Other embodiments are disclosed. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A device comprising: a processing system including a processor and an augmented reality device; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising: obtaining an identification of a participant in an event that is being presented on a display that is within a field of view of a viewer who is using the augmented reality device, the display not being part of the augmented reality device, the field of view of the viewer being presented to the viewer via the augmented reality device, and the obtaining the identification resulting in an identified participant; obtaining images of the display presenting the event, the images being from a camera of the augmented reality device, and the camera comprising a still image camera, a video camera, or any combination thereof; distinguishing, in the images of the display, the identified participant, the distinguishing being based upon facial recognition applied to the images, recognition of a number or other indicium on clothing shown in the images, or any combination thereof; and presenting, via the augmented reality device, an augmented reality marker, the augmented reality marker being overlaid on the display in such a manner as to indicate to the viewer where the identified participant is on the display. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the event is a sporting event, a concert, or any combination thereof. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The device of claim 2, wherein the sporting event comprises football, basketball, baseball, soccer, hockey, track and field, auto racing, boat racing, horse racing, dog racing or any combination thereof. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the identification of the participant is obtained from a user profile of the viewer, input of the viewer, or any combination thereof. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the facial recognition is based upon one or more images of the identified participant. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The device of claim 5, wherein the one or more images of the identified participant are obtained from a database, a website, or any combination thereof. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the display comprises a television. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the augmented reality device comprises glasses, goggles, a visor, a helmet, or any combination thereof. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the field of view of the viewer is presented to the viewer via a see-through lens portion of the augmented reality device. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the field of view of the viewer is presented to the viewer via a display screen of the augmented reality device. ### Claim 11 A method comprising: obtaining, by a processing system including a processor and an augmented reality device, an identification of a participant in an event that is being presented on a display that is within a field of view of a user who is using the augmented reality device, the display not being part of the augmented reality device, the augmented reality device comprising glasses, goggles, a visor, a helmet, or any combination thereof, the field of view of the user being presented to the user via the augmented reality device, and the obtaining the identification resulting in an identified participant; obtaining, by the processing system, images of the display presenting the event, the images being from a camera of the augmented reality device; distinguishing by the processing system, in the images of the display, the identified participant, the distinguishing being based upon a recognition technique applied to the images; and presenting, via the augmented reality device, an augmented reality marker, the augmented reality marker being overlaid on the display in such a manner as to indicate to the user where the identified participant is on the display. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, wherein the camera of the augmented reality device comprises a still image camera, a video camera, or any combination thereof. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, wherein the recognition technique comprises facial recognition applied to the images. ### Claim 14 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, wherein the recognition technique comprises recognition of a number or other indicium on clothing shown in the images. ### Claim 15 A machine-readable storage medium comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a system including a processor and an augmented reality device, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising: obtaining an identification of a participant in a sporting event that is being presented on a display that is within a field of view of a viewer who is using the augmented reality device, the display not being part of the augmented reality device, the field of view of the viewer being presented to the viewer via the augmented reality device, the obtaining the identification resulting in an identified participant, and the identified participant being a particular player on a team; obtaining images of the display presenting the sporting event, the images being from a camera of the augmented reality device; distinguishing via a recognition technique, in the images of the display, the identified participant; and presenting, via the augmented reality device, an augmented reality marker, the augmented reality marker being overlaid on the display in such a manner as to indicate to the viewer where the identified participant is on the display. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The machine-readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the sporting event comprises football, basketball, baseball, soccer, hockey, track and field, or any combination thereof. ### Claim 17 (depends on 15) The machine-readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the camera of the augmented reality device comprises a still image camera, a video camera, or any combination thereof. ### Claim 18 (depends on 15) The machine-readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the display comprises a television. ### Claim 19 (depends on 15) The machine-readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the distinguishing is based upon facial recognition applied to the images, recognition of a number or other indicium on clothing shown in the images, or any combination thereof. ### Claim 20 (depends on 15) The machine-readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the field of view of the viewer is presented to the viewer via a see-through lens portion of the augmented reality device or the field of view of the viewer being presented to the viewer via a display screen of the augmented reality device.
