Abstract
A computer-implemented system and method for providing a virtual object based on physical location and tagging are provided. A set of virtual objects are maintained in a database on a mobile computing device. Each virtual object includes an action associated with an identifier and coordinates for one or more physical locations. A physical location of the mobile computing device is tracked and an identification tag within range of the mobile computing device is identified. The mobile computing device's physical location and the identification tag are respectively evaluated against the coordinates and the identifiers for the virtual objects in the database. For each of the coordinates and identifiers matched to the physical location and the identification tag, the action associated with the correspondingly matched virtual object is performed using the mobile computing device.
