A method and system of deploying, creating and certifying the 'virtual presence' of a user at a location other than the actual location of the user that verifiably associates a power of attorney or agency contract and a 'representing entity' to (1) establish the authority of a 'representing entity' to act as if the user were physically present at the remote location, and (2) submit the &#x201c;representing entity&#x201d; to the jurisdiction of the remote location, even though the user is at a different location and only virtually &#x201c;present&#x201d; at the remote location. The representing entity could be an animate object or device located at the remote location, such as a robot, drone, or vehicle, or a &#x201c;presence&#x201d; that only exists electronically, commonly referred to as an &#x201c;avatar.&#x201d; Certification of the virtual presence is achieved by associating a unique identifier of the representing entity with a certifying document or record that includes a power of attorney or agency contract that identifies both authorized actions by the representing entity and restrictions based on the jurisdiction in which the representing entity is empowered to act, and recording the certifying document or record by hashing and encrypting the unique identifier and document, storing the certifying document or record in a blockchain ledger, and/or storing the certifying document or record in a trusted and protected database.

An augmented reality method and system enables sponsors within a defined geographic area to insert enhanced augmented reality objects into navigable views of a geographic area to form 'communities' searchable by a common name or identifier. Users of the method and system situated outside the geographic area may then explore the community by entering the name or identifier of the community, navigating between images containing geolocated scenes taken from or representing the geographic area or community, and interacting with the augmented reality objects positioned within the images.
