Lawyer here. I wrote a pretty lengthy analysis on implications of AR application intersecting with real property:

It's a novel issue of first impression. There is no controlling statute or case law. The most we can do is make informed speculation at this point.

My guess is that at some point a court will find that property rights will extend to geo-spatial, virtual property boundaries. That is, you retain control of how your property appears in 'cyberspace.'
