Representing a location at a previous time period using an augmented reality display

A personal audiovisual (A/V) apparatus for representing a physical location at a previous time period with three dimensional (3D) virtual data comprising:

• a near-eye, augmented reality display having a display field of view and being supported by a near-eye support structure;
• one or more processors being communicatively coupled to a network accessible computer system for accessing one or more memories storing a virtual tag associated with one or more objects, 3D virtual data associated with the one or more objects in the physical location and the 3D virtual data representing the one or more objects in the physical location for at least one previous time period from a plurality of different time periods;
• the one or more processors receiving a 3D mapping of the physical location identifying one or more 3D space positions of real and virtual objects in the physical location;
• a natural user interface (NUI) for interpreting one or more user physical actions of at least one body part as user input indicating a previous time period for representation by 3D virtual data and as user input selecting at least one object in the physical location for augmentation with the 3D virtual data;
• and
• the one or more processors controlling the near-eye, augmented reality display of the personal A/V apparatus for displaying of the 3D virtual data for the at least one object in the at least one previous time period from a user perspective associated with the display field of view and displaying the linked object associated with the virtual tag in response to another user at the physical location previously uploading wit the virtual tag to the memory.

One or more processor readable storage devices comprising instructions which cause one or more processors to execute a method for representing a physical location at a previous time period with three dimensional (3D) virtual data displayed by a near-eye, augmented reality display of a personal audiovisual (A/V) apparatus comprising:

• automatically identifying the personal A/V apparatus is within the physical location based on location data detected by the personal A/V apparatus;
• automatically identifying one or more objects in a first display field of view of the near-eye, augmented reality display based on a three dimensional (3D) mapping of objects in the physical location;
• identifying user input indicating selection of a previous time period from a plurality of different time periods displayed as a timeline in the first of view of the near eye, augmented reality display;
• displaying (3D) virtual data associated with the previous time period from a user perspective associated with the first display field of view.
