Abstract: A system for Augmented Reality (AR) document generation receives a request to generate an AR document with a particular amount directed to a particular receiver. The AR document comprises an AR check. The system generates a unique code for the AR check by converting a name of a sender, a name of the particular receiver, the amount, and a serial number associated with the AR check into a hexadecimal format. The system generates the AR check by taking the unique code as an input and writing the name of the sender, name of the particular receiver, the amount, and the serial number on the AR check extracted from the unique code. The system transmits an image of the AR check to a computing device associated with the particular receiver.

Abstract: A method for modulating a position of a movable command input image displayed on a graphical user interface (GUI) based on a user viewing direction relative to graphical user interface comprises capturing real time images of the user's face, eyes and irises. The general eye orientation of the user is determined based on the real time images. A first position of the movable command input image displayed on the GUI is determined. The GUI is separated into portions. A real-time correlation between the general eye orientation and one or more of the interface portions is determined thereby determining a viewing direction of the user and one or more real-time viewed interface portions. The movable command input image is moved from the first position to a second position on the GUI. The second position is at the one or more real-time viewed interface portions.
