Abstract

Systems, methods, and apparatus are provided for distributed augmentation. In one implementation, a system is provided. The system includes one or more presentation applications, each presentation application operable to provide a presentation output and a plurality of augmentation and presentation control (iAPC) modules operable to provide user augmentations of the presentation output. The system also includes one or more distributed augmentation and presentation management (DAPm) modules operable to separately manage augmentations from the presentation output and to provide an augmented presentation output and one or more display devices for presenting the augmented presentation output.
