1. An augmented reality system, comprising:

  • an image sensor arranged to capture images of an object in a user-interaction region;

    a display device which is at least partially transparent and arranged to combine a displayed virtual environment with a view of the user-interaction region, such that both the virtual environment and the object are concurrently visible to a viewing user using the display device;

    a processor arranged to receive the images, calculate a corresponding position within the virtual environment that is visually aligned with position of the object when viewed by the viewing user using the display device, and control the display device to update the virtual environment based on the corresponding position to enable an interaction with the virtual environment by a touch or gesture of the user, the processor being further arranged to selectively control the display device to render black pixels at locations in the virtual environment that are coincident with at least one hand of the user.
