Abstract: The present disclosure describes a location-based application in which users can attach media content to geographic locations. Other users can later experience the media content when in proximity to the geographic content or via a map interface displaying indications of media content in the vicinity of the viewing user. When users experience media content attached to a geographic location they may initiate communication with the creator of the media content. Additionally, the creator or viewer of a video or photograph of a geographic location may select an object depicted in the video or photograph to create a 2D or 3D virtual object representing the depicted object. This virtual object may be held by the user (e.g., in a virtual bag) or dropped at the same or a different geographic location where it may be viewed and interacted with by other users in an augmented reality environment.
