Orienteering using a smart device. The smart device is operative to identify a position within a building and use fine-grain location monitoring to guide a user to a desired location. Upon reaching the desired location, the user can point the smart device at a wall or component and learn, query, or supplement technical details and other information about the wall or component. Technical details and other information are stored in an augmented virtual model of the building. Movement of the smart device, combined with fine-grain location monitoring, establishes a vector that is used as a directional query of the augmented virtual model. This allows easy contextual data entry into complex data structures with minimal user training. Additionally, an agent external to a building may receive information related to the building based upon a position and indicated direction of interest.
