A head-mounted display provides a user with an augmented view of an object being viewed; a tracking mechanism such as a camera repeatedly determine the position and orientation of the head-mounted display relative the object being viewed; and a computer system provides information for the augmented view and repeatedly updates the augmented view of the object being viewed based on the determined position and orientation of the display. The head-mounted display may be a see-through display; it may be video-based or optical-based, and it may be monoscopic and stereoscopic. The tracking mechanism determines its position using one or more markers or beacons on the object being viewed. The markers may be active or passive, including light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that emit invisible light.

System and method to display maintenance and operational instructions of an apparatus using augmented reality

Systems and methods for collecting and recording video data and inertial motion unit (IMU) data associated with the video data representative of a path of traversal, transmitting the video data and IMU data associated with the video data to a rescue device that includes a display, and subsequently replaying the video data on the display of the rescue device along with viewable indicia, based on the IMU data associated with the video data, that is indicative of the motion of a user when the video data was collected and recorded.

Emergency rescue system and method having video and IMU data synchronization

Systems and methods for providing relative tracking for a user in an unprepared environment, e.g., in the field. A larger mobile unit, such as a truck, is tracked precisely in world coordinates using GPS and/or other tracking technology. A smaller mobile object or unit is then tracked with respect to the larger mobile unit. The tracking information of the smaller mobile object or unit is then combined with the tracking of the larger mobile unit such that the tracking of the smaller mobile object or unit can be provided in world coordinates. The relative tracking methodology has particular utility in the field of augmented reality where precise tracking in an unprepared environment may be desirable, but where a smaller mobile object may not be able to be tracked directly and precisely in world coordinates.

Method and system for relative tracking

A system and method are provided for visualizing a scene that is monitored for substance contamination. The scene is scanned with a substance detector to detect a substance, such as a harmful chemical or biological substance. The position of the substance is determined. Graphical element data that represents the detected substance in the scene is generated. A displayed view of the scene is augmented with the graphical element data based on the position of the detected substance to show the detected substance in the view of the scene and provide the user with the location and type of detected substance shown with reference to the environment.
