Claim 18:
19. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processing device, causes the processing device to perform operations associated with expedient determination of a location of a coordinate point of interest (POI) in a bounded 3-dimensional (3D) environment, the operations comprising:
creating an initial map comprising unique characteristics associated with a bounded physical environment in response to a request by a user via a computing device;
performing object recognition analysis to determine labels associated with objects using image recognition processing based at least on a user command to locate one or more objects of interest and the unique characteristics associated with the bounded physical environment;
generating a world map representation with editable object tags associated with the one or more objects of interest and the unique characteristics associated with the bounded physical environment;
providing navigation instructions to guide the user via the computing device to an object of interest selected from the one or more objects of interest based on a distance analysis of a current location of the computing device to a destination location of the computing device;
determining horizontal and vertical rotational angles from an initial position of a laser pointer device to a position of the object of interest, the laser pointer device positioned at the initial position and configured to emit a laser beam;
generating control signals to the anchor node device to rotate a plurality of servomotors based on the horizontal and vertical rotational angles in relation to the initial position;
processing the control signals to rotate the plurality of servomotors according to the control signals such that the laser pointer device is rotated from the initial position in one or more of (x, y, z) coordinate-based directional angles to the object of interest; and
generating the laser beam via the laser pointer device that targets the object of interest for expedient determination of the coordinate point of interest (POI) associated with the object of interest that is associated with the destination location of the computing device.
