Abstract
A system that allows users of augmented reality environments to interact with each other across instances. For each user, the system recognizes real-world objects in an image of a real-world environment and retrieves augmented reality assets to overlay according to each user's selected theme. A user can open a multi-dimensional region in which the augmented reality assets of their augmented reality environment are replaced with those of a different augmented reality environment, giving the user a way to tunnel into another user's augmented reality environment. The augmented reality assets may include commands linked to real-world objects capable of receiving commands, allowing for users to interact with the real-world objects in the environment, such as a streamer's environment.
