Abstract
A method and system for providing an optical see-through Augmented Reality modified-scale display. This aspect includes a sensor suitewhich includes a compassan inertial measuring unitand a video camerafor precise measurement of a user's current orientation and angular rotation rate. A sensor fusion modulemay be included to produce a unified estimate of the user's angular rotation rate and current orientation to be provided to an orientation and rate estimate moduleThe orientation and rate estimate moduleoperates in a static or dynamic (prediction) mode. A render modulereceives an orientation; and the render moduleuses the orientation, a position from a position measuring systemand data from a databaseto render graphic images of an object in their correct orientations and positions in an optical display
