... types of augmented reality (AR) systems are: video see-through, and optical see-through. In a video see-through system the user sees a live video of the real world and sees objects augmented onto this video. For example, video see-through may be applied for use on a phone display. In contrast to a video see-through display to display AR [augmented reality] and a representation of the real world in a video display, in an optical see-through display, the user sees objects augmented directly onto the real-world. As described herein, optical see-through displays (OSDs) includes head mounted displays (HMDs). 4, record 1, English, - video%20see%2Dthrough%20head%20mounted%20display

Optical see-through head-mounted displays (OST-HMD) find myriads of applications from scientific visualization to defense applications, from medical visualization to engineering processes, and from training to entertainment. In mixed or augmented reality systems, OST-HMDs have been one of the basic vehicles for combining computer-generated virtual scene with the views of a real-world scene. Typically through an optical combiner, an OST-HMD maintains a direct view of the physical world and optically superimposes computer-generated images onto the real scene. Compared with a video see-through approach where the real-world views are captured through cameras, it has the advantage of introducing minimal degradation to the real world scene. Therefore an OST-HMD is preferred for applications where a non-blocked real-world view is critical. 1, record 2, English, - optical%20see%2Dthrough%20head%20mounted%20display

An augmented reality system comprises a real reference generator for displaying a real reference on a calibration screen, an optical see-through display having a fixed position with respect to the real reference generator and a virtual reference generator for displaying a virtual reference on the optical see-through display. The augmented reality system further comprises an input device for aligning a view of the virtual reference with a view of the real reference through the optical see-through display, wherein the virtual reference is moved on the optical see-through display, and a processor for determining one or more parameters for rendering a virtual object as part of a real scene seen through the optical see-through display. 4, record 2, English, - optical%20see%2Dthrough%20head%20mounted%20display
