1. A device for augmenting a real-world scene in view of a user, comprising:
a processor configured to:
determine a real-world place in the real-world scene based on a location associated with the user;
determine a previously captured photographic image that depicts the real-world place, wherein the previously captured photographic image that depicts the real-world place is determined based on the location associated with the user;
determine a familiarity score associated with how familiar the user is with the previously captured photographic image that depicts the real-world place, wherein the determination of the familiarity score is based at least on a determination of an amount of instances the user interacted with media associated with the previously captured photographic image that depicts the real-world place;
determine that the familiarity score is above a threshold;
determine to overlay the previously captured photographic image that depicts the real-world place over at least a part of the real-world place in the real-world scene based at least on the determination that the familiarity score is above the threshold and the location associated with the user; and
display, via the device, the previously captured photographic image that depicts the real-world place overlaid over at least the part of the real-world place in the real-world scene.
