Abstract
An online system generates and stores virtual models of physical spaces. These virtual models represent physical objects within the physical spaces through 3D representations of those objects. A content development system can request a virtual model associated with a physical space and modify the virtual model to include virtual objects. The content development system transmits the modified virtual model to be stored by the online system. A client device requests the modified virtual model from the online system when the client device is posed near the physical space. The client device uses the modified virtual model to display a modified video feed that displays the virtual content generated by the content development system as an augmented reality experience.
