaborative Knowledge


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

Digital Content Interaction


  • 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.
     

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

Why HoloVu’s IP Matters

HoloVu’s patents:


  • establish a defensible technological foundation
     
  • protect the core architecture behind our recognition-driven annotation ecosystem
     
  • enable scalable, synchronized, and collaborative insights
     
  • strengthen our position as smart-glasses and AR technology advance
     
  • provide a platform on which future innovations can grow
     

We are committed to expanding our patents portfolio to match our vision of a world where information is seamlessly recognized, understood, and shared.

Our Patents and the Future of Smart Glasses

 Smart glasses are rapidly becoming the next major shift in personal computing—and the winners in this new era will be those who control the intelligence layer that connects the physical world with digital understanding. HoloVu’s patents position us at the forefront of this transformation. By protecting the core mechanisms that allow glasses to recognize faces, objects, text, voices, and environments and instantly deliver shared insights, our intellectual property secures the foundation of what smart glasses are destined to become: context-aware companions that enhance perception itself. As wearable devices evolve from displays to intelligent interpreters of reality, HoloVu’s patented architecture becomes not just relevant, but essential. We are building the underlying connective tissue of future eyewear—technology that turns every glance, every sound, and every moment into an opportunity for understanding, collaboration, and augmented human capability. Our expanding patents portfolio ensures that as smart glasses rise to mainstream adoption, HoloVu stands at the center of the ecosystem, defining how information is perceived, shared, and experienced in the world ahead.
