The invention relates to traversing photo-augmented information through depth using gesture and UI controlled occlusion planes. Systems and methods are described. A method includes: obtaining depth data associated with a scene captured by an electronic device; obtaining location data associated with a plurality of physical objects within a predetermined distance of the electronic device; generating a plurality of augmented reality objects configured to be displayed over a portion of the plurality of physical objects; and generating a plurality of neighboring layers corresponding to the at least one scene, wherein a respective neighboring layer is configured to trigger display of auxiliary data corresponding to the AR object associated with the respective neighboring layer while suppressingother AR objects.
