A wireless communications system may include a near field communication (NFC) reference device configured to store object reference data for at least one object associated with a geographic location of the NFC device. The wireless communications system may also include a mobile wireless communications device that includes an NFC transceiver configured to communicate with the NFC device based upon proximity thereto, an image sensor, a display, and a controller. The controller may cooperate with the NFC transceiver, the image sensor, and the display. The controller may be configured to determine a sensed image from the image sensor. The controller may also be configured to select object reference data for the sensed image based upon communication with the NFC reference device, and display the object reference data and the sensed image on the display.
A wireless communications system comprising:
An electronic device comprising:
A method of using an electronic device comprising an NFC transceiver configured to communicate with an NFC reference device when in proximity thereto, an image sensor, and a display, the method comprising:
A non-transitory computer-readable medium for use with an electronic device comprising an NFC transceiver configured to communicate with an NFC reference device when in proximity thereto, an image sensor, and a display, and having computer-readable instructions for causing the electronic device to perform the steps comprising:
