An augmented reality (AR) node location and activation technique for use in an AR system in a process plant or other field environment quickly and easily detects an AR node in a real-world environment and is then able to activate an AR scene within the AR system, which improves the usability and user experience of the AR system. The AR node location and activation system generally enables users to connect to and view an AR scene within an AR system or platform even when the user is not directly at an existing AR node, when the user is experiencing poor lighting conditions in the real-world environment and in situations in which the user is unfamiliar with the AR nodes that are in the AR system database. As a result, the user can quickly and easily activate the AR system and connect to an AR scene for an AR node close to the user in the field environment under varying weather and lighting conditions in the field and without requiring a large amount of image processing to locate the correct AR scene based on photographic images provided by the user.
