In order to extend the practicality of Augmented Reality (AR), a method based on Temporal Psycho Visual Modulation (TPSM) technology and digital camera to realize AR effect was proposed. First, the AR tags were embedded in the digital screen of the media. Based on the principle difference between the human eye to identify the perception and the digital camera to capture the image formed in the digital screen or projector, the digital camera equipment was used to obtain the digital screen image with AR tags which are not easily to be detected by human eye. Finally, the AR effect was displayed on the smart device that gets the AR tags. Simulation results show that the combination of AR and TPVM technology can accurately identify the AR tags in the image and achieve AR effect, while the human eye can not detect the AR tags. Through the mobile phone instead of 3D glasses and other extra equipment, the use restrictions of AR are reduced, and the practicality of AR is also expanded.
