Patent Images
1. An augmented reality-based content authoring tool:
- a recognition engine configured to;
receive a digital representation of an arrangement of a marker set in a physical environment;
identify each marker'"'"'s identity in the marker set from the digital representation; and
identify at least one inter-connectable AR object primitive for each marker in the marker set from each marker'"'"'s identity; and
a content creation engine coupled with the recognition engine and configured to;
obtain a content creation rules set;
obtain a set of AR content primitives comprising the at least one inter-connectable AR object primitive for each marker in the marker set, each AR object primitive including a primitive interface;
generate an AR content set by coupling at least two primitives in the set of AR content primitives via their primitive interfaces according to the content creation rules set as a function of the arrangement in the physical environment of the markers corresponding to the at least two primitives; and
cause a device to present the AR content set on a display where the AR content is superimposed on an image of the physical environment based on the arrangement.

Abstract
An augmented reality-based content authoring tool is presented. A content author arranges machine-recognizable markers in a physical environment. A computing device operating as the authoring tool recognizes the markers and their arrangement based on a captured digital representation of the physical environment. Once recognized, augmented reality primitives corresponding to the markers can be bound together via their primitive interfaces to give rise to a content set. The individual primitives and content set are instantiated based on the nature of the marker'"'"'s arrangement.
