Virtual object orientation and visualization

A see though head mounted display apparatus, comprising:

• a see through head mounted display;
• and
• a processor coupled to the head mounted display, the processor programmed to
• receive rendering location data for a perspective-locked shared virtual object created by a capture device, the rendering location data including at least one of each of an allowable location, an allowable position, and an allowable orientation, the allowable location, allowable position, and allowable orientation permitting rendering of the shared virtual object in the head mounted display, the rendering location data matching that of a capture device used to create the shared virtual object;
• determine a location, a position and an orientation of the see through head mounted display device;
• and
• if the location, position and orientation of the head mounted display device are proximate to the allowable location, allowable position, and allowable orientation, render the shared virtual object in the see through head mounted display.

An apparatus for creating a shared virtual object, comprising:

• a capture device;
• a processing device coupled to the capture device, the processing device programmed to perform a method comprising the steps of:
• determining a position of the capture device;
• determining a global coordinate location, position and orientation of the capture device;
• capturing a shared perspective-locked virtual object including creating shared virtual object rendering data, the data including rendering location data for the shared virtual object, the rendering location data including at least a global coordinate location, and at least one position and at least one orientation for the virtual object with respect to a local coordinate system within a field of view of a consumption device;
• and
• sharing the shared perspective-locked virtual object.
