User interface for augmented reality enabled devices

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory medium storing computer programs for execution by one or more computer systems, the computer program product comprising:

• code for receiving, by a camera, a scan of an environment in view of a user;
• code for identifying a set of surfaces in the environment for displaying user interface windows;
• code for assigning a surface priority level to each surface in the set of surfaces, wherein the surface priority level for each surface is selected from a plurality of surface priority levels;
• code for assigning a surface trackability level to each surface in the set of surfaces, wherein the surface trackability level for each surface is selected from a plurality of surface trackability levels;
• code for assigning a content priority level to each content item in a set of augmented reality contents for display with respect to the set of surfaces in the environment, wherein the content priority level for each content item is selected from a plurality of content priority levels;
• and
• code for displaying each content item in the set of augmented reality contents for display on a surface in the set of surfaces in a display based on the surface priority level, the surface trackability level, and the content priority level.

An apparatus, comprising:

• at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor comprises
• logic configured to receive, by a camera, a scan of an environment in view of a user;
• logic configured to identify a set of surfaces in the environment for displaying user interface windows;
• logic configured to assign a surface priority level to each surface in the set of surfaces, wherein the surface priority level for each surface is selected from a plurality of surface priority levels;
• logic configured to assign a surface trackability level to each surface in the set of surfaces, wherein the surface trackability level for each surface is selected from a plurality of surface trackability levels;
• logic configured to assign a content priority level to each content item in a set of augmented reality contents for display with respect to the set of surfaces in the environment, wherein the content priority level for each content item is selected from a plurality of content priority levels;
• and
• logic configured to display each content item in the set of augmented reality contents for display on a surface in the set of surfaces in a display based on the surface priority level, the surface trackability level, and the content priority level.

A system for displaying augmented reality contents, comprising:

• means for receiving, by a camera, a scan of an environment in view of a user;
• means for identifying a set of surfaces in the environment for displaying user interface windows;
• means for prioritizing a set of augmented reality contents for display with respect to the set of surfaces in the environment by assigning a surface priority level to each surface in the set of surfaces, wherein the surface priority level for each surface is selected from a plurality of surface priority levels, assigning a surface trackability level to each surface in the set of surfaces, wherein the surface trackability level for each surface is selected from a plurality of surface trackability levels, and assigning a content priority level to each content item in a set of augmented reality contents for display with respect to the set of surfaces in the environment, wherein the content priority level for each content item is selected from a plurality of content priority levels;
• and
• means for displaying each content item in the set of augmented reality contents for display on a surface in the set of surfaces in a display based on the surface priority level, the surface trackability level, and the content priority level.
