Abstract: A computer implemented method for generating an augmented image includes the steps of detecting a user input representing a shape and a position of a spatially extended 2D object and of calculating 3D coordinates of a point of interest that is associated with the 2D object. This calculation comprises the steps of calculating a 3D centroid of a first 3D object that is derived from the 2D object, and/or of performing a 2D pattern recognition algorithm that analyses the 2D object. Then 3D coordinates of a second 3D object are calculated, thereby assuming that the second 3D object is located at the same distance from the camera as the point of interest.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method is presented for controlling a remote device with a local device which may have a smaller screen than the remote device. At least a part of a content of a screen of the remote device is displayed on a screen of the local device with a magnification m. The local device records a user-action performed on the local device, for example a swipe or pan gesture. If the value of the magnification m is greater than a threshold value M, the local device interprets the user-action as a command destined for itself and executes the command. If the value of the magnification m is equal to or smaller than the threshold value M, the local device interprets the user-action as a command destined for the remote device and transmits the command to the remote device for execution on the remote device.
