Abstract
In one embodiment, a panoramic camera captures a panorama of the physical environment visible from a position within the physical environment. An orientation sensor determines an orientation of a handheld device. Based on the orientation of the handheld device, a backend augmentation application selects a portion of the captured panorama visible in a corresponding orientation from the position to produce a view of the physical environment. The view of the physical environment shows physical features of the physical environment and at least a portion of the user's body. The backend augmentation application augments the view of the physical environment to merge computer-generated features with the view of the physical environment to create an augmented reality view. The augmented reality view shows a relationship between the portion of the user's body, the physical features, and the computer-generated features. The augmented reality view is displayed on the handheld device.
