COMPOSITING IMAGES FOR AUGMENTED REALITY

A method may include capturing a first image of a physical environment using a mobile device. The mobile device may include a physical camera and a display. The method may also include receiving a second image from a content provider system. The second image may be generated by the content provider system by rendering a view from a virtual camera in a virtual environment. The virtual environment may represent at least a portion of the physical environment. A location of the virtual camera in the virtual environment may correspond to a location of the physical camera in the physical environment. The second image may include a view of a computer-generated object. The method may additionally include generating a third image by compositing the first image and the second image, and causing the third image to be displayed on the display of the mobile device.
