Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device may use one or more sensors to detect a user intent for content associated with a point of interest in the physical environment of the user. In response to the user intent for content, the electronic device may transmit information associated with the point of interest to an external server. The transmitted information may include depth information, color information, feature point information, location information, etc. The external server may compare the received information to a database of points of interest and identify a matching point of interest in the database. The external server then transmits additional contextual information and/or application information associated with the matching point of interest to the electronic device. The electronic device may run an application and/or present content based on the received information associated with the matching point of interest.
