On a display configured to provide a photorepresentative view from a user's vantage point of a physical environment in which the user is located, a method is provided comprising receiving, from the user, an input selecting a theme for use in augmenting the photorepresentative view. The method further includes obtaining, optically and in real time, environment information of the physical environment and generating a spatial model of the physical environment based on the environment information. The method further includes identifying, via analysis of the spatial model, one or more features within the spatial model that each corresponds to one or more physical features in the physical environment. The method further includes based on such analysis, displaying, on the display, an augmentation of an identified feature, the augmentation being associated with the theme.
