Abstract
A system that the tracks a likely object within the user'"'"'s field of view. This is done by taking a picture of the field of view, and processing that picture to determine likely objects within the picture being viewed. Those likely objects are than correlated against a database, and information about the objects are returned. The information can be either raw information that is sent over an information link, or an address to local information. The information sent back can indicate, for example, more information about a painting being viewed, or more information about a theme park attraction.
