1. A head-mounted display, comprising:
- a see-through display configured to visually augment an appearance of a physical space to a user viewing the physical space through the see-through display;
one or more sensors configured to sense parameters of the physical space and output computer-readable observation information based on the sensed parameters;
a communication subsystem; and
a computer system configured to;
receive a video stream via the communication subsystem;
receive observation information of the physical space from the one or more sensors;
determine a screen-space position on the see-through display at which to present images of a virtual monitor playing the video stream, the screen-space position based on the observation information such that the virtual monitor appears to be integrated with the physical space to the user viewing the physical space through the see-through display; and
adjust the screen-space position of the images of the virtual monitor on the see-through display so that the virtual monitor appears to move relative to real-world objects within the physical space as perceived by the user viewing the physical space through the see-through display.

Abstract
A head-mounted display includes a see-through display and a virtual reality engine. The see-through display is configured to visually augment an appearance of a physical space to a user viewing the physical space through the see-through display. The virtual reality engine is configured to cause the see-through display to visually present a virtual monitor that appears to be integrated with the physical space to a user viewing the physical space through the see-through display.

12. A head-mounted display, comprising:
-
a see-through display configured to visually augment an appearance of a physical space to a user viewing the physical space through the see-through display; one or more sensors configured to sense parameters of the physical space and output computer-readable observation information based on the sensed parameters; a communication subsystem; and a computer system configured to; receive a video stream comprising 3D content via the communication subsystem; receive observation information of the physical space from the sensor subsystem; determine screen-space positions on the see-through display at which to present images of a virtual monitor playing the video stream, the screen-space positions based on the observation information such that the virtual monitor appears to be integrated with the physical space to the user viewing the physical space through the see-through display; and present the video stream on a display screen of the virtual monitor by presenting a first view of the 3D content to the user'"'"'s left eye at a first screen-space position on the see-through display, and a second view of the 3D content to the user'"'"'s right eye at a second screen-space position on the see-through display. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A method of augmenting reality, the method comprising:
-
receiving observation information of a physical space from one or more sensors; mapping a virtual reality environment to the physical space based on the observation information; receiving a video stream; displaying at a screen-space position of a see-through display a virtual monitor playing the video stream, the screen-space position based on the observation information such that the virtual monitor appears to be integrated with the physical space to a user viewing the physical space through the see-through display; and adjusting the screen-space position of the images of the virtual monitor on the see-through display so that the virtual monitor appears to move relative to real-world objects within the physical space as perceived by the user viewing the physical space through the see-through display.
