Systems and methods for using augmented reality device as a copy-paste utility

A system for utilizing an AR device as a copy-paste utility, the method comprising:

• a visual sensor;
• and
• control circuitry configured to:
• capture, using the visual sensor, a representation of a content item from a real-world environment;
• identify an electronic device within a field of view of the AR device;
• detect a user gesture to transfer the representation of the content item to the electronic device;
• and
• in response to detecting the user gesture:
• determine a context of the electronic device into which the representation of the content item should be transferred;
• and
• transmit, to the electronic device, a command to cause transfer of the representation of the content item to the electronic device in the determined context.
