1. A method comprising:
detecting, by a processing system including at least one processor, a user context from a visual feed and from location information of the processing system, wherein the user context is detected from among a plurality of defined user contexts, wherein the processing system comprises a processing system of a mobile endpoint device, wherein the visual feed is obtained from a camera of the mobile endpoint device;
activating, by the processing system, an object model for locating an object captured in the visual feed, wherein the object model is activated in response to the detecting the user context from the visual feed;
locating, by the processing system, the object via the visual feed in accordance with the object model; and
providing, by the processing system, an enhanced indication of the object via an augmented reality display of the mobile endpoint device.
