Spatially-Aware Tool System

A method of tracking a construction tool within a frame of reference comprising:

• receiving a first indication to calculate a first location of a construction tool;
• calculating the first location of the construction tool as a result of receiving the first indication;
• receiving a second indication to calculate a second location of the construction tool;
• calculating the second location of the construction tool as a result of receiving the second indication;
• generating a positional frame of reference based on the first location and the second location of the construction tool;
• tracking a third location and an orientation of the construction tool within the positional frame of reference;
• comparing the third location and the orientation of the construction tool relative to the positional frame of reference;
• calculating relative characteristics of the construction tool based on the comparing;
• generating augmentation data based on the relative characteristics;
• and
• providing the augmentation data to a user.

A method of displaying information from a construction plan comprising:

• electronically tracking a location and an orientation of an object;
• calculating a spatial relationship between a construction plan and the location and the orientation of the object;
• generating augmentation data based on the spatial relationship between the construction plan and the location and the orientation of the object;
• and
• displaying an image that is representative of the augmentation data, wherein the image includes a representative image of a construction object within the construction plan, and wherein the construction object is selected from a group consisting of a wall, lighting, a hole in a floor wherein the hole is configured to receive a pipe, a conduit, a datacom component, a door, and a window.
