ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides active fiducials for use with augmented reality client systems. A computer system, a method, and a computer program product are presented, which provide location-registered patterns for providing information regarding objects in an area. The computer system comprises a memory for storing information regarding at least one object, the information including the location of an object. A processor is connected with the memory to retrieve a portion of the information, including the location of the object, from the memory for transmission to the client system via a wireless communication module which is connected with the processor and is configured to detect a compatible client system within communication range of the wireless communication module, and if a compatible client system is detected, to transmit a portion of the information regarding the object, including the location of the object, from the computer system to the client system.
