Abstract
A method of providing visual information to a human viewer includes the steps of defining a range of distances from a surface and a range of viewing angles with respect to the surface, determining the location and viewing angle of a human viewer with respect to the surface, and providing a virtual image to the human viewer via a visual display device worn by the human viewer when the location and viewing angle of the human viewer with respect to the surface is determined to be within the defined range of distances and viewing angles, such that the virtual image is perceived to be defined on the surface by the human viewer.

A method of providing visual information to a human viewer, the method comprising the steps of:
- a) defining a range of distances from a surface and a range of viewing angles with respect to the surface,
- b) determining the location and viewing angle of a human viewer with respect to the surface, and
- c) providing a virtual image to the human viewer via a visual display device worn by the human viewer when the location and viewing angle of the human viewer with respect to the surface is determined to be within the range of distances and viewing angles selected in step a), such that the virtual image is perceived by the human viewer to be within an area defined on the surface.
