Abstract: An improved augmented reality system utilizes locational awareness in accurately conveying equipment related information to users throughout the construction, occupation, and facilities management phases. In one embodiment the system may generate an image via a digital camera, retrieve positional information corresponding to the generated image from a positional information sensor, retrieve augmented data associated with an object depicted in the generated image based on the retrieved positional information, modify the generated image to represent the augmented data within the image, transmit the modified image, using a communication module, to at least one server, and cause the system to present one or more of the generated image and the modified image using the display. In one embodiment, augmented data is at least one of operational data, schematic data, training data, and maintenance data. The augmented data may correspond to a hazard or a snag.
