First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method, comprising:
- receiving a user selection of a remote location, the remote location different from a current location of the user; and
outputting to the user, a visualization of the remote location;
wherein the visualization includes representations of one or more mobile augmented reality (MAR) objects within the remote location.

Abstract
Techniques are disclosed that involve mobile augmented reality (MAR) applications in which users (e.g., players) may experience augmented reality. Further, the actual geographical position of MAR application objects (e.g., players, characters, and other objects) may be tracked, represented, and manipulated. Accordingly, MAR objects may be tracked across multiple locations (e.g., multiple geographies and player environments). Moreover, MAR content may be manipulated and provided to the user based on a current context of the user.

16. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a storage medium to store an association between a real object type and a virtual object, the real object informing the apparatus of its current location; and an application processing module to generate one or more events in a mobile augmented reality (MAR) application when a circumstance of a user of the MAR application matches one or more activation parameters. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)
