## Abstract

A virtual tagging system that includes a management system that allows for multiple authors to manipulate and contribute to an output, the output being displayed on a smart device and being displayed in an augmented reality.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A virtual tagging system, comprising:
a management server connected to a network accessible by a plurality of users;
a management system in communication with the management server, the management system configured to operate with the management server to create an output;
one or more virtual tags associated with the output;
a smart device having a camera, a GPS, and a display, the smart device configured to communicate with the management server and the management system;
a mobile platform accessible from the smart device, the mobile platform having, the mobile platform configured to receive commands from one or more contributors to create the output;
a visual representation of the one or more virtual tags, the visual representation providing the output;
an organized database of a plurality of virtual asset tags, the organized database being accessible via the smart device and the mobile platform, the plurality of virtual asset tags being organized according to a plurality of types of tags;
wherein the plurality of types of tags comprise one or more of:
personal experience tags having data relating to an experience;
organization tags having data related to an activity or task requiring scheduling and organization;
tracking tags having data relating to tracking of the asset; and
virtual data tags having data relating to virtual properties of the asset; and
a log configured to track all human interaction with the asset;
wherein the one or more contributors utilize the management system via the mobile platform to manipulate and change the output.

The system of claim 1, wherein the management system is a content management system (CMS).

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the management system is a customer relationship management (CRM) system.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the visual representation is provided in augmented reality.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the smart device is a wearable augmented reality device.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the smart device is configured for use under water.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the visual representation is interactive.
