Multi-space connected virtual data objects

A see-through head mounted display device including a display and a processor, the processor coupled to a storage device, comprising:

• code instructing the processor to determine geo-located positions of points of interest within a field of view of a user in an environment and calculate positions of associated markers indicating information regarding an associated point of interest is available to the user;
• code instructing the processor to render the markers in the display relative to the geo-located position and the field of view of the user to the geo-located position, each marker presenting a representation of a source of the information associated with the marker;
• code instructing the processor to detect a selection of a marker from a user by a user gesture in the field of view which intersects a perceived position of the marker to the user;
• code instructing the processor to display a near-field virtual object having a visual tether to the marker simultaneously with the marker in the field of view, the near-field virtual object displaying the information associated with the marker.

A see-through head mounted display device, comprising:

• a display positionable proximate to a wearers eyes;
• and
• a processor, the processor programmed to
• determine positions of virtual object markers within a field of view of the display, the markers indicating information regarding a point of interest associated with a point of interest is accessible;
• render the markers in the display, the markers representative of a geo-located position of the point of interest and a perspective of a user to the geo-located position, each marker presenting icon representing a source of the information;
• detect a selection of a marker from a user by a user gesture in the field of view;
• responsive to the selection, render a virtual object occupying a majority of the field of view of the display, the virtual object having a visual tether to the marker simultaneously displayed with the marker and the virtual object in the field of view, the virtual object displaying the information associated with the marker and one or more apparent controls to manipulate the information.
