Waypoint navigator

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

recognizing, by a computing system, in an image captured by a camera of a computing device, a local waypoint using an image recognition technique;

determining, by the computing system, based on the local waypoint captured on the image, a location and an orientation of a user operating the computing device;

generating, by the computing system, based on the local waypoint and a context, a visual direction to a remote waypoint;

updating, by the computing system, the visual direction based on changes in the context; and

removing, by the computing system, the visual direction to the remote waypoint as a user moves between the local waypoint and the remote waypoint.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the context is at least one of a local context, a route context, or a remote context.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

displaying, by the computing system, the remote waypoint along with the visual direction to the remote waypoint.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the remote waypoint remains displayed as the user moves between the local waypoint and the remote waypoint.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

redisplaying, by the computing system, upon a request of the user, as the user moves between the local waypoint and the remote waypoint, the visual direction to the remote waypoint.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

providing an indicator to indicate a route information while navigating from the local waypoint to the remote waypoint.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 6 , wherein the route information includes at least one of a weather condition or a route condition.

8. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing system, cause the computing system to perform a method, comprising:

recognizing, in an image captured by a camera of a computing device, a local waypoint using an image recognition technique;

determining, based on the local waypoint captured on the image, a location and an orientation of a user operating the computing device;

generating, based on the local waypoint and a context, a visual direction to a remote waypoint;

updating the visual direction based on changes in the context; and

removing the visual direction to the remote waypoint as a user moves between the local waypoint and the remote waypoint.

9. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the context is at least one of a local context, a route context, or a remote context.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor of the computing system, further cause the computing system to perform:

displaying the remote waypoint along with the visual direction to the remote waypoint.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the remote waypoint remains displayed as the user moves between the local waypoint and the remote waypoint.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor of the computing system, further cause the computing system to perform:

redisplaying, upon a request of the user, as the user moves between the local waypoint and the remote waypoint, the visual direction to the remote waypoint.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor of the computing system, further cause the computing system to perform:

providing an indicator to indicate a route information while navigating from the local waypoint to the remote waypoint.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the route information includes at least one of a weather condition or a route condition.

15. A system, comprising:

at least one processor; and

a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to perform:

recognizing, in an image captured by a camera of a computing device, a local waypoint using an image recognition technique;

determining, based on the local waypoint captured on the image, a location and an orientation of a user operating the computing device;

generating, based on the local waypoint and a context, a visual direction to a remote waypoint;

updating the visual direction based on changes in the context; and

removing the visual direction to the remote waypoint as a user moves between the local waypoint and the remote waypoint.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the context is at least one of a local context, a route context, and a remote context.

17. The system of claim 15 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, further cause the system to perform:

displaying the remote waypoint along with the visual direction to the remote waypoint.

18. The system of claim 15 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, further cause the system to perform:

redisplaying, upon a request of the user, as the user moves between the local waypoint and the remote waypoint, the visual direction to the remote waypoint.

19. The system of claim 15 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, further cause the system to perform:

providing an indicator to indicate a route information while navigating from the local waypoint to the remote waypoint.

20. The system of claim 19 , wherein the route information includes at least one of a weather condition or a route condition.
