Overview

The patented technology relates to augmented reality (AR) applications, specifically systems and methods that allow property owners to register, manage, and control the rights to host or associate virtual objects over real and personal property in an augmented reality environment.

The invention enables private, commercial, and governmental property owners to establish enforceable AR hosting rights tied to legally owned physical locations. It provides a server-based AR registration system with user accounts, verification, property validation, and 2D/3D geospatial mapping to define and manage virtual object placement across multi-dimensional real estate, including buildings, structures, and air rights.

Key aspects include:
• registration and verification of AR hosting rights by property owners
• centralized AR registration and management platform
• support for multi-dimensional (3D) real property and structures
• geospatial mapping using satellite and coordinate-based data
• leasing or renting of AR hosting rights to third parties
• domain-style management of virtual object hosting and association rights

This technology is relevant to companies operating in augmented reality platforms, metaverse infrastructure, real estate technology, location-based advertising, mapping services, gaming, smart cities, and digital property rights management.
