System and method for facilitating user interaction with a simulated object associated with a physical location

A device comprising:

• a location sensor;
• a camera;
• a display;
• and
• a processor configured to:
• obtain a location data of the device while displaying images obtained by the camera,
• in response to determining that the location data satisfies a criterion specifying where a simulated object can be generated, providing the simulated object with the images obtained by the camera, and
• in response to detecting a motion of the device, automatically adjust the simulated object according to the motion of the device.

A method of facilitating interaction, via a device, with a simulated object that is associated with a physical object at a physical location in a real environment, the method comprising:

• in response to determining that timing data obtained by the device satisfies a criterion specifying when the simulated object can be generated, providing the simulated object for presentation via the device, the presentation of the simulated object being based at least in part on a perceptible characteristic of the physical object;
• rendering a simulated environment in which the simulated object is provided, the simulated environment presented via the device;
• in response to detecting a motion of the device, automatically adjusting a perspective of the simulated environment presented on the device according to the motion of the device;
• based on the adjusting of the perspective, providing the simulated environment with at least one new simulated object of simulated objects associated with a location of the device where the device has access permission to the at least one new simulated object at the location of the device;
• detecting changes occurring in the real environment while rendering the simulated environment;
• and
• in response to detecting the changes occurring in the real environment, adjusting the simulated environment to depict the changes occurring in the real environment,
• wherein the timing data comprises a time when the device is at the physical location.
