1. A method for providing an augmented reality comprising:
- capturing a real image from information contained in a visible light;
generating a virtual image from the captured image;
displaying on an augmented reality device a view selected from the group consisting of the real image and the virtual image;
displaying the view of the real image in response to detection of a motion; and
displaying the view of the virtual image in the absence of detected motion.

12. An augmented reality device comprising:
-
a light source for illuminating a space, the visible light containing space information; a camera for capturing a real image from information in the visible light; a motion detector for detecting motion within the space; an augmented reality application for generating a virtual image from the captured real image; a display for displaying a view selected from the group consisting of the real image and the virtual image; a processor operatively coupled to the light source, the camera, the motion detector, and the display;
the processor executing an instance of the augmented reality application to generate the virtual image;wherein the processor is configured by the augmented reality application to activate the light source and the camera and deactivate the virtual reality generator in response to a signal from the motion detector indicating motion; wherein the processor is configured to deactivate the light source and the camera and activate the virtual reality generator in response to the absence of motion. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
