Abstract
A system, according to various embodiments, receives images such as videos and photographs from one or more portable computing devices associated with one or more individuals while the portable computing devices are in a particular position within a particular location at a particular time. The system determines a virtual position within a 3-D representation of the particular location that generally corresponds to the particular position and combines the images with the 3-D representation to generate an enhanced 3-D representation of the particular location. The system may create one or more avatars to help users better understand how people will look and move within the space. Users may then login to an enhanced 3-D representation application to view a recreation of the activity at a particular time at a particular location.
