Abstract
An augmented reality system enhances or augments the view of a real-world object by replacing different portions of the object with visualizations of non-visible data encoded for those different portions. The system may receive an image that captures visible properties of an object from a particular perspective. The system may select a model with data points that are generated from scanning the object and that encode visible and non-visible properties of the object. The system may align the model to match the object at the particular perspective, may map the non-visible properties from a set of the data points to an object part that is represented and aligned with the set of data points, and may present an augmented reality view in which the visible properties at the object part from the particular perspective are replaced with a visualization of the non-visible properties from the set of data points.
