Claims10
An electronic system, comprising:
- electronics on a rifle that capture information about a person that includes an image of the person and a location of the person when the rifle is pointed at the person;
- one or more processors that build, from the information about the person, a map that includes a virtual image of the person at the location of the person;
- and
- a wearable electronic device (WED) worn on a head of a user that displays the virtual image of the person at the location over an obstructing object that blocks the user wearing the WED from seeing the person, wherein the virtual image of the person is displayed on a display of the WED where the person would be visible to the user through the WED if the person were not obstructed by the obstructing object, wherein the virtual image of the person being displayed on the display of the WED moves in real-time with the movements of the person while the person is obstructed by the obstructing object to the user.

- receive, at a computer, information captured with electronics on a rifle of a first user at a geographical location, with the information including an image of the person, a distance to the person, and a direction to the person;
- determine, with the computer and from the information, a location of the person in relation to a wearable electronic device (WED) worn on a head of a second user at the geographical location;
- display, with the WED at the geographical location and while being pointed in a direction of the person, a virtual image of the person over an obstructing object, wherein the virtual image is displayed where the person would be visible through the WED to the second user if the person were not obstructed by the obstructing object;
- and
- move, while the virtual image of the person is being displayed with the WED and while the obstructing object obstructs the second user from seeing the person with a naked eye, the virtual image of the person in synchronization to coincide with movements of the person.
