Methods, hardware, and software create augmented reality through several distinct users. Different users may select locations for the augmented reality creation and add augmented objects, elements, and other perceivables to underlying reality through separate communications devices. The users may interface with a GUI for augmenting underlying media, including use of several tools to add particular and separate augmented features. Users may take turns separately editing and adding augmented elements, and once the users are finished collaborating, the resulting augmented reality can be shared with others for re-creation and performance at the selected locations. Users may invite each other to collaborate on augmented reality through the GUI as well, potentially in a contact-based invitation method or any other known communication or chat configuration.

Systems and methods for shared creation of augmented reality

Methods, hardware, and software perform augmented reality created from a separate source in context with, such as synchronized and positioned in, captured media, so as to replicate a similar augmented reality at a different instance. A computer processor in a network of communications devices handles a combination of augmented reality information, anchor information that provides the context-matching, limitation information that controls if such information is transmitted or acted upon, and captured media information. The computer processor compares the anchor information with the media to identify triggering media and how augmented reality elements should appear in context with such media. If successful, the augmented reality is performed on a communications device based on the media. Augmented reality can thus be performed in strict reference to actually-captured media, in only desired or restricted conditions, and information transmission and processing to enable the same may be undertaken only at useful, resource-conserving instances.
