Abstract
A head mountable display system includes a visual image system, a head mountable display device including a display screen, and a headset pose sensor system. A controller is configured to generate a camera image based upon the image data, generate an augmented reality overlay based upon the position and the orientation of the operator's head relative to the work site, determine an image to be rendered on the head mountable display based upon the camera image and the augmented reality overlay, and render the image on the display screen.
