Abstract
Methods and systems for displaying a virtual object capture, via an image capturing device, images of a physical scene that includes a first marker and a second marker, wherein the first marker and the second marker are physical markers; associate a first virtual object with the first marker and a second virtual object with the second marker; track the position of the first marker and the position of the second marker in the captured images of the physical scene using a tracking device; detect an interaction between the first marker and the second marker based on the tracked position of the first marker and the tracked position of the second marker, wherein the interaction is detected when the first marker and the second marker are within a predetermined proximity of each other; and associate, in response to detecting that the interaction, a third virtual object with the first marker.
