Augmented reality physical card games

An augmented reality (AR) wearable device comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, configure the AR wearable device to perform operations comprising:
• capturing, by an image capturing device of the AR wearable device, an image corresponding to a user view of a real-world scene;
• accessing, in a memory of the AR wearable device, data indicating a card within the image and a location of the card, the card comprising a code;
• receiving, from a host device via a wireless network, a card assignment generated by the host device for a game session, the card assignment dynamically mapping a plurality of codes printed on a plurality of cards to a plurality of overlays, selected from a plurality of games, wherein a same code of the plurality of codes is mapped to different overlays in different game sessions, each card of the plurality of cards comprising a different code;
• determining an overlay for the card based on the card assignment and the code;
• adjusting a shape of the overlay based on the location of the card and a user view;
• and
• displaying, on a display of the AR wearable device, the overlay for the card, wherein a position of the overlay is based on the location of the card and the user view, the overlay replacing a visual appearance of a face of the card as seen through the display of the AR wearable device.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that stores instructions for execution by at least one processor of an augmented reality (AR) wearable device, the instructions to configure the at least one processor to:

• capturing, by an image capturing device of the AR wearable device, an image corresponding to a user view of a real-world scene;
• accessing, in a memory of the AR wearable device, data indicating a card within the image and a location of the card, the card comprising a code;
• receiving, from a host device via a wireless network, a card assignment generated by the host device for a game session, the card assignment dynamically mapping a plurality of codes printed on a plurality of cards to a plurality of overlays, selected from a plurality of games, wherein a same code of the plurality of codes is mapped to different overlays in different game sessions, each card of the plurality of cards comprising a different code;
• determining an overlay for the card based on the card assignment and the code;
• adjusting a shape of the overlay based on the location of the card and a user view;
• and
• displaying, on a display of the AR wearable device, the overlay for the card, wherein a position of the overlay is based on the location of the card and the user view, the overlay replacing a visual appearance of a face of the card as seen through the display of the AR wearable device.
