a model includes model layers on which a wireframe representation of objects located at geographic coordinates is stored in a memory such that surface detail of the objects increases from a base model layer to an uppermost model layer . digital data layers stored in the memory that encompass digital coordinates corresponding with the geographic coordinates . digital content for augmenting scenes is stored on pre - selected digital data layers at pre - selected digital coordinates on those layers . one or more of the digital data layers are logically linked with one or more of the model layers . when the location and spatial orientation of a mobile device in which a scene is viewed is received , the digital content on the digital data layer logically linked to one of the model layers is transmitted over a wireless communication channel to the mobile device .
