Patent ID: 8682879

Claim:
A system for identifying markers and generating augmented reality, comprising: a marker input unit configured to receive one or more markers and one or more indexes of each of the markers, each of the indexes including one or more terms that describe virtual reality data; a search engine including at least one processor configured to identify web content that corresponds to a keyword and to identify the markers that correspond to the keyword based on a similarity between the keyword and the one or more indexes of the markers; a matching unit configured to correlate the identified web content with one or more of the identified markers and to generate a document that comprises the web content and the one or more of the correlated, identified markers; an output unit configured to transmit the document that comprises the web content and the one or more correlated, identified markers, wherein each of the one or more correlated, identified markers comprises a two-dimensional image that identifies corresponding virtual reality data, wherein the corresponding virtual reality data comprises at least one of an image, a video, and a 3D object; a virtual reality data receiver configured to receive the corresponding virtual reality data based on the one or more correlated, identified markers; and an augmented reality generator configured to generate augmented reality data by overlaying the received virtual reality data on a real world image.
