Abstract: Systems, methods and articles of manufacture for augmenting reality are described herein. An embodiment may include computing a real-world depth map using real-world imagery captured by an imaging device, providing, to a rendering engine, perspective information including location coordinates representing a location of the imaging device, rendering a computed depth map based on geographical data retrieved from a server in response to the providing, the geographical data corresponding to at least the location of the imaging device, correlating the real-world depth map with the computed depth map to improve accuracy of the location of the imaging device represented by the location coordinates, and overlaying the real-world imagery with virtual information based on the correlated real-world depth map and the computed depth map.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer storage mediums are provided for navigating a virtual camera within a virtual three-dimensional environment using a mobile device. An exemplary method includes receiving, from at least one sensor on the mobile device, an indication that the mobile device has pivoted about a first rotation axis. A change in a user's position in relation to the mobile device is tracked as the mobile device is pivoted about the first rotation axis. A location of the first rotation axis is then determined based on the change in the user's position in relation to the mobile device. When the location of the first rotation axis is proximate to the mobile device, a first action to navigate within the three-dimensional environment is executed. When the location of the first rotation axis is proximate to the user, however, a second action to navigate within the three-dimensional environment is executed.
