  • Patent number: 7948451
    Abstract: An interactive method of presenting information in an image to a user, who carries a head-mounted display device that presents an image of the surroundings. The user's head position and direction are established in relation to the surroundings and a calculating device establishes, based on this, which part of the surroundings is positioned in front of the user's head. Furthermore, the calculating device establishes where in a chain of information the user is positioned and, based on this, presents information in the form of a virtual image which is mixed with the real image. A central part of the image is then defined and fields and/or objects outside this area are shown in a non-disturbing way until the user's gaze has left the central part. The user informs the calculating device that he/she has received the information and, respectively, performed the current operations by looking at the fields/objects.

  • Publication number: 20080024392
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an interactive method of presenting information in an image to a user, who carries a head-mounted display device (2+5, 27), which presents an image of the surroundings (3, 9, 25). The method comprises that the user's head position and direction are established in relation to the surroundings and that a calculating device (7) establishes, based on this, which part of the surroundings is positioned in front of the user's head. Furthermore the calculating device establishes where in a hierarchical scheme the user is positioned as regards information about and performed operations concerning that part of the surroundings which is positioned in front of the user's head and, based on this, which information is to be presented to the user and presents this in the form of a virtual image which is mixed with the real image. The user studies the information and, where required, performs the current operations.
