In an example scenario, an augmented reality (AR) service stores user generated upon receiving the content from the user. The content includes two and/or three article(s). The AR service also receives a selected location from the user as another input. The user content is next processed for an overlay on the selected location. The user content is subject to an expiration after an initial time period. In addition, the user content is provided for a presentation on an AR display in relation to the selected location. An evaluation of the user content is also received from a viewer viewing the user content on the AR display. The time period is extended or reduced based on the evaluation. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A system for providing an augmented reality based social network with time limited posting, the system comprising: an augmented reality server, wherein the augmented reality server is configured to: receive and store a user content generated by a user; receive a selected location from the user; process the user content for an overlay on the selected location, wherein the user content is subject to an expiration after an initial time period; provide the user content for a presentation on an augmented reality display in relation to the selected location; receive an initial evaluation of the user content from an initial viewer viewing the user content on the augmented reality display, wherein the initial evaluation includes a number based mechanism to rank the user content with an evaluation score; and extend or reduce the initial time period based on the initial evaluation by a fraction, wherein the fraction is computed from the evaluation score divided by a maximum evaluation score. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the user content includes one or more of a text, a drawing, an image, an animation, an audio stream, or a video stream. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the user content includes a two dimensional article rendered on a flat plane. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The system of claim 3, wherein a placement of the two dimensional article is fixed in relation to a surface of a structure at the selected location. ### Claim 5 (depends on 3) The system of claim 3, wherein the two dimensional article is positioned in between the viewer and a surface of a structure at the selected location, and wherein the flat plane is rotated to face the initial viewer. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the user content includes a three dimensional article. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The system of claim 6, wherein a placement of the three dimensional article is fixed in relation to a surface of a structure at the selected location, and wherein the viewer is allowed to rotate the three dimensional article on one or more rotation axis. ### Claim 8 (depends on 6) The system of claim 6, wherein the three dimensional article is positioned in between the viewer and a surface of a structure at the selected location, and wherein the three dimensional article is rotated to have a front section face the viewer. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the initial evaluation includes an initial approval of the user content. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The system of claim 9, wherein the augmented reality server is further configured to: receive other approvals of the user content from other viewers; detect a number associated with the initial approval and the other approvals exceed a threshold value; and mark the user content as a fixture at the selected location. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the initial evaluation includes an initial disapproval of the user content. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the augmented reality server is further configured to: receive other disapprovals of the user content from other viewers; reduce the time period to zero based on the initial disapprovals and the other disapprovals; and remove the overlay of the user content at the selected location. ### Claim 13 A method of providing an augmented reality social network with time limited posting, the method comprising: receiving and storing a user content provided by a user; receiving a selected location from the user; processing the user content for an overlay on the selected location, wherein the user content is subject to an expiration time; providing the user content for a presentation on an augmented reality display in relation to the selected location; receiving an evaluation of the user content from a viewer using the augmented reality display, wherein the initial evaluation includes a number based mechanism to rank the user content with an evaluation score; extending or reducing the expiration time based on the evaluation by a fraction, wherein the fraction is computed from the evaluation score divided by a maximum evaluation score; receiving an update to the user content from the viewer; querying the user to confirm or reject the update; and revising the user content with the update based on a response from the user. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The method of claim 13, wherein the update includes an additional content provided by the viewer.
