Abstract

A head mountable augmented reality see through near eye display system includes a see through augmented reality image focal distance modulator for changing a distance at which augmented reality images appear in focus and including at least one light transmissive surface through which real world objects are viewable. The system further includes a display for generating an augmented reality image and projecting the augmented reality image onto the see through augmented reality image focal distance modulator. The system further includes an augmented reality image focal distance controller for controlling the see through augmented reality image focal distance modulator to cause the augmented reality image to appear in focus a distance corresponding to a vergence distance and for changing the distance at which the augmented reality image appears to be in focus in correspondence with changes in the vergence distance.
