1. An augmented display apparatus, comprising:
- a see-through, head mounted display;
a plurality of sensors detecting visual information in a field of view of the apparatus;
one or more processing devices in communication with the see-through, head mounted display and the sensors, the one or more processing devices automaticallyidentify food items proximate to the apparatus;
track consumption of one or more of the food items of a wearer wearing the apparatus;
determine feedback information for the one or more of the food items identified and relevant to the wearer of the apparatus before consumption of one or more of the food items, the feedback information based on social feedback information for the food items from a social network provided by one or more friends of the wearer; and
render the feedback information as a virtual object, based on the social feedback information and prior to consumption, in the see-through, head mounted display.

Abstract
A see-through, head mounted display and sensing devices cooperating to provide feedback on food items detected in the device field of view. Feedback can include warnings based on personal wearer needs, general nutrition information, food consumption tracking and social interactions. The system includes one or more processing devices in communication with display and the sensors which identify food items proximate to the apparatus, determine feedback information relevant to a wearer of the apparatus; and render feedback information in the display.

10. A see-through, head mounted display device including a processor and computer readable storage, the storage including computer readable instructions when executed by the processor performing a method comprising:
-
receiving input from a plurality of sensors mounted on the see-through, head mounted display device, the sensors mounted to detect image data in a field of view of the see-through, head mounted display device and wearer gaze of the see-through, head mounted display device; identifying food items proximate to the see-through, head mounted device based on the image data and the wearer gaze; accessing social feedback information for the one or more food items from a social network, the social feedback information based on social media information from one or more friends of a wearer concerning one or more of the food items identified; detecting consumption of one or more of the food items identified and generating consumption feedback information for the one or more of the food items identified; and providing the social feedback information and the consumption feedback information on the food items for display in the see-through, head mounted display device as virtual objects, each of the feedback information together identifiable with one or more of the food items. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method for providing nutritional feedback for food items in a field of view of a see-through, head mounted display system, comprising:
-
determining a location, orientation and the field of view for the see-through, head mounted display system; determining whether third party data is available for the location and if so, associating the third party data with the location, the third party data including food identification data and nutritional information for food items from a social network; evaluating sensor data from the see-through, head mounted display system to identify food items proximate to the system, the evaluating using the third party data acquired from the social network; determining nutritional feedback information matching one or more of the food items identified and relevant to a wearer of the system; detecting consumption of at least a portion of the one or more food items by the wearer; and providing nutritional feedback based on the third party data for at least one of the food items and the consumption to the wearer in the see-through, head mounted display system as a virtual object. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
