SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AUGMENTED REALITY ART CREATION
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- operating a camera to capture a reference image of a scene in a user'"'"'s environment;
automatically identifying at least one 2D geometric feature in the reference image of the user'"'"'s environment;
receiving a user selection of at least one of the automatically identified 2D geometric features;
generating a 3D geometric element by extrapolating the selected 2D feature into three dimensions; and
displaying the 3D geometric element as an augmented reality overlay on the captured scene in the user'"'"'s environment and extrapolated from the selected 2D feature.

Abstract
Systems and methods are described for generating and displaying augmented reality (AR) content. In an embodiment, a user captures a reference image of a scene using an AR device such as a headset or a tablet computer. The AR device automatically identifies 2D geometric features, such as edges, in the reference image. The user selects a 2D geometric feature and operates the AR device to generate a 3D geometric element by extrapolating the selected 2D feature into three dimensions using, for example, extrusion and lathe operations. The generated elements may be displayed by the AR device as an augmented reality overlay on the scene. The AR device may upload the generated elements to a networked content manager for sharing and viewing on the AR devices of other users.
