1. A method comprising:

  • receiving, at a server, a search query indicative of an object;

    in response to receiving the search query, accessing a database of three-dimensional (3D) models of objects, wherein a respective 3D model in the database includes data characterizing surface geometry and texture of a respective object in 3D space;

    identifying, from within the database, a 3D model that corresponds to the object indicated by the search query, wherein the database associates the 3D model with stored information pertaining to the object characterized by the 3D model;

    determining, based on the stored information associated with the 3D model, an updated search query indicative of one or more of an environment of the object, an orientation of the object in the environment, a position of the object in the environment, or an identification of one or more other objects in the environment; and

    providing, based on the updated search query, one or more search query results pertaining to the object.
