Abstract: Methods and systems for detecting and identifying one or more objects in the vicinity using radio frequency signals, excluding visible spectrum frequencies, (the “non-visible RF signals”) and displaying an AR image with an AR element associated with each of the one or more identified objects are disclosed. An exemplary method includes the steps of: detecting and registering one or more objects in the vicinity of a mobile device by non-visible RF signals; tracking the registered objects; rendering the AR elements associated with the registered objects; and displaying an AR image with the AR elements anchored to the associated objects in the visual scan area of the mobile device. This embodiment may further include a step of rendering a special kind of AR elements, called LARI AR elements, that includes a boundary and a cut-out area, and the associated AR effect rendered is limited to the area in the boundary but excluding the cut-out area.
