A system and method for visualization of physical characteristics are described. A server identifies a physical object detected by a device and accesses a measurement of a first physical characteristic of the physical object from a first sensor associated with the physical object. The first sensor is coupled to the physical object. The server generates a first virtual content that represents the measurement of the first physical characteristic of the physical object. The first virtual content is communicated to the device to display the first virtual content at a first position corresponding to the first physical characteristic of the physical object in a display of the device.
