We anticipate a future in which people frequently have virtual content displayed in their field of view to augment reality. Situations where this virtual content interferes with users' perception of the physical world will thus be more frequent, with consequences ranging from mere annoyance to serious injuries. We argue for the need to give users agency over virtual augmentations, discussing the concept of de-augmenting augmented reality by selectively removing virtual content from the field of view. De-augmenting lets users target what actually interferes with their perception of the environment while keeping what is of interest. We contribute a framework that captures the different facets of de-augmentation. We discuss what it entails in terms of technical realization and interaction design, and end with three scenarios to illustrate what the user experience could be in a sample of domestic and professional situations.
