Transferring Graphic Objects Between Non-Augmented Reality and Augmented Reality Media Domains

Last updated:

Abstract:

A display of an augmented reality-enabled (AR) device, such as a mobile phone, can be used to transfer a graphical object between a secondary display, such as a computer monitor, that is captured by a camera of the AR device, and AR space, where the object is visible only through the AR interface of the AR device. A graphical object can be selected through the AR interface and, for example, moved around on a canvas of the secondary display by the user of the AR device. When the AR interface is used to move an enabled object near an edge of the canvas or physical boundary of the secondary display, the object as shown on the secondary display can be made to disappear from the secondary display to be replaced by a virtual object shown only on the AR interface in a similar location.
