Abstract
A method of rendering virtual content is disclosed. A position to render each of a first and a second portion of virtual content on an augmented reality device is determined. Each of the first and second portion of virtual content is linked to a corresponding physical document. The position for rendering each of the first and second portions of virtual content is determined according to a position of the corresponding physical documents with the position of the first portion of virtual content being adjacent to the position of the second portion of virtual content. Viewing zones for each of the first and second portions of virtual content are determined, based on the determined positions. Each of the viewing zones is defined as a physical region where an augmentation of the corresponding portion of virtual content is visible on the augmented reality device. The viewing zone of the second portion of virtual content is modified to reduce any overlap with the viewing zone of the first portion of virtual content. The first and the second portions of virtual content are rendered on the augmented reality device according to the determined viewing zones.
