Abstract
A computer-implemented augmented reality method includes receiving one or more indications, entered on a mobile computing device by a user of the mobile computing device, of a distance range for determining items to display with an augmented reality application, the distance range representing geographic distance from a base point where the mobile computing device is located. The method also includes selecting, from items in a computer database, one or more items that are located within the distance range from the mobile computing device entered by the user, and providing data for representing labels for the selected one or more items on a visual display of the mobile computing device, the labels corresponding to the selected items, and the items corresponding to geographical features that are within the distance range as measure from the mobile computing device.

2. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
-
receiving (i) data indicating a search query that is entered to a mobile computing device, (ii) data indicating a base geographic location for the search query which is not in a line-of-view of the mobile computing device, and (iii) data indicating a maximum distance range from the base geographic location; selecting (i) a point of interest (POI) that is referenced by one or more search results that are responsive to the search query, the POI having an associated geographic location that is different from the base geographic location and that is located within the maximum distance range from the base geographic location, and (ii) a street-level image of the base geographic location; and providing, for display by the mobile computing device, the street-level image of the base geographic location, overlaid with an indication of the POI. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A non-transitory recordable medium having recorded thereon instructions, that when executed, perform actions comprising:
-
receiving (i) data indicating a search query that is entered to a mobile computing device, (ii) data indicating a base geographic location for the search query which is not in a line-of-view of the mobile computing device, and (iii) data indicating a maximum distance range from the base geographic location; selecting (i) a point of interest (POI) that is referenced by one or more search results that are responsive to the search query, the POI having an associated geographic location that is different from the base geographic location and that is located within the maximum distance range from the base geographic location, and (ii) a street-level image of the base geographic location; and providing, for display by the mobile computing device, the street-level image of the base geographic location, overlaid with an indication of the POI. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)

15. A computer-implemented augmented reality system, comprising:
-
an interface programed to receive (i) data indicating a search query that is entered to a mobile computing device, (ii) data indicating a base geographic location for the search query which is not in a line-of-view of the mobile computing device, and (iii) data indicating a maximum distance range from the base geographic location; a selector to select (i) a point of interest (POI) that is referenced by one or more search results that are responsive to the search query, the POI having an associated geographic location that is different from the base geographic location and that is located within the maximum distance range from the base geographic location, and (ii) a street-level image of the base geographic location; and an augmented reality application on a mobile computing device programed to display the street-level image of the base geographic location, overlaid with an indication of the POI. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)
