1. A method of generating an augmented reality environment, the method comprising:
- identifying a projection surface to receive a projection of the augmented reality environment;
associating the projection surface with an augmented reality functional node that is configured to project the augmented reality environment onto the projection surface;
projecting an image, by a projector associated with the augmented reality functional node, onto the projection surface;
transmitting a signal to an active device coupled to the projection surface;
receiving a device signal from the active device coupled to the projection surface; and
modifying the augmented reality environment based at last in part on the received device signal.

Abstract
An augmented reality system may generate an augmented reality environment by projecting images onto various surfaces within a scene. A projection accessory display device (PADD) provides known characteristics for projection, and may be configured to simplify generation and maintenance of the projected image upon the PADD. The PADD may also provide one or more input devices which accept input from a user within the augmented reality environment. The PADD may comprise non-electronic passive components, electronic active components, or a combination thereof.

6. A system comprising:
-
one or more processors; and memory including computer-readable instructions that, when executed, cause the one or more processors to; detect a projection surface within an augmented reality environment; associating the projection surface with an augmented reality functional node, the augmented reality functional node configured to project content onto the projection surface within the augmented reality environment; transmitting orientation data to an active device coupled to the projection surface, the orientation data including at least one of (i) information to enable the active device to modify an orientation of the projection surface or (ii) a request for the active device to provide orientation information of the projection surface; receive data from the active device in response to user interaction with the projection surface; and cause a projector within the augmented reality functional node to project an image onto the projection surface. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11)

12. A method comprising:
-
recognizing a projection surface within an augmented reality environment; associating the projection surface with an augmented reality functional node, the augmented reality functional node configured to project content onto the projection surface within the augmented reality environment; transmitting orientation data to an active device coupled to the projection surface, the orientation data including at least one of (i) information to enable the active device to modify an orientation of the projection surface or (ii) a request for the active device to provide orientation information of the projection surface; and causing a projector within the augmented reality functional node to project an image onto the projection surface within the augmented reality environment. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
