An augmented reality, AR, system for detecting a linkage between a person and an identification document in an AR environment, the augmented reality system comprising: an outward-facing imaging system configured to image an environment of the AR system; an AR display configured to present virtual content in a three-dimensional, 3D, view to a user of the AR system; and a hardware processor programmed to: obtain, with the outward-facing imaging system, an image comprising a portion of the person in the environment and of the identification document in the environment; detect (1320, 1330) a first face and a second face in the image, wherein the first face is a face of the person in the environment and wherein the second face is a face on the identification document in the environment; characterize the first face based on first facial features associated with the first face; characterize the second face based on second facial features associated with the second face; analyze the first facial features and the second facial features to detect the linkage between the person and the identification document; instruct the AR display to present a virtual annotation (5256, 5252, 5254a) in the 3D view of the AR display, the virtual annotation (5256, 5252, 5254a) comprising a visual focus indicator, wherein the virtual annotation indicates a match between the first face and the second face that is determined based on the analysis of the first facial features and the second facial features, and wherein the visual focus indicator is configured to focus attention of a user of the AR display on one or more features of the first face or second face associated with the linkage between the person and the identification document by providing a first box displayed around the first face and a second box displayed around the second face. an outward-facing imaging system configured to image an environment of the AR system; an AR display configured to present virtual content in a three-dimensional, 3D, view to a user of the AR system; and a hardware processor programmed to: obtain, with the outward-facing imaging system, an image comprising a portion of the person in the environment and of the identification document in the environment; detect (1320, 1330) a first face and a second face in the image, wherein the first face is a face of the person in the environment and wherein the second face is a face on the identification document in the environment; characterize the first face based on first facial features associated with the first face; characterize the second face based on second facial features associated with the second face; analyze the first facial features and the second facial features to detect the linkage between the person and the identification document; instruct the AR display to present a virtual annotation (5256, 5252, 5254a) in the 3D view of the AR display, the virtual annotation (5256, 5252, 5254a) comprising a visual focus indicator, wherein the virtual annotation indicates a match between the first face and obtain, with the outward-facing imaging system, an image comprising a portion of the person in the environment and of the identification document in the environment; detect (1320, 1330) a first face and a second face in the image, wherein the first face is a face of the person in the environment and wherein the second face is a face on the identification document in the environment; characterize the first face based on first facial features associated with the first face; characterize the second face based on second facial features associated with the second face; analyze the first facial features and the second facial features to detect the linkage between the person and the identification document; instruct the AR display to present a virtual annotation (5256, 5252, 5254a) in the 3D view of the AR display, the virtual annotation (5256, 5252, 5254a) comprising a visual focus indicator, wherein the virtual annotation indicates a match between the first face and the second face that is determined based on the analysis of the first facial features and the second facial features, and wherein the visual focus indicator is configured to focus attention of a user of the AR display on one or more features of the first face or second face associated with the linkage between the person and the identification document by providing a first box displayed around the first face and a second box displayed around the second face.
