System and method for augmented reality overlay

1. A system, comprising a processor configured to execute an augmented reality (AR) translator and visualizer system, wherein the AR translator and visualizer system is configured to:

receive a language file comprising content;

determine a background in the language file;

remove the background;

retrieve the content from the language file;

overlay the content onto a real world view via a display to form AR content, wherein the AR content comprises the content merged with the real world view;

cause the system to display the real world view overlaid with the content via the display;

receive user input indicative of a request to enlarge, shrink, or move the content with respect to the real world view within the AR content after the AR content has been displayed; and

enlarge, shrink, or move the content with respect to the real world view based on the user input.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein a language of the language file comprises a page description language.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the language file comprises a Portable Document Format (PDF) file.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the AR translator and visualizer system is configured to rotate the content, annotate the content, or a combination thereof within the AR content after the AR content has been displayed.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the AR translator and visualizer system is configured to rotate the content on the display or to add an annotation to the content based on a second user input received after the AR content has been displayed.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the AR translator and visualizer system is configured to reposition the content or change a size of the content based on a change to the real world view.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the content comprises text, at least one image, a set of objects representative of the real world, or a combination thereof.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the content comprises an engineering drawing.

9. A processor implemented method, comprising:

receiving a language file comprising content;

determining a background in the language file;

removing the background;

retrieving the content from the language file;

overlaying the content onto a real world view via a display to form augmented reality (AR) content, wherein the AR content comprises the content merged with the real world view;

displaying the AR content via the display;

receiving user input indicative of a request to enlarge, shrink, or move the content with respect to the real world view within the AR content after the AR content has been displayed; and

enlarging, shrinking, or moving the content with respect to the real world view based on the user input.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the background is defined as a layer within the language file or by one or more alpha channels within the language file.

11. The method of claim 9 , comprising capturing the real world view via a camera.

12. The method of claim 9 , comprising:

detecting via a camera or a sensor, a change in orientation associated with the real world view; and

modifying the content based on the change in orientation.

13. The method of claim 9 , wherein the content comprises at least one image, wherein the method comprises:

receiving a second user input to:

modify a thickness of one or more lines within the at least one image;

re-color the at least one image;

highlight a portion of the at least one image; or

a combination thereof; and

modifying the AR content based on the second user input.

14. A non-transitory, computer-readable medium, comprising processor-implementable instructions, wherein the instructions are configured to cause a processor to:

receive a language file comprising content;

determine a background associated with the content, wherein the background is defined as a layer within the language file or by one or more alpha channels within the language file;

remove the background;

retrieve the content;

receive a real world view;

overlay the content onto the real world view to form augmented reality (AR) content; and

display the AR content via a display operatively coupled to the processor.

15. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 14 , wherein the instructions are configured to retrieve the real world view from a camera of an electronic device that comprises the processor.

16. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 14 , wherein the instructions are configured to cause the processor to:

receive user input indicative of an annotation associated with the content; and

display the annotation in the AR content based on the user input.

17. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the annotation comprises handwriting or a hand-drawn drawing.

18. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 14 , wherein the content comprises at least one image, wherein the instructions are configured to cause the processor to:

determine that a portion of the at least one image corresponds to a portion of the real world view; and

indicate, via the display, that the portion of the at least one image corresponds to the portion of the real world view.

19. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 14 , wherein the instructions are configured to cause the processor to:

receive user input indicative of a request to enlarge, shrink, or move the content after the AR content has been displayed; and

enlarge, shrink, or move the content based on the user input.

20. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 14 , wherein the instructions are configured to cause the processor to capture a screenshot of the AR content.
