A computer-implemented method for providing an augmented reality entertainment environment, the method implemented by a processing resource, the method comprising the steps of:
- initialising the augmented reality entertainment environment at a location;
- determining the presence of a physical object;
- determining whether the physical object is a known or unknown physical object and, if the physical object is determined to be known, retrieving position tracking data for the object;
- generating at least one visual element for rendering in the augmented reality entertainment environment;
- rendering the visual element in the augmented reality environment relative to the location of the physical object;
- and, if the physical object is determined to be unknown, identifying the object, generating position tracking data for the object to track the position of the object;
- generating at least one visual element for rendering in the augmented reality entertainment environment;
- and rendering the visual element in the augmented reality environment relative to the location of the physical object.
