Multi-device immersive content layering/presentation technique.
A method includes causing background content to be displayed on a display device with a first virtual object and a second virtual object; causing augmented reality (AR) content to be rendered based on a location of an AR device relative to the display device; determining that the AR content is in front of the first virtual object in the scene when viewed through the AR device and rendering the background content with a cutout in the first virtual object when the first virtual object overlaps with the AR content; and determining that the AR content is behind the second virtual object in the scene when viewed through the AR device and rendering the AR content with a cutout in the AR content when the AR content overlaps with the second virtual object.
BACKGROUND (1) Augmented reality includes a live view of a real-world environment that is augmented by computer generated sensory input(s), such as GPS graphics, video, sound, data statistics, and so forth. In contrast to virtual reality, which replaces the real-world environment with a simulated one, augmented reality elements are often displayed in real time in semantic context with elements of the real-world environment. For example, sports scores can be displayed on a television during a basketball game on a same screen. Headmounted displays can also be used to place the virtual images over a view of the physical world such that both are in the user's field of view. BRIEF SUMMARY (2) In some embodiments, a computer-implemented method may include causing first content to be displayed on a display device. The method may also include determining a location of a mobile device relative to the display device. In some embodiments, the mobile device may be positioned such that the first content is visible to a viewer of the mobile device. The method may additionally include causing second content to be displayed on the mobile device such that the second content is layered over the first content. (3) In some embodiments, a non-transitory, computer-readable medium may include instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations including causing first content to be displayed on a display device. The operations may also i
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: causing background content to be displayed on a display device, wherein the background content comprises a first virtual object and a second virtual object; causing augmented reality (AR) content to be rendered based on a location of an AR device relative to the display device; causing the AR content to be displayed on the AR device such that the AR content is displayed over a view of the background content in the display device as part of a scene; determining that the AR content is in front of the first virtual object in the scene when viewed through the AR device; rendering the background content with a cutout in the first virtual object when the first virtual object overlaps with the AR content when viewed through the AR device; determining that the AR content is behind the second virtual object in the scene when viewed through the AR device; and rendering the AR content with a cutout in the AR content when the AR content overlaps with the second virtual object when viewed through the AR device. ||
8. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising: causing background content to be displayed on a display device, wherein the first background content comprises a first virtual object and a second virtual object; causing augmented reality (AR) content to be rendered based on a location of an AR device relative to the display device; causing the AR content to be displayed on the AR device such that the AR content is displayed over a view of the background content in the display device as part of a scene; determining that the AR content is in front of the first virtual object in the scene when viewed through the AR device; rendering the background content with a cutout in the first virtual object when the first virtual object overlaps with the AR content when viewed through the AR device; determining that the AR content is behind the second virtual object in the scene when viewed through the AR device; and rendering the AR content with a cutout in the AR content when the AR content overlaps with the second virtual object when viewed through the AR device. ||
15. A system comprising: one or more processors; one or more memory devices comprising instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising: causing background content to be displayed on a display device, wherein the first background content comprises a first virtual object and a second virtual object; causing augmented reality (AR) content to be rendered based on a location of an AR device relative to the display device; causing the AR content to be displayed on the AR device such that the AR content is displayed over a view of the background content in the display device as part of a scene; determining that the AR content is in front of the first virtual object in the scene when viewed through the AR device; rendering the background content with a cutout in the first virtual object when the first virtual object overlaps with the AR content when viewed through the AR device; determining that the AR content is behind the second virtual object in the scene when viewed through the AR device; and rendering the AR content with a cutout in the AR content when the AR content overlaps with the second virtual object when viewed through the AR device.
