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.
