AN AUGMENTED GAMING PLATFORM

1 . A method for an augmented gaming platform, comprising:

capturing an image using a computer device with a camera and a display;

sending the image to a matching engine, wherein a trigger is matched to an object in the image;

returning, by the matching engine, an overlay based on the trigger; and

entering the overlay into an augmented gaming platform.

2 . The method of claim 1 , comprising:

pointing the computer device at the image;

recognizing the image; and

overlaying a trigger generated from the image into the augmented gaming platform.

3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising tracking a trigger and overlaying the trigger into a videogame environment supported by the augmented gaming platform and displayed by the computer device.

4 . The method of claim 3 , further comprising tracking a trigger using multi-object tracking.

5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising selecting the objects in the image that are matched to a trigger through a user-interface.

6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising processing a number of triggers from an image, wherein the triggers are utilized by the augmented gaming platform to create individual virtual objects that a user interacts with in a videogame environment.

7 . A computer device, comprising

a camera to capture an image;

a processor configured to execute instructions; and

a storage device that stores instructions, the storage device comprising code to direct the processor to:

capture the image using the computer device with the camera and a display;

recognize the image;

send the image to a matching engine, wherein a trigger is matched based on objects in the image;

return an overlay based on the trigger;

input the overlay into an augmented gaming platform;

track the trigger and overlay the trigger into a videogame environment; and

display the videogame environment on the display of the computer device.

8 . The computer device of claim 7 , comprising code configured to direct the processor to process a number of triggers from an image, wherein the triggers are utilized by the augmented gaming platform to create individual virtual objects that a user interacts with in a videogame environment.

9 . The computer device of claim 7 , comprising an augmented reality platform in the storage device, wherein the augmented reality platform is configured to associate an augmented reality overlay to each trigger.

10 . The computer device of claim 9 , wherein the augmented reality overlay is specific to the augmented gaming platform created by a developer.

11 . The computer device of claim 7 , wherein a user is to create a videogame environment that is customizable based on the image that is captured.

12 . The computer device of claim 7 , wherein the image is a static image.

13 . A non-transitory, machine-readable medium comprising instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to:

recognize an image;

match a trigger based on objects in the image;

return an overlay based on the trigger;

enter the overlay into an augmented gaming platform; and

display an interactive videogame environment that is customizable based on the image.

14 . The non-transitory, machine-readable medium of claim 13 , further comprising instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to process a number of triggers from an image, wherein the triggers are utilized by the augmented gaming platform to create individual virtual objects that a user interacts with in a videogame environment.

15 . The non-transitory, machine-readable medium of claim 13 , further comprising instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to track a trigger using multi-object tracking.
