Augmented video prototyping

In a digital medium environment for augmented video prototyping, a method implemented by a mobile device, the method comprising:

• recording augmented video data as a captured video of a recorded scene in an environment, the augmented video data including augmented reality (AR) tracking data as 3D spatial information relative to objects in the recorded scene;
• displaying video frames of the captured video showing the recorded scene in the environment;
• localizing the mobile device with reference to the objects in the recorded scene of the environment using the 3D spatial information responsive to the mobile device being within boundaries of the recorded scene in the environment;
• and
• generating an avatar for display over a video frame showing the recorded scene, the avatar representing the mobile device at a current location from a perspective of the recorded scene of the environment.

A mobile device implemented for augmented video prototyping, the mobile device comprising:

• a camera device to record augmented video data as a captured video of a recorded scene in an environment, the augmented video data including augmented reality (AR) tracking data as 3D spatial information relative to objects in the scene;
• a video prototyping module implemented at least partially in computer hardware, the video prototyping module configured to:
• localize the mobile device with reference to the objects in the recorded scene of the environment using the 3D spatial information responsive to the mobile device being within boundaries of the recorded scene in the environment;
• and
• create a spatial layer over a video frame at a current location of an avatar that represents the mobile device in the recorded scene of the environment, the spatial layer localized with reference to the objects in the recorded scene and the spatial layer is an interactive interface on which to create an augmented reality feature that displays during playback of the captured video.
