Abstract: A method is described for implementing augmented reality by means of transferring annotations from a model image to a video flow or to a sequence of destination images. The method entails the creation of a model image for each point of interest (or several points of interest), in addition to the annotation of said model image with point annotations on the objects points of interest that are intended to be augmented and made user-interactable. The method will automatically try to understand if the video flow or the sequence of destination images contains the object contained in the model image and, if so, it will automatically transfer the annotations made from the model image to the video flow or to the sequence of destination images, maintaining the location of the points relative to the object.
Abstract: Described herein is a method for implementing augmented reality associated to carrier means comprising a medium of a physical or digital type, wherein the method comprises in sequence the steps of incorporating an information content within an optical image of the medium, transferring the optical image that incorporates the information content onto the carrier means, decoding the information content, and reproducing the information content on an electronic device, wherein said step of reproducing enables the user to display the augmented reality.
