TECHNIQUES TO PRESENT LOCATION INFORMATION FOR SOCIAL NETWORKS USING AUGMENTED REALITY
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving an image having a virtual object representing a real object;
determining location information for the real object in the image;
retrieving location information for an individual;
determining when the location information for the real object substantially matches the location information for the individual; and
augmenting the virtual object with information for the individual to form an augmented object.

Abstract
Techniques to present location information using augmented reality are described. An apparatus may comprise an augmentation system operative to augment an image with information for an individual, the image having a virtual object representing a real object. The augmentation system may comprise a location component operative to determine location information for the real object, a virtual information component operative to retrieve location information for an individual, and a proximity component operative to determine whether location information for the real object substantially matches location information for the individual. The augmentation system may further comprise an augmentation component operative to augment the virtual object with information for the individual to form an augmented object when the location information for the real object substantially matches the location information for the individual. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

11. An article comprising a storage medium containing instructions that when executed enable a system to:
-
receive an image having a virtual object representing a real object; determine location information for the real object in the image; retrieve location information for an individual; and modify the virtual object with information for the individual to form a modified virtual object when the location information for the real object substantially matches the location information for the individual. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)
