The document discusses augmented reality (AR), highlighting its applications in various environments such as streets, homes, and workplaces. It describes marker-based and location-aware AR systems for displaying points of interest (POIs) and emphasizes the development of standards like ARML and KML for interoperability. Additionally, it explores potential uses of AR in education and user-generated content.

- 13. AR browsers & interoperability Most AR browsers display points of interest (POIs) around your current location. Each point is characterised by several attributes like: geo-coordinates (longitude, latitude, altitude), name description images address and other information Each AR browser has its own interface (API) and data structure to model those points of interest.
