Abstract
A system and method uses an electronic device with a camera and a viewing device to create an augmented reality environment by superimposing a virtual image onto a surface for a user to trace with a drawing apparatus. The system and method can be used to directly copy a virtual image onto a surface by hand and provides training, step by step drawing tools, and image verification. By looking through a user's device and following step by step lessons, the user is guided to complete an image.
