User interface overlay system

A computing device including at least one hardware processor and memory storing computer instructions that, when executed by said hardware processor, cause said computing device to perform corresponding operations, said computer instructions comprising:

• an overlay component including a subset of said computer instructions configured to
• communicate with a window manager configured to provide a graphical user interface to a user, said graphical user interface displaying data of an application,
• register with said window manager to receive events corresponding to changes to said graphical user interface,
• register with said application to receive events corresponding to visible data of said application, said visible data including at least one displayed object,
• provide an overlay window to said window manager, said overlay window being configured to overlay said visible data of said application with overlay elements of said overlay window, said overlay elements including at least one overlay object corresponding to said displayed object, and
• responsive to receiving an event indicative of a change in said visible data of said application, provide a second overlay window configured to accommodate said change in said visible data;
• and
• an engine component including a second subset of said computer instructions configured to
• provide a particular interface mechanism to said graphical user interface for collecting augmentation data corresponding to said application,
• store said augmentation data in association with said data of said application, and
• generate said overlay window with said overlay elements derived from said augmentation data.
