Abstract

Saving augmented realities includes collecting, with an augmented reality device, observation information of a physical space, and obtaining, with the augmented reality device, an augmentation associated with the physical space. An augmented view of the physical space including a visual representation of the augmentation is visually presented with the augmented reality device, and the augmented view is saved for subsequent playback.

Background

Augmented reality devices are configured to display one or more images over a physical space in order to provide an augmented view of the physical space to a user. The augmented views of the physical space may provide desired information to the user about one or more objects in the physical space.
