1-28. (canceled)
A mobile device comprising:
- an image sensor configured to capture image data of a physical environment that includes at least a first object;
- and
- an image processing platform coupled with the image sensor and configured to:
- obtain the image data from the image sensor;
- recognize a first target object based at least in part on a visual appearance derived from the image data;
- retrieve information related to the first target object, including an information address;
- determine at least one of a position and an orientation of the first object with respect to a second object in the physical environment based on the visual appearance;
- and
- enable an interaction with a computer-system based software application via the information address as a function of the information, and as a function of at least one of the position and the orientation.
