Abstract

Methods, systems, and computer programs for nesting augmented reality markers within augmented reality overlays to create nested menu options in augmented reality applications are provided. An input image is received from an augmented reality input buffer. The input buffer is a digital representation of information taken from a camera. An output image including an overlay is received from an augmented reality output buffer. The output buffer is scanned for one or more markers, where the markers are associated with the overlay. A first user input is received, indicating a user selection of a first marker. A first marker overlay is displayed. The first marker overlay corresponds to the first marker.
