Abstract
One embodiment provides a system for using Augmented Reality (AR) to facilitate displaying business graphics. The system receives at a computer system a video stream including an image of a marker, the marker being a physical object that is manipulated by the user and is recognizable by the computer system. The system recognizes the marker and receives from the user a selection of a business graphic. Next, the system renders the business graphic over the image of the marker in the video stream such that the image of the marker is obscured by the business graphic. The system then recognizes a manipulation of the marker indicated by a change in the image of the marker in the video stream. Next, the system performs an action on the business graphic that corresponds to the manipulation of the marker. Finally, the system displays the video stream to the user.
