Controlling interactivity of digital content overlaid onto displayed data via graphics processing circuitry using a frame buffer

A method, comprising:

• generating an overlay comprising an augmentation layer, the augmentation layer including content;
• superimposing the overlay onto displayed data to create a composite comprising the augmentation layer and a base layer, such that the content is viewable while a portion of the base layer is obscured from view;
• determining a location of a user input in the augmentation layer;
• associating the location of the user input in the augmentation layer with a target location in the base layer;
• and
• associating the target location with an operation corresponding to the augmentation layer and the base layer such that the user input in the augmentation layer activates an input in the base layer.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform a method, the method comprising:

• generating an overlay comprising an augmentation layer, the augmentation layer including content;
• superimposing the overlay onto displayed data to create a composite comprising the augmentation layer and a base layer, such that the content is viewable while a portion of the base layer is obscured from view;
• determining a location of a user input in the augmentation layer;
• associating the location of the user input in the augmentation layer with a target location in the base layer;
• and
• associating the target location with an operation corresponding to the augmentation layer and the base layer such that the user input in the augmentation layer activates an input in the base layer.
