Abstract

An approach is provided for enabling a contextual query based on visual elements and user input in augmented reality at a device.

The method further includes processing and/or facilitating a processing of the image data to cause, at least in part, an identification of one or more visual elements. The method also includes causing, at least in part, a construction of at least one query based, at least in part, on the content information and the one or more visual elements.
