Systems, apparatus and methods for delivery of location-oriented information

A mobile locating device for an augmented-reality guiding system, comprising:

• a) a positioning module configured to determine a location information for the locating device;
• b) an imaging module configured to capture at least one image of at least some of a field of vision for the locating device;
• c) a spatial orientation detection module that outputs heading, roll, and pitch data to determine spatial information for the imaging module of the locating device;
• d) a display module configured to provide visual feedback;
• and
• e) at least one wireless communication module configured to communicate with a location server;
• f) wherein the location server is in communication with a database configured to store target information relating to target points of interest, the mobile locating device is configured to be able to receive target information relating to at least one target points of interest from the location server;
• and based on the target information and the location information and spatial information for the locating device, display the target information relating to the target point of interest by visually augmenting the at least one captured image on the display module;
• and
• g) wherein at least one of the target points of interest is a mobile object and the at least one mobile locating device is adapted to dynamically locate the mobile object.
