Abstract
Methods and apparatus for projecting augmented reality (AR) enhancements to real objects in response to user gestures detected in a real environment are disclosed. An example apparatus includes an object detector, a gesture detector, and an enhancement determiner. The object detector is to detect one or more real objects located in a real environment based on depth data obtained from a sensor array located within the real environment. The gesture detector is to detect a user gesture within the real environment based on motion data obtained from the sensor array, the user gesture being associated with a target real object from among the one or more real objects. The enhancement determiner is to determine an AR enhancement based on the user gesture and the target real object. The enhancement determiner is to instruct a projector to project the AR enhancement to the target real object.
