Claim:
A method to implement augmented reality using markers, comprising: capturing an image of an environment that comprises a first marker and a second marker, wherein the first marker and the second marker are separate markers; displaying the captured image of the environment, wherein displaying the captured image of the environment comprises displaying the first marker and the second marker; detecting a first image of the first marker and a second image of the second marker in the displayed captured image of the environment; displaying a first virtual image overlaid on the displayed captured image of the environment at an offset from the first image of the first marker, wherein the first virtual image is based on the detection of the first image of the first marker; displaying a second virtual image overlaid on the displayed captured image of the environment, wherein the second virtual image is based on the detection of the second image of the second marker; and displaying a third virtual image overlaid on the displayed captured image of the environment, wherein the third virtual image is based on the detection of a combination of the first image of the first marker and the second image of the second marker, wherein the third virtual image is different from the first virtual image and the second virtual image.
