## Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention include an ingestible sticker including an edible paper and an edible ink on a surface of the edible paper creating a sticker image, wherein the sticker image is configured to be recognized by an augmented or virtual reality capable device.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An ingestible sticker comprising:
an edible paper and
an edible ink on a surface of the edible paper creating a sticker image, wherein the sticker image is configured to be recognized by an augmented or virtual reality capable device.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The ingestible sticker of claim 1, wherein the edible paper comprises of a food grade material that has adhesive qualities when combined with moisture.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The ingestible sticker of claim 1, wherein the edible ink comprises natural dye pigments.

### Claim 4

A system for creating an augmented or virtual reality experience using an ingestible sticker, comprising:
the ingestible sticker comprising:
an edible paper and
an edible ink on a surface of the edible paper creating a sticker image, wherein the sticker image is configured to be recognized by an augmented or virtual reality capable device; and
an application stored in a memory of the augmented or virtual reality capable device and configured to create an augmented or virtual reality when the application is running and the ingestible sticker is located.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The system of claim 4, wherein the application comprises a set of instructions that, when executed by a processor of the augmented or virtual reality capable device, causes the processor to recognize the sticker image.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The system of claim 5, wherein the application comprises a set of instructions that, when executed by a processor of the augmented or virtual reality capable device, causes the processor to overlay a virtual image on the sticker image.

### Claim 7 (depends on 5)

The system of claim 5, wherein the application comprises a set of instructions that, when executed by a processor of the augmented or virtual reality capable device, causes the processor to display the virtual image over the sticker image on a screen of the augmented or virtual reality capable device.

### Claim 8 (depends on 5)

The system of claim 5, wherein the application comprises a set of instructions that, when executed by a processor of the augmented or virtual reality capable device, causes the processor to track a position and an orientation of the sticker image within a field of view of a camera of the augmented or virtual reality capable device.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The system of claim 8, wherein the application comprises a set of instructions that, when executed by a processor of the augmented or virtual reality capable device, causes the processor to update the position and the orientation of the ingestible sticker based on tracking information.

### Claim 10 (depends on 6)

The system of claim 6, wherein the virtual image is the same shape and size as the sticker image.

### Claim 11

A method for using an ingestible sticker with an augmented or virtual reality application, the ingestible sticker comprising an edible paper and an edible ink on a surface of the edible paper creating a sticker image, wherein the sticker image is configured to be recognized by an augmented or virtual reality capable device and wherein the application is configured to be stored in a memory of the augmented or virtual reality capable device, the mobile device having a screen and a camera, the method comprising:
affixing the ingestible sticker to a designated substrate;
loading the application on the augmented or virtual reality capable device;
directing the camera of the augmented or virtual reality capable device at the ingestible sticker;
retrieving sensory information from the camera by the application;
recognizing the sticker image of the ingestible sticker; and
initiating a augmented or virtual reality experience based on the recognized sticker image.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The method of claim 11, further comprising displaying a virtual image over the recognized sticker image on the screen of the augmented or virtual reality capable device.

### Claim 13 (depends on 11)

The method of claim 11, further comprising tracking a position and an orientation of the recognized sticker image within a field of view of the camera.

### Claim 14 (depends on 13)

The method of claim 13, further comprising updating the position and the orientation of the recognized sticker image based on tracking information.
