1. A method performed by a computer system, the method comprising:
capturing an image with a camera of a spatially aware device;
determining an address state of the spatially aware device associated with the capturing;
determining a time associated with the determined address state;
determining that access to a remote database is unavailable at the determined time;
subsequent to the determined time, determining that access to the remote database has become available;
in response to determining that access to the remote database has become available, querying the remote database using the determined address state and the determined time to identify a thing captured in the image and having a geographic location matching the determined address state at the determined time;
in response to identifying the thing, displaying the image in an interface of the spatially aware device; and
within the interface, presenting information related to a state of the thing at the determined time overlaid upon the image in positional relationship to the thing in the image.
