A semantic engine is configured to interpret the plurality of rules and to perform an action by inferring a first semantic and a second semantic based on inputs from the first sensing entity. The semantic engine infers a composite semantic and identifies an action applicable to the composite semantic to perform the action.

Abstract: A semantic augmentation system includes a sensor with a computing system and a memory in communication with the computing system, the memory storing a plurality of endpoints. The computing system is configured to infer a first and a second semantic identity for an object, based on inputs from the sensor, project a coherent narrative and perform semantic augmentation towards a user. In further examples, the system infers a first narrative comprising two semantic identities and a second narrative wherein the system infers that a user observing view didn't infer the second semantic identity and further doesn't use the second semantic identity in the second narrative. It further, uses the corresponding narrative to remind the user to carry an item and/or credential in order to start an activity.
