## Abstract

A method for providing an augmented reality view including inserting a virtual object into a three-dimensional space of a subject real estate property at a location with an input device; and displaying the virtual object in response to the location within the three-dimensional space of the subject real estate property being viewed by a user on a display device.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method for providing an augmented reality view, comprising:
modifying a three-dimensional space representative of a subject real estate property to position a virtual object at a desired location within the three-dimensional space; and
rendering the virtual object on a display device in response to the location being viewed by a user with the display device.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method as recited in claim 1, wherein the virtual object comprises a three-dimensional representation of a piece of furniture.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method as recited in claim 1, wherein the piece of furniture is selected from one of a multiple of interior designs stored on a server accessible by the input device and the display device.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method as recited in claim 1, wherein an input device is utilized to position the virtual object at the location.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method as recited in claim 1, further comprising:
wherein the rendering step comprises superimposing the virtual object onto visual environmental data generated by a camera of the display device.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The method as recited in claim 5, wherein the rendering step comprises orienting the virtual object with respect to a position of the display device.

### Claim 7

A method for providing an augmented reality view, comprising:
determining a location of a mobile device within a subject real estate property;
determining a field of view of the mobile device contains a geo-marked location;
retrieving virtual object data from a server for the geo-marked location; and
superimposing the virtual object data at the geo-marked location onto a three-dimensional space of the subject real estate property to provide an augmented reality view of the field of view of the mobile device.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The method as recited in claim 7, wherein the superimposing step comprises orienting the virtual object with respect to the mobile device.

### Claim 9 (depends on 7)

The method as recited in claim 7, wherein the superimposing step comprises orienting the virtual object with respect to the display device within the subject real estate property.

### Claim 10 (depends on 7)

The method as recited in claim 7, wherein the retrieving step comprises selecting a virtual object identified by an input device.

### Claim 11 (depends on 7)

The method as recited in claim 7, wherein the retrieving step comprises selecting a virtual object from a database of virtual objects, the database stored on the server.

### Claim 12 (depends on 7)

The method as recited in claim 7, wherein the superimposing step comprises adding or removing a wall.

### Claim 13 (depends on 7)

The method as recited in claim 7, wherein the superimposing step comprises adding a window and providing an outside view.

### Claim 14

A real estate augmented reality system, comprising:
a server to store a location of a virtual object with respect to a three-dimensional space of a subject real estate property; and
a mobile device for operation of an augmented reality application, the mobile device in communication with the server to display the virtual object in response to a field of view from the mobile device that contains the location.

### Claim 15 (depends on 14)

The system as recited in claim 14, wherein the virtual object is selected from a catalogue of virtual objects in a database on the server.

### Claim 16 (depends on 14)

The system as recited in claim 14, wherein the virtual object comprises a three-dimensional representation of a piece of furniture.

### Claim 17 (depends on 14)

The system as recited in claim 14, wherein the piece of furniture is selected from one of a multiple of interior designs stored on the server.

### Claim 18 (depends on 14)

The system as recited in claim 14, wherein the virtual object is manually sized on the augmented reality application.

### Claim 19 (depends on 14)

The system as recited in claim 14, wherein the virtual object is a wall.

### Claim 20 (depends on 14)

The system as recited in claim 14, further comprising communicating the location of the virtual object with respect to the three-dimensional space of the subject real estate property to a third party.
