Abstract

A computer-implemented method allows initiating activation in augmented reality of an un-activated physical token. The method includes displaying an augmented reality version of an environment including the physical token. Displaying the augmented reality version of the environment includes capturing an image of a portion of the environment including the physical token; presenting a display of augmented reality corresponding to the portion of the environment by compositing the image of the portion of the environment with a graphical, interactive user interface control, the user interface control positioned in a defined position in augmented reality relative to the physical token. The method further includes, responsive to receipt of input corresponding to an interaction with the user interface control, initiating activation of the physical token. Related computer systems and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
