    Abstract: A mobile device stores a target image and target image data collected contemporaneously with the target image. The mobile device receives a reference position indication that corresponds to the target image data and receives a video feed from a camera while the mobile device is in the reference position. The mobile device detects a match between a first image from the video feed and the target image, unlocks an augmented reality space, and instructs presentation of a virtual object within the augmented reality space. The mobile device receives sensor data and a continuing video feed from the camera, compares a second image from the continuing video feed with the first image, and identify common features in the first and second images. The mobile device detects a location change based on the sensor data and changes in the common features between the first and second images.

    Abstract: Systems described herein apply visual computer-generated elements into real-world images with an appearance of depth by using information available via conventional mobile devices. The systems receive a reference image and reference image data collected contemporaneously with the reference image. The reference image data includes a geo-location, a direction heading, and a tilt. The systems identify one or more features within the reference image and receive a user's selection of a foreground feature from the one or more features. The systems receive a virtual object definition that includes an object type, a size, and an overlay position of the virtual object relative to the foreground feature. The virtual object is provided in the virtual layer appearing behind the foreground feature. The systems store, in a memory, the reference image data associated with the virtual object definition.
