1. A mobile device configured for augmented reality comprising:
- an image capture device operable to capture an image of a real scene;
a location sensor operable to determine the geographic location of the mobile device;
an orientation sensor operable to determine the orientation of the mobile device; and
a processor operable to;
determine a pointing vector directed towards the real scene from the orientation of the mobile device;
receive wireframe geometry data over a wireless communication link from an enterprise server storing digital data defined on a digital coordinate system, the received wireframe geometry data corresponding to a predetermined area surrounding the geographic location of the mobile device;
filter the received wireframe geometry data to a region aligned on the pointing vector, the region being smaller than the area surrounding the geographic location of the mobile device; and
register the filtered geometry data onto the image.

18. A method of augmenting a real scene captured by a mobile device, the method comprising:
-
determining a geographic location of the mobile device via a location sensor; capturing at least one video frame of the real scene and generating a corresponding at least one image from the video frame; determining a pointing vector of the mobile device via an orientation sensor; transmitting the image, pointing vector, and the geographic location of the mobile device from the mobile device to an enterprise server over a wireless communication link established therebetween, the enterprise server storing digital data defined on a digital coordinate system and wireframe geometry data representative of the digital data defined on the digital coordinate system; filtering, at the enterprise server, the wireframe geometry data to a region aligned on the pointing vector at the geographic location; registering, at the enterprise server, the filtered wireframe geometry data on the image and determining an initial coordinate therefrom; transmitting the wireframe geometry data and the initial coordinate from the enterprise server to the mobile device over the wireless communication link for all of the at least one image on which the filtered wireframe geometry data has been registered; and overlaying, at the mobile device, the wireframe geometry data received from the enterprise server onto all of the at least one image using the initial coordinate. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
