Identifying a Place of Interest on a Physical Object Through its 3D Model in Augmented Reality View

Various embodiments of the teachings herein include a method for identifying at least one place of interest on a physical object within a physical environment using augmented reality and a 3D model of the physical object. The method may include: aligning, in an augmented reality view, the 3D model with the physical object within the physical environment; determining motion data by tracking at least one gesture of a user related to the physical object; and identifying the at least one place of interest by determining at least one intersection point of said at least one gesture and the physical object. The at least one intersection point is determined by using at least one virtual proximity sensor comprised by the 3D model in relation to the motion data.
