Abstract
Rendered wireframe models of objects offered for sale can be downloaded and displayed as virtual objects in the context of the actual environment in which they will be actually used. The rendered models are located, scaled and oriented so that they appear exactly as a real object would appear when placed in the actual environment. A transparent display permits the environment to be viewed concurrently with display of the rendered wireframe model.
