Abstract: An approach is provided for determining location offset information. A correction manager determines to present, at a device, a location-based display including one or more representations of one or more location-based features. Next, the correction manager receives an input for specifying offset information for at least one of the one or more representations with respect to the location-based display. Then, the correction manager determines to present the one or more representations in the location-based display based, at least in part, on the offset information.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed toward enabling a user to quickly interact with a graphical user interface (GUI) displayed by the HMD. Utilizing techniques provided herein, a hand or other object can be used to select visual elements displayed by the HMD. The visual elements can be located within larger active regions, allowing the user to more easily select a visual element by selecting the active region in which the visual element is disposed.

Abstract: Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for providing intuitive, functional, and convenient ways of enabling a user of a head-mounted display unit or another augmented reality enabled device to interact with various user interfaces and other features provided by such a unit or device are presented. In some embodiments, a computing device, such as a head-mounted display unit, may receive camera input of a scene. Subsequently, the computing device may identify at least one reference object in the scene, for example, based on detecting one or more rectangles in the received camera input. The computing device then may receive input that defines a surface segment relative to the at least one reference object. Thereafter, the computing device may render the surface segment.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed toward allowing a see-through HMD to intelligently react to sensor and other input to adjust how visual elements showing video are displayed. The HMD can react to different sensor input in different ways, enabling the HMD to provide graduated responses based on the degree and type of sensor input received. These responses may further be based on a determination of the context of the user to help ensure an intelligent, appropriate response.
