1. A method for generating an augmented reality scenario, comprising:
- identifying, using a camera of a mobile computing device, a trigger item for use with the augmented reality scenario from a scene detected by the camera;
in response to receiving user input corresponding to a selection, identifying, at the mobile computing device, a user-selected content item to include as part of the augmented reality scenario;
associating, at the mobile computing device, the trigger item with the user-selected content item to generate the augmented reality scenario; and
transmitting the augmented reality scenario to a remote server system for storage so that when another computing device detects the trigger item using a camera of the other computing device, the user-selected content item is displayed on a display of the other computing device.

Abstract
The systems and methods allow users of mobile computing devices to generate augmented reality scenarios. Augmented reality content is paired with a real world trigger item to generate the augmented reality scenario. The augmented reality content is overlaid onto frames on a video when a trigger item is detected. Each mobile computing device may have an augmented reality application resident on the mobile computing device to allow a user to generate the augmented reality scenarios.

8. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor of a mobile computing device, causes the mobile computing device to:
-
identify a trigger item from a scene detected by a camera of the mobile computing device, the trigger item being specified by a user of the mobile computing device to configure an augmented reality scenario; identify, at the mobile computing device, a user-selected content item to include as part of the augmented reality scenario; generate, at the mobile computing device, the augmented reality scenario by associating the trigger item with the user-selected content item; and storing the augmented reality scenario at a remote server system so that when another computing device detects the trigger item using a camera of the other computing device, the user-selected content item is displayed on a display of the other computing device. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A mobile computing device, comprising:
-
a camera; a display; one or more memory resources storing instructions; and a processor, coupled to the camera, the display, and the one or more memory resources, to execute the instructions, wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the mobile computing device to; identify a trigger item for use with an augmented reality scenario from a scene detected by the camera; in response to receiving user input corresponding to a selection of a user-selected content item, associate the trigger item with the user-selected content item to include as part of the augmented reality scenario, the user-selected content item being selected from the one or more memory resources or from a remote source over a network; and transmit the augmented reality scenario to a remote server system for storage so that when another computing device detects the trigger item using a camera of the other computing device, the user-selected content item is displayed on a display of the other computing device. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
