TL;DR
It is shown how virtual objects make the integration of existing information systems and services in spatial-aware systems easier and integrates single models in a global “Augmented World”.
Abstract
Due to the lack of a generic platform for location-and spatial-aware systems, many basic services have to be reimplemented in each application that uses spatial-awareness. A cooperation among different applications is also difficult to achieve without a common platform.
