  • Publication number: 20230113461
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for providing co-presence in an augmented reality environment. The method may include receiving a visual scene within a viewing window depicting a multi-frame real-time visual scene captured by a camera onboard an electronic device associated with the augmented reality environment, identifying a plurality of elements of the visual scene, detecting at least one graphic indicator associated with at least one of the plurality of elements, detecting at least one boundary associated with the at least one element, and generating, in the viewing window and based on the detection of the at least one graphic indicator, Augmented Reality (AR) motion graphics within the detected boundary. In response to determining that content related to the at least one element is available, the method may include retrieving the content and visually indicating an AR tracked control on the at least one element within the viewing window.
