Abstract
A parallel-reality application enables users to tag virtual elements in their proximity for later interaction. A geographic location of a user is received and used to identify a virtual location, in a virtual world, that maps to the geographic location of the user. A region of the virtual world is identified based on the identified virtual location and one or more virtual elements within the region of the virtual world are selected. An identifier of the one or more virtual elements is stored in conjunction with an identifier of the user and a list of tagged virtual elements is provided for display to the user. At a later time, the user interacts with a selected one of the tagged virtual elements.
