Various embodiments include a computer-implemented method for augmenting a physical infrastructure with an information element. The method may include: acquiring data of a spatial environment infrastructure, dimensioned by a coordinate system; defining a second spatial environment as a subspace of the first and dimensioned by its own coordinate system with a first marker item and a second marker item; creating a SLAM map of the second environment with two SLAM marker items; recognizing the SLAM identifiers; aligning the coordinate system of the SLAM map to the coordinate system of the second environment; recognizing a first and a second marker identifier; determining an absolute position and orientation of the second spatial environment relative to the first environment; defining the information element in relation to a component of the infrastructure; determining coordinates of the element in the second environment; and augmenting the physical infrastructure with the information element at the spatial coordinates.
