A system and a method of position and orientation determination use an image capturing device and position and orientation sensors in user equipment such as a head mounted device 'HMD'. The method may comprise receiving position measurements from the position sensor and receiving a selection of one or more anchors based on said position measurements including the position of each anchor. The position and orientation measurements may be used to determine whether any selected anchor is visible to said image capturing device based on said position and orientation measurements. Then the image capturing device may be activated to capture an image including said one or more anchors when a selected anchor is visible. The image may be analyzed to determine the position and orientation of the image capturing device relative to the one or more anchors.

A system and a method are provided for selecting a site for displaying information to a user in a geographical area including a plurality of sites at which information may be displayed. Position, orientation and optionally gaze direction data are received from headsets worn by a plurality of users in the geographical area. The data is analyzed to determine for each site a probability of the site being viewed by users in said geographical area. A request is received for a selection of a site at which to display information to a particular user wearing a headset. The request identifies the headset and includes position of said particular user. In response to a request, a site is selected based on the analysis and signal identifying the selected site is output.

Stabilization and display of remote images

A wearable system is shown that presents one or more heads-up displays to the wearer. A data source provides information to an image generator that is sufficient to generate one or more display images, which are still or moving, characters or graphical displays. The output image from the image generator passes through a lens, reflects off a curved mirror, and passes back through the lens the other way. The image then passes through two lenses, between which an intermediate image exists. The image reflects off the 'lens,' or visor, of the glasses and proceeds to the pupil of the wearer's eye. Alternative embodiments use a helmet visor, mirror, or other (at least partially) reflective surface for the final reflection.
