Abstract
Methods, systems and processor-readable storage media for rendering a virtual shadow onto a real-world surface in an image are described. Using an augmented reality application running on a computing device having a camera, the method comprises capturing an image of a scene and detecting a real-world surface therein. A transparent occluding virtual plane is rendered onto the real-world surface. A texture associated with a virtual object is then written to a shadow buffer and projected onto the transparent occluding virtual plane.
