Abstract
The present invention relates to a method and an arrangement for superimposing an image on a direct image of the surroundings in order to be displayed to an observer ( ). To generate the image which is to be superimposed on the direct image of the surroundings use is made of a line transmitter ( ) for transmitting two-dimensional image information in linear form and a converter ( ) for converting the image information in linear form into a two-dimensional image. The line transmitter ( ) is located in a different direction from the image of the surroundings of the observer, and a direction-changing means ( ) is arranged so as to angle the radiation from the line transmitter in a direction towards the eyes ( ) of the observer ( ). According to the invention the converter ( ) is separate from the line transmitter and arranged in proximity to the direction-changing means.
