Abstract: Methods, hardware, and software create augmented reality through several distinct users. Different users may select locations for the augmented reality creation and add augmented objects, elements, and other perceivables to underlying reality through separate communications devices. The users may interface with a GUI for augmenting underlying media, including use of several tools to add particular and separate augmented features. Users may take turns separately editing and adding augmented elements, and once the users are finished collaborating, the resulting augmented reality can be shared with others for re-creation and performance at the selected locations. Users may invite each other to collaborate on augmented reality through the GUI as well, potentially in a contact-based invitation method or any other known communication or chat configuration.
