1. A method for controlling presentation of media content with physical world objects, the method comprising:
- storing a first digital description of a first physical object in an augmented reality environment of a user;
receiving a user input from the user, assigning an input scheme for controlling presentation of media content to the first physical object; and
after receiving the user input assigning the input scheme for controlling presentation of media content to the first physical object;
detecting the first physical object in the augmented reality environment by comparing digital descriptions of physical objects in the augmented reality environment to the first digital description of the first physical object; and
in response to detecting the first physical object in the augmented reality environment, controlling presentation of media content using the input scheme.

Abstract
Methods and systems are described herein for a media guidance application that allows users to associate input schemes with physical objects in an augmented reality environment. Specifically, the media guidance application may recognize physical objects in an augmented reality environment and allow users to identify input schemes to associate with the physical objects, wherein the input schemes are ways in which users may control presentation of media content by interacting with the physical objects.

11. A system for controlling presentation of media content with physical world objects, the system comprising:
-
storage circuitry configured to store a first digital description of a first physical object in an augmented reality environment of a user; and control circuitry configured to; receive a user input from the user, assigning an input scheme for controlling presentation of media content to the first physical object; and after receiving the user input assigning the input scheme for controlling presentation of media content to the first physical object; detect the first physical object in the augmented reality environment by comparing digital descriptions of physical objects in the augmented reality environment to the first digital description of the first physical object; and in response to detecting the first physical object in the augmented reality environment, control presentation of media content using the input scheme. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
