Abstract
An information reproducing apparatus includes a display unit and processing unit. The information reproducing apparatus has a position determining device configured to determine the position and alignment of the apparatus and to supply a first signal representing the position and a second signal representing the alignment to the processing unit. The processing unit retrieves information on objects from a database and processes the information. The database includes a plurality of information on objects of locations within a predefined spatial environment. The processing unit determines information for the current alignment of the apparatus on objects in the direction of the alignment of the apparatus and the display unit displays the information.
