Multimedia device and method for controlling the same

An augmented reality device uses a camera to recognize a physical document and then overlays a digital version of it on a display. This digital version can show the document's text with changes to its font, size, color, or layout. The device can also display this digital version in a fixed spot on the screen, and its text can be set to a specific size, regardless of how the original paper is positioned or what its text size was.

Why it matters: Filed before the widespread maturation of consumer-grade XR hardware and real-time computer vision. The ability to accurately recognize printed matter and dynamically render modified text overlays in augmented reality has significantly advanced since 2019.

Status: ExpiredProtection ended and was never renewed
How hard to build: SpecializedXR hardware, real-time computer vision, rendering software.
