Abstract
In one embodiment, augmented reality is facilitated by a special initialization user interface that shows multiple views of a three-dimensional (3-D) model and a representation of a physical environment captured by a camera, where each of the multiple views is updated substantially in real-time as changes are made in another of the multiple views. An approximate lateral position of the representation of the physical environment with respect to the 3-D model is received through user interaction with a first of the views. An approximate orientation of the representation of the physical environment with respect to the 3-D model is received through user interaction with a second of the views. Correspondence is established between a plurality of portions of the 3-D model and a plurality of portions of the representation of the physical environment to anchor the 3-D model to the representation of the physical environment.
