LIVE LECTURE AUGMENTATION WITH AN AUGMENTED REALITY OVERLAY

Abstract:

Systems and methods are described that are directed to an augmented reality (AR) overlay that augments traditional lecture content items with corresponding augmented content, thereby facilitating a user's learning process. For example, a live multimedia lecture is captured and recognized by a client device, and corresponding augmented content are retrieved and displayed in relation to a video recording of the video lecture content as an augmented reality AR overlay. A plurality of user customizable hands gesture commands are also implemented, which enable a user to interact with the video lecture content and any supplement content by entering a hand gesture. A user customizable hands gesture command correlates a pre-defined and recognized hand gesture to the automatic execution of a particular series of actions performed by the command, such as automatically recording a snippet of the video lecture content, or automatically capturing a user-defined note.
