  • Patent number: 9805511
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide approaches for interacting with data fields on a page using an augmented reality (AR) device. Specifically, a way for a user to interact with a page having preprinted content and a user's handwritten content within a real world scene using a display screen of the AR device is provided. An image capture unit of the AR device captures image data representing the page. A processing unit performs a page scan of the captured image data to determine a set of data fields located on the page. Context data for at least one data field within the page is received by the processing unit. Augmented reality content based on the context data is incorporated into the page when viewing the page through the display screen.
