Generating in a gaze tracking device augmented reality representations for objects in a user line-of-sight

A system for providing information on objects to render on a user operated gaze tracking device, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therein that executes to perform operations, the operations comprising:
• determining user coordinates of a user position and coordinates of an axis of a line-of-sight of the user from the gaze tracking device;
• requesting object information based on the user position and the coordinates of the axis of the line-of-sight from a map database to cause a query at the map database to determine object information for objects along the axis of the line-of-sight at determined distances from the user position;
• receiving the object information indicating objects along the axis of the line-of-sight at different distances from the user position, including a first object in the line-of-sight that is visible to the user at a first distance from the user position and at least one additional object, wherein each of the at least one additional object is at a further distance from the user position than the first distance, wherein the object information includes descriptions of the objects, and wherein an obstructed object along the axis of the line-of-sight for which object information is received is not visible to the user from the user position on the axis of the line-of-sight as a result of being obstructed;
• and
• rendering the descriptions of the objects to the user in a view of the gaze tracking device along the axis of the line-of-sight including a description for the obstructed object.
