Combining augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and photogrammetry to facilitate interactions with the physical world is disclosed. Images may be collected through various means (e.g., images taken by drones, ground-based photography, satellite imaging, etc.) and used to construct a three-dimensional (3D) model representation of the real world. This virtual environment can then be experienced by users in either a computing system (e.g., a desktop computer, laptop computer, smart phone, tablet, etc.) or a VR interface (e.g., a headset). The users can create various annotations, such as voice recordings, images, text, etc., and place these annotations in the virtual 3D model of the real world. These annotations are linked to the physical world via a coordinate system. AR “explorers” and VR users can then interact with one another via geographically aligned AR and VR models.
