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 1, 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 1, English, - optical%20see%2Dthrough%20head%20mounted%20display

Pour la visualisation du virtuel, on utilise des dispositifs d’affichages dédiés qui permettent alors de mixer réel et virtuel. On peut distinguer différentes classes de système : les affichages de type casque(HMD) : le système est couplé à la tête de l'utilisateur et ils se distinguent en deux catégories. Le casque dit semi-transparent optique(optical see-through HMD), constitué d’un écran LCD [affichage à cristaux liquides] couplé à un miroir semi-transparent dont le mixage réel et virtuel est fait par l'œil de l'utilisateur […]. Puis, on a le casque dit semi-transparent vidéo(video see-through HMD) dont le mixage est fait entre un rendu graphique et l'image provenant d’une caméra, ce mélange étant alors présenté à l'utilisateur […] 1, record 1, French, - casque%20semi%2Dtransparent%20optique
