Abstract
Systems, methods and techniques for automatically recognizing two-dimensional real world objects with an augmented reality display device, and augmenting or enhancing the display of such real world objects by superimposing virtual images such as a still or video advertisement, a story or other virtual image presentation. In non-limiting embodiments, the real world object includes visible features including visible security features and a recognition process takes the visible security features into account when recognizing the object and/or displaying superimposed virtual images.

A messaging method comprising:
- (a) capturing an image;
- (b) recognizing an object within the captured image without relying on any bar code or serial number on the object;
- (c) determining whether the recognized object is in a database;
- and
- (d) if the recognized object is determined to be in the database, displaying the captured image on a display with a further message customized to the recognized object anchored to the object within the captured image.
A messaging system comprising:
- a handheld housing having a display thereon;
- a camera disposed on the housing and configured to capture an image;
- a processing system operatively connected to the camera, the processing system configured to perform operations comprising
- recognize an object within the captured image without relying on any bar code or serial number on the object,
- determine whether the recognized object is in a database;
- and
- if the recognized object is determined to be in the database, display the captured image on the display disposed on the handheld housing with a further message customized to the recognized object anchored to the object within the captured image.
A messaging system comprising:
- a handheld housing having a display thereon;
- a camera disposed on the housing and configured to capture an image;
- at least one processor operatively connected to the camera, the processor configured to perform operations comprising
- recognize an object within the captured image without relying on any bar code or serial number on the object,
- connect to a network to determine whether the recognized object is in a remotely stored database;
- and
- if the recognized object is determined to be in the remotely stored database, display the captured image on the display disposed on the handheld housing with a further message customized to the recognized object anchored to the object within the captured image.
