ABSTRACT:
A system and method selecting an object from a plurality of objects in a physical environment is disclosed. The method may include framing an object located in a physical environment by positioning an aperture at a selected distance from a user's eye, the position of the aperture being selected such that the aperture substantially encompasses the object as viewed from the user's perspective, detecting the aperture by analyzing image data including the aperture and the physical environment, and selecting the object substantially encompassed by the detected aperture. The method may further include identifying the selected object based on its geolocation, collecting and merging data about the identified object from a plurality of data sources, and displaying the collected and merged data.
