Due to the lack of a generic platform for location- and
spatial-aware systems, many basic services have to be reimplemented
in each application that uses spatial-awareness. A cooperation among
different applications is also difficult to achieve without a common
platform. In this paper we present a platform that solves these
problems. It provides an infrastructure that is based on computer
models of regions of the physical world, which are augmented by
virtual objects. We show how virtual objects make the integration of
existing information systems and services in spatial-aware systems
easier. Furthermore, our platform supports interactions between the
computer models and the real world and integrates single models in a
global "Augmented World''.
