Managing content in augmented reality

According to an aspect, a method for managing augmented reality (AR) content in an AR environment includes obtaining image data associated with a scene of an AR environment, where the AR environment includes AR content positioned in a coordinate space of the AR environment. The method includes detecting a physical object from the image data, associating the physical object with the AR content, and storing coordinates of the AR content and information indicating that the physical object is associated with the AR content in an AR scene storage for future AR localization.
