Abstract
A system and method are presented for alerting a head mounted display (HMD) user to real-world objects. The HMD includes a controller, an internal display, and an external sensor. One or more characteristics of an object in a vicinity of the user are detected, using the external sensor. It is determined whether a detected characteristic matches a predefined criterion, and, if so, an alert is displayed to the user on the internal display.
