Extended Reality (XR) is an immersive technology that combines the real and virtual worlds and is being actively researched across various industries. This study proposes a method for utilizing the Meta Quest 3, a head-mounted display (HMD) that provides mixed reality, outdoors for the first time by leveraging the GPS information from a smartphone. Augmented virtual objects are positioned using location information and the orientation. Additionally, by using the features of the Meta Quest 3, virtual objects are made to appear alongside the real world, allowing users to interact with virtual objects through hand gestures. This study aims to link present and past spaces by using location information and photographs on the HMD, providing a novel experience of freely traversing time and space.
