USER-TO-USER COMMUNICATION ENHANCEMENT WITH AUGMENTED REALITY
The enhancement of user-to-user communication with augmented reality is described. In one example, a method includes receiving virtual object data at a local device from a remote user, generating a virtual object using the received virtual object data, receiving an image at the local device from a remote image store, augmenting the received image at the local device by adding the generated virtual object to the received image, and displaying the augmented received image on the local device.

25 . A method comprising:
generating a virtual vehicle and its association with a message at a local device as a virtual object using a virtual message object data received at a local device from a remote user, the virtual vehicle for virtually conveying the message from the remote user to the local device;
augmenting, at the local device, an image of an area that includes a position of a remote user position with the generated virtual object;
displaying the augmented image on the local device with a position of the local device depicted based on a real position of the local device; and
conveying, at the local device, the message using the virtual vehicle in response to a user command at the local device, by having the message virtually move across the augmented image from the remote user position toward the local device position.
