Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for processing one or more items. The systems involve a data acquisition device and a display device. At least one data acquisition device and the display device may be mounted on frames having a see-through display and an orientation sensor. An item tracking system tracks the items to be processed. The orientation sensor determines the orientation and position of the wearer of the data acquisition device and the display device such that the wearer of the device may see information about or related to the items in the wearer'"'"'s field of view. In a see-through display, this information may appear to be proximately superimposed on the item. A method of using the invention includes viewing characteristic information about items on a display device and processing the items in accordance with the characteristic information.

15. A data acquisition and display device, comprising:
-
an image camera to capture image data about one or more items;
an active beacon detection device to capture orientation and position information about a wearer of the data acquisition and display device;
a see-through display to display information and instructions about at least one of the one or more items, said information and instructions appearing proximately superimposed on the item;
an inertial sensor, wherein the inertial sensor provides orientation information of the data acquisition and display device during movement of the data acquisition and display device; and
a local computer in communication with the image camera, active beacon detection device, see-through display, and inertial sensor, wherein the local computer decodes image data from the image camera, computes the orientation and position of the wearer of the data acquisition and display device from the orientation and position information captured by the active beacon detection device and the inertial sensor, and provides information and instructions to be displayed in the see-through display about at least one of the items in the field of view of the data acquisition and display device. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
