Abstract
A method and apparatus for product catalog navigation. A database stores, in a tangible form, an electronic catalog of product records in an ontology. A query module is configured to receive a product identifier, query the database based on the product identifier and navigate the ontology of the electronic catalog to identify at least one product record in the electronic catalog associated with the product identifier. The product identifier can be image data of the product. The query module can also use supplemental product indicia and additional external information to query the database. Enhanced visualization techniques can be used to display the product in relation to another virtual image.
