Abstract
A computing device is configured to determine an initial position and orientation of the computing device within a virtual 3D model of a real-world environment, (ii) capture sensor data that is representative of the real-world environment surrounding the computing device, (iii) based on an analysis of the sensor data, detect an object in the real-world environment, (iv) compare the detected object to data defining physical elements that are represented within the virtual 3D model, (v) identify a given physical element represented within the virtual 3D model that matches the detected object, (vi) update one or more of a position, an orientation, or a presentation of the virtual 3D model in order to align the given physical element with the detected object, and (vii) cause a display screen to present the aligned virtual 3D model as overlaid virtual content on a view of the real-world environment surrounding the computing device.
