Location enabled augmented reality (AR) system and method for interoperability of AR applications

A method for providing a platform for interoperability of augmented reality (AR) applications, comprising:

• providing a protocol for communication between a first AR application and a second AR application;
• receiving, from the first AR application, a first set of functionalities of a plurality of functionalities for exposure, based on the provided protocol, wherein the first set of functionalities includes data related to at least one AR object in AR content of the first AR application;
• providing an accessibility of the received first set of functionalities of the first AR application to the second AR application;
• and
• controlling the second AR application such that the second AR application manipulates the at least one AR object in the AR content of the first AR application, based on the accessibility of the received first set of functionalities, wherein the manipulation of the at least one AR object corresponds to change of an attribute value of the at least one AR object.

A computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon computer-executable program code instructions which when executed by a computer, cause the computer to carry out operations for providing a platform for interoperability of augmented reality (AR) applications, the operations comprising:

• providing a protocol for communication between a first AR application and a second AR application;
• receiving, from the first AR application, a first set of functionalities of a plurality of functionalities for exposure, based on the provided protocol, wherein the first set of functionalities includes data related to at least one AR object in AR content of the first AR application;
• providing an accessibility of the received first set of functionalities of the first AR application to the second AR application;
• and
• controlling the second AR application such that the second AR application manipulates the at least one AR object in the AR content of the first AR application, based on the accessibility of the received first set of functionalities, wherein the manipulation of the at least one AR object corresponds to change of an attribute value of the at least one AR object.
