Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for rendering graphics in augmented reality software based on the movement of a device in relation to a target object, in order to produce more desired rendering effects. An augmented reality graphic can be both scaled and shifted laterally compared to the target based on a position of the device, and can then be cropped to match the target. Scaling and shifting related to movement parallel to the target can be performed using a first (parallel) function, and scaling and shifting related to movement toward and away from the target can be performed using a second (perpendicular) function. Both functions can be chosen to ensure that an edge of the augmented image is not passed over so as to provide blank space.
