Abstract: A head mounted display system with video-see-through (VST) is taught. The system and method process video images captured by at least two forward facing video cameras mounted to the headset to produce generated images whose viewpoints correspond to the viewpoint of the user if the user was not wearing the display system. By generating VST images which have viewpoints corresponding to the user's viewpoint, errors in sizing, distances and positions of objects in the VST images are prevented.

Abstract: A system and method for inspection maintenance and/or diagnosis of a variety of workpieces is provided. The system serves workers working on a workpiece, inspectors who are distal from the workers and/or can be used for remote training or for advanced diagnosis and/or repair. The system preferably includes a template of a set of one or more predefined required images of a workpiece required by an inspector to perform their inspection or diagnosis. The set of predefined required images is provided to the worker. The worker captures the images with an appropriate workpiece data capture device and provides them to the inspector for review. The inspector examines the provided images and either approves the workpiece based on their content, requests additional images for further examination and/or provides annotations and other information to the worker to address identified issues. The system maintains a database of all images and information.
