Augmented reality display of local information

Abstract:

A mobile computing device displays crime information of a street associated with a current location of the mobile computing device on a display of the mobile computing device. The mobile computing device communicates a request for crime information associated with the current location of the mobile computing device to at least one server and receives the requested crime information. The mobile computing device generates an augmented reality view of the current location by overlaying the requested crime information upon a live view of the current location on the display of the mobile computing device.
