1. A method comprising: obtaining a digital image of an object with a digital camera; identifying the object; receiving a user query; matching, with at least one processor, the user query with at least one manipulatable portion of a virtual view of the digital image of the object; obtaining the at least one manipulatable portion from a database of manipulatable portions of the object; integrating the at least one manipulatable portion with the virtual view of the digital image of the object, wherein a manipulatable portion comprises a region of an augmented-reality element integrated into the virtual view of the digital image of the object, and wherein the augmented-reality element comprises a hyper link to another augmented-reality element comprising a virtual interior view of the object, wherein a user accesses the other augmented-reality element by performing a predefined user hand gesture with respect to a location of the object as a region wherein the object is represented with a computerized-user interface that corresponds to the at least one manipulatable portion, and wherein the digital camera obtains the predefined user hand gesture, and wherein the other augmented-reality element comprising a virtual interior view of the object is obtained by: displaying, with a computer display, the at least one manipulatable portion in the virtual view of the digital image of the object and the augmented-reality element; determining that a second user previously performed the predefined user hand gesture with respect to the location of the object that corresponds to the augmented-reality element; generating a social graph that includes the user and the second user, wherein the user and the second user are linked in the social graph; and annotating the augmented-reality element to include information about the social graph.
