Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments are disclosed that augment a visually displayed portion of a facility with superimposed virtual elements. In one embodiment, mobile position data is generated based on non-optical sensor readings taken by a mobile computing device. The mobile position data represents a location and an orientation of the mobile computing device in a three-dimensional (3D) space of the facility. Projection parameters are generated based on the mobile position data and are applied to modeled facility data to generate rendered image data. The modeled facility data represents hidden and unhidden elements of the facility within the 3D space. The rendered image data is superimposed on live real-time image data acquired by the mobile computing device and displayed by the mobile computing device. The projection parameters promote spatial alignment of the rendered image data with the live image data with respect to positions within the 3D space.
