Augmented reality confidential view

1. A method implemented on an augmented reality (AR) device, the method comprising:

receiving an image of a document on the AR device, the image of the document including one or more areas of visibly identifiable obfuscated text;

identifying a marker on the document, the marker being associated with an area of the visibly identifiable obfuscated text on the document;

scanning the marker using the AR device;

obtaining a geolocation of the AR device;

receiving a verbal command to unobscure the visibly identifiable obfuscated text on the document; and

when the user of the AR device is authenticated, when the geolocation of the AR device is a location at which a display of a non-obfuscated image of the visibly identifiable obfuscated text is permitted, and when the verbal command is received, displaying on the AR device the non-obfuscated image of the visibly identifiable obfuscated text associated with the marker.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein displaying a non-obfuscated image of the text comprises overlaying the non-obfuscated text over the visibly identifiable obfuscated text on a display screen of the AR device.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising before displaying the non-obfuscated image of the visibly identifiable obfuscated text:

determining a time of day; and

permitting the display of the non-obfuscated image of the visibly identifiable obfuscated text only during a time period during which the display of the non-obfuscated image of the visibly identifiable obfuscated text is permitted.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising authenticating the user of the AR device.

5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:

issuing a security alert when a determination is made that the user of the AR device is not an authorized user.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving one or more edits to a non-obfuscated text at the AR device, the non-obfuscated text corresponding to the non-obfuscated image of the visibly identifiable obfuscated text associated with the marker; and

modifying the non-obfuscated text according to the edits.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising automatically un-obfuscating one or more areas of visibly identifiable obfuscated text on the document after a specified time period has elapsed.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising before receiving the image of the document on the AR device:

receiving a different image of the document on the AR device or on another AR device, the different image of the document not including obfuscated text;

using the AR device or the another AR device, identifying a section of the document to be obfuscated;

electronically marking the identified section of the document; and

electronically obfuscating the identified section of the document.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein identifying a section of the document to be obfuscated further comprises highlighting the section of the document on the AR device or the another AR device.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein electronically marking the identified section of the document further comprises associating the marker with the identified section of the document, wherein the marker comprises a predetermined tag.

11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising inserting or embedding the marker in the identified section of the document.

12. An augmented reality (AR) electronic device comprising:

a processing unit; and

system memory, the system memory including instructions which, when executed by the processing unit, cause the AR electronic device to:

receive an image of a document, the image of the document including one or more areas of obfuscated text;

identify an area of obfuscated text on the document, the area of obfuscated text being visibly identifiable;

identify a marker on the document associated with the identified visibly identifiable obfuscated text;

scan the marker;

obtain a geolocation of the AR electronic device;

authenticate a user of the AR electronic device; and

receive a verbal command to unobscure the visibly identifiable obfuscated text on the document; and

when the user of the AR electronic device is authenticated, when the geolocation of the AR electronic device is a location at which a display of a non-obfuscated image of the visibly identifiable text is permitted, and when the verbal command is received, display the non-obfuscated image of the visibly identifiable obfuscated text.

13. The AR electronic device of claim 12 , wherein:

display a non-obfuscated image of the visibly identifiable obfuscated text comprises overlaying the non-obfuscated text over the visibly identifiable obfuscated text on a display screen of the AR electronic device.
