Systems and methods for selecting spheres of relevance for presenting augmented reality information

An apparatus comprising a processor configured to perform:

• detecting a plurality of real-world objects in a field of view of a user;
• selecting from the plurality of real-world objects a first group of at least one real-world object within a first shape having a first size;
• selecting from the plurality of real-world objects a second group of at least one real-world object outside the first shape and within a second shape having a second size larger than the first size;
• augmenting the first group of real-world objects at a first time;
• and
• augmenting the second group of real-world objects at a second time after the first time;
• wherein the first size and the second size are selected based at least in part on the locations of each of the detected plurality of real-world objects.

A method for selectively presenting augmented reality (AR) information, comprising:

• detecting a plurality of real-world objects in a field of view of a user;
• selecting from the plurality of real-world objects a first group of at least one real-world object less than a first distance from the user in the field of view;
• selecting from the plurality of real-world objects a second group of at least one real-world object in the field of view of the user between the first distance and a second distance from the user greater than the first distance;
• augmenting the first group of real-world objects at a first time;
• and
• augmenting the second group of real-world objects at a second time after the first time;
• wherein the augmenting of at least the first and second group of real-world objects is performed cyclically, each group being augmented at different times in each of a plurality of cycles.
