Abstract
A system and method for enhancing location-based services by enabling spatial database systems to respond to or answer spatial queries that use a reference object to identify objects or features of interest in an environmental scene before a system user. The system and method for enhancing pointing technology by permitting system users to use queries to identify objects or features within the system user's field of view by pointing at the reference object or feature, and linking it to the object of interest by using spatial prepositions.
