Abstract
The invention relates to a system and method inside an augmented reality system for visually displaying simulation results in a mixed virtual-real environment. The system and method permit one or more users to carry out simulation processes in the context of a real environment, particularly in the field of industrial automation systems and to visually display their static and dynamic results in the contest of the real environment. Processes running in the real environment are detected and synchronized with the simulation. A control unit enables a reciprocal influencing of real processes with the simulation. In addition, the user can control the execution of the simulation via a user interface.

19. A system for presenting information to at least one user, comprising:
-
at least one recording unit for scanning an environment and for generating corresponding environment information identifying a position or an orientation of the system relative to the environment;
at least one simulation system for generating simulation data; and
at least one processing unit configured to;
continuously adapt image data stored in a first memory based upon the simulation data; and
link the environment information to the adapted image data. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)
