A method and system for generating attention pointers, including: displaying, in a display of a mobile device, an object within and outside a field of view (FOV) of an user wherein the object outside the FOV are real objects; monitoring, by a processor of the mobile device, for a change in the object within and outside the FOV; in response to a change, generating by the processor one or more attention pointers within the FOV of the user for directing user attention to the change in the object which is either inside or outside the FOV; and displaying, by the processor, on a virtual screen within the FOV to the user, the one or more attention pointers wherein the one or more attention pointers are dynamically configured to interact with the user in response to detections based on a movement of the user or the object within or outside the FOV of the user.
