20130314398 | AUGMENTED REALITY USING STATE PLANE COORDINATES - An augmented reality (AR) is displayed that combines a real world view with a display of virtual objects. A user may view the virtual objects from different perspectives (e.g. in front of the object, behind the object, to the side of the object, on top of the object, below the object, inside the object). The AR view uses current location information (e.g. GPS coordinates, current elevation . . . ) that is converted to the State Plane Coordinate System (SPCS) to assist in determining the virtual objects to display. A geofence may be configured that defines boundaries for when a virtual object(s) is to be displayed. An area defined by a geofence may be associated with one of more defined virtual objects. A defined boundary may be exclusive or non-exclusive. Exclusive boundaries are associated with virtual objects from authorized entities whereas non-exclusive boundaries may be associated with virtual objects from any number of entities. | 11-28-2013 |
