Abstract
In one exemplary embodiment, a method includes the step of obtaining a digital image of an object with a digital camera. The object is identified. A user query is received. The method includes the step of matching, with at least one processor, the user query with at least one manipulable portion of a virtual view of the digital image of the object. The method includes the step of obtaining the at least one manipulable portion from a database of manipulable portions of the object. The method includes the step of integrating the at least one manipulable portion with the virtual view of the digital image of the object, wherein a manipulable portion comprises a region of an augmented-reality element integrated into the virtual view of the digital image of the object, and wherein the augmented-reality element comprises a hyper link to another augmented-reality element comprising a virtual interior view of the object and wherein the camera obtains the predefined user gesture.
