1. A method for providing an augmented image in a see-through head mounted display which includes a camera comprising:
- capturing a first image of a scene with the camera wherein the scene contains objects;
displaying the first image to a viewer;
capturing one or more additional image(s) of the scene with the camera in which the viewer indicates a misalignment between the displayed first image and a see-through view of the scene;
comparing the captured images to determine an image adjustment to align corresponding objects in the first image to the objects in the see-through view of the scene;

Abstract
This patent discloses a method for providing an augmented image in a see-through head mounted display. The method includes capturing an image of a scene containing objects and displaying the image to a viewer. The method also includes capturing one or more additional image(s) of the scene in which the viewer indicates a misalignment between the displayed image and a see-through view of the scene. The captured images are then compared to determine an image adjustment to align corresponding objects in displayed images to the objects in the see-through view of the scene. This method provides augmented image information that is displayed in correspondence to the image adjustments so the viewer sees an augmented image comprised of the augmented image information overlaid and aligned to the see-through view.
