Augmented reality displayed keypad for authenticated keyless door access

A method performed by an access point, comprising:

• receiving presentation information from a server to enable display of a virtual keypad via augmented reality on an image of an exterior surface of the access point;
• receiving, via at least one camera mounted on the access point, location data of a plurality of taps detected on the exterior surface;
• generating an input code based on the plurality of taps;
• authenticating access by comparing the input code to a stored access credential;
• and
• performing, by a processor of the access point, a control action related to a subsystem associated with the access point in response to successful authentication.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a user device, cause the user device to:

• receive presentation information indicating a layout and position for a virtual keypad on an image of an exterior surface;
• display the virtual keypad as an augmented reality (AR) overlay at the indicated position;
• provide guidance to a user for performing physical taps on the exterior surface corresponding to keys of the virtual keypad;
• refrain from registering the physical taps within a corresponding AR application;
• and
• transmit a user identifier to an access point for association with an access session.
