Annotating the Real World with Knowledge-Based Graphics on a See-Through Head-Mounted Display
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe an experimental, knowledge-based, virtual-world system that uses a monocular "see-through" head-mounted display to overlay graphics on the user's view of the real world. In a simple equipment maintenance domain that we have developed, the overlaid graphics include 3D representations of actual physical objects, textual annotations and callouts, and virtual metaobjects, such as arrows. A set of 3D position and orientation sensors monitor the user's head and several of the objects in the world. Our system includes a knowledge-based graphics component that determines what information to present, a display-list-based display server that represents the models to be displayed, and a set of sensor servers that track the user and selected objects. The sensor servers directly modify the object transformations and viewing specification in the display list. The knowledge-based graphics component also receives the sensor data and uses it to redesign the information being presented.

Computer vision-based registration techniques for augmented reality
Augmented reality is a term used to describe systems in which computer-generated information is superimposed on top of the real world; for example, through the use of a see-through head-mounted display. A human user of such a system could still see and interact with the real world, but have valuable additional information, such as descriptions of important features or instructions for performin...
متن کاملA comparison of optical and video see-through head-mounted displays
One of the most promising and challenging future uses of head-mounted displays (HMDs) is in applications where virtual environments enhance rather than replace real environments. To obtain an enhanced view of the real environment, the user wears a see-through HMD to see 3D computergenerated objects superimposed on his/her real-world view. This see-through capability can be accomplished using ei...
متن کاملA Stereoscopic Video See-Through Augmented Reality System Based on Real-Time Vision-Based Registration
In an augmented reality system, it is required to obtain the position and orientation of the user’s viewpoint to display the composed image maintaining correct registration of real and virtual worlds. All the procedures must be done in real-time. This paper proposes a method for augmented reality with a stereo vision sensor and video see-through head mounted display. It can synchronize the disp...

Augmented reality (AR) is a technology in which a user’s view of the real world is enhanced or augmented with additional information generated from a computer model. In order to have a working AR system, the see-through display system must be calibrated so that the graphics is properly rendered. The optical see-through systems present an additional challenge because we do not have access to the...

Virtual worlds (a.k.a. virtual realities) are 3D computer-generated environments created through the use of high-performance computers, 3D interaction devices, and 3D display systems. Most of the virtual worlds systems that have been so well publicized over the past five years use head-mounted displays that block off the wearer from the surrounding real world, effectively immersing her within a...
