Augmented reality system and method
First Claim
1. An augmented reality system comprising:
- a camera for capturing an image, the camera being movably located at a local site, a registering unit, generating graphics and registering the generated graphics to the image from the camera, to provide a composite augmented reality image, a display device located at a remote site, physically separated from the local site, for displaying a view comprising the composite augmented reality image, and a communication link, for communication of information between the local and the remote site, wherein the system further comprises a specifying unit, for specification of a position and an orientation in the remote site, the camera is arranged such that its position and orientation is dependent on the specified position and orientation, and the registering unit is adapted for registering the generated graphics to the image in dependence of the specified position and orientation.

Abstract
An augmented reality system comprising: a camera (19) for capturing an image, the camera being movably locatee at a local site, a registering unit (9), generating graphics and registering the generated graphics to the image from the camera, to provide a composite augmented reality image, a display device (5) located at a remote site, physically separated from the local site, for displaying a view comprising the composite augmented reality image, and a communication link (1), for communication of information between the local and the remote site, and a specifying unit (7), for specification of a position and an orientation in the remote site. The registering unit is adapted for registering the generated graphical representation to the image in dependence of the specified position and orientation, and the camera is arranged such that its position and orientation is dependent on the specified position and orientation.

15. A method for remotely displaying an augmented reality view comprising graphical information overlaid an image captured at a local site, the method comprising:
-
specifying a position and an orientation at a remote site that is physically separated from the local site, positioning and orientating a camera, located at the local site, according to the specified position and orientation, obtaining an image from the camera, generating graphics, generating a composite augmented reality image based on the image, the graphics, and the specified position and orientation, and displaying a view comprising the composite augmented reality image. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)
