Abstract: An image generation system and method for displaying an Augmented Reality “AR” image of a real-world environment having one of more objects located therein and one or more AR objects each corresponding to a respective object, the system comprising: a display on which the image of the real-world environment and the AR objects are displayed; a processing and control module configured to: receive, from one or more sensors, data relating to the real-world environment and objects therein; create the one or more AR objects from the objects by determining additional information relating to the object which is represented by at least one of symbols, annotations and fonts to be attached to the AR object to act as a displayed component: displaying the AR image comprising the real-world image and one or more AR objects; wherein the AR objects once created are stored for future retrieval based on a unique identifier for the AR object which remains active as long as the object is of interest.
