Embodiments for interacting with an executable virtual object associated with a real object are disclosed. In one example, a method for interacting with an executable virtual object associated with a real object includes receiving sensor input from one or more sensors attached to the portable see-through display device, and obtaining information regarding a location of the user based on the sensor input. The method also includes, if the location includes a real object comprising an associated executable virtual object, then determining an intent of the user to interact with the executable virtual object, and if the intent to interact is determined, then interacting with the executable object.

Executable virtual objects associated with real objects

A see-through head mounted-display and method for operating the display to optimize performance of the display by referencing a user profile automatically. The identity of the user is determined by performing an iris scan and recognition of a user enabling user profile information to be retrieved and used to enhance the user's experience with the see through head mounted display. The user profile may contain user preferences regarding services providing augmented reality images to the see-through head-mounted display, as well as display adjustment information optimizing the position of display elements in the see-though head-mounted display.

Improving display performance with iris scan profiling

Embodiments are disclosed that relate to the recognition via a see-through display system of an object displayed on an external display device at which a user of the see-through display system is gazing. For example, one embodiment provides a method of operating a see-through display system comprising acquiring an image of an external display screen located in the background scene via an outward facing image sensor, determining via a gaze detection subsystem a location on the external display screen at which the user is gazing, obtaining an identity of an object displayed on the external display screen at the location determined, and performing an action based upon the identity of the object.

Recognition of image on external display

A method is disclosed for stitching together first and second sets of images from three or more image sensors. The first set of images are combined into a composite left view of the panorama, and the second set of images are combined into a composite right view of the panorama. When properly stitched together, the left and right views may be presented as a stereoscopic view of the panorama. A stitching algorithm is applied which removes any disparity due to the parallax in the combined left images and in the combined right images.
