First Claim
Patent Images
1. An Augmented Reality (AR) providing apparatus, comprising:
- a recognition information acquiring unit to acquire user recognition information from a real object and to output the user recognition information;
a manipulating unit to receive a signal for requesting an addition to the user recognition information; and
a controller to select a virtual object, and to add the outputted user recognition information as mapping information for the virtual object.
