1. An augmented reality (AR) content management system comprising:
- an area database configured to store area data related to an area of interest;
an AR content database storing AR content objects; and
an AR management engine coupled with the area database and the AR content database, and configured to;
obtain an initial map of the area of interest from the area data within the area database;
derive a set of views of interest from the initial map and area data;
obtain a set of AR content objects related to the set of views of interest;
establish AR experience clusters within the initial map as a function of the set of AR content objects and the set of views of interest;
generate a tile map of the area based on the AR experience clusters, wherein the tile map comprises a plurality of tessellated tiles covering at least some of the area of interest, and wherein at least one tile of the plurality of tiles is bound to a subset of the set of AR content objects; and
configure a device to obtain at least a portion of the subset of the AR content objects based on the tile map.

Abstract
Apparatus, methods and systems of providing AR content are disclosed. Embodiments of the inventive subject matter can obtain an initial map of an area, derive views of interest, obtain AR content objects associated with the views of interest, establish experience clusters and generate a tile map tessellated based on the experience clusters. A user device could be configured to obtain and instantiate at least some of the AR content objects based on at least one of a location and a recognition.
