1. A method comprising:
at a device including a display, a non-transitory memory and one or more processors coupled with the display and the non-transitory memory:
presenting, via the display, a pass-through representation of a physical writing surface that corresponds to an application installed on the device;
detecting a difference between the physical writing surface and an electronic calendar record stored in association with the application;
determining, based on the difference, whether information written on the physical writing surface corresponds to the electronic calendar record being moved from a first time period to a second time period via the application, wherein the first time period is different from the second time period; and
in response to determining that the information written on the physical writing surface corresponds to the electronic calendar record being moved from the first time period to the second time period, overlaying a plurality of augmented reality (AR) elements on the pass-through representation of the physical writing surface to indicate that the information has been moved from a first location on the pass-through representation of the physical writing surface corresponding to the first time period to a second location on the pass-through representation of the physical writing surface corresponding to the second time period different from the first time period.
