System and method for displaying a structural data image in real-time correlation with moveable body
First Claim
1. A method for displaying a moveable body in real time in three spatial dimensions, the method comprising the steps of:
- continuously tracking the position of said body, an observer, and a display unit relative to each other;
continuously calculating a three-dimensional perspective projection of an image data representation of said body using data from the position tracking step; and
displaying said projection of said image data representation on a display device to correlate the data representation to a perception of the body by the observer, said correlation comprising;
matching the position, perspective, and scale of the data representation to those of a three-dimensional structural image of the body by detecting the body and presenting the structural image to the perception of the observer; and
displaying the data representation on a transparent display device positioned between the structural image of the body and the observer.

Abstract
A system and method including a transparent display positioned between an object and an observer on which displays a superimposed data image transformed from structural data by calculating the parameters of a three dimensional matrix with information collected from position sensors. The mathematical parameters of the three dimensional matrix are defined in order to transform the structural image data into the perspective display data. Once the parameters of the three dimensional matrix are established, any points of the structural image can be shown on the display as a virtual image corresponding to the points on the object in real time.
