Abstract: Apparatuses (e.g., systems and devices) and methods to view otherwise hidden connectivity of networking devices. An electronic device such as a network device connected to a variety of different devices, may be observed through a real-time image onto which information about the connectivity and/or connections may be display to show identity, connectivity state and other information associated with ports of the network device(s). These methods may be implemented on a mobile device used to capture images of the network device and present an overlay of virtual objects on the captured images to a user in real time. The virtual objects may dynamically move or change shape in real time depending on the movement of the mobile device. One or more filtering techniques may be used to stabilize the virtual objects with respect to the captured images.
