Abstract
A system for processing a video stream is disclosed. The system includes a processing device configured for analyzing the surrounding environment represented in the video stream for at least one marker that is indicative of an environmental characteristic. At least one marker is identified within the surrounding environment. Once identified, information associated with the environmental characteristic is presented to the user. In one embodiment, the information is presented via AR such that one or more virtual objects are superimposed over the video stream. The virtual objects may be interactive.
