Augmenting reality for a user

A computer system for augmenting reality for a user, the apparatus comprising:

• one or more processors, one or more computer-readable memories, and one or more computer-readable tangible storage devices;
• program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, to create a model of a region of an environment of the user in a direction of a field of vision of the user;
• program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, to determine, in dependence upon the model of the region of the environment, that an object located within the environment is invisible to the user;
• program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, to determine, in dependence upon the direction of the field of vision, a location of the object, and the model of the region of the environment, a location to display a representation of the object on a transparent display in front of the field of vision;
• and
• program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, to display the representation of the object at the determined location on the transparent display in front of the field of vision.

A computer program product for augmenting reality for a user, the computer program product comprising:

• one or more computer-readable tangible storage devices;
• program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more storage devices, to create a model of a region of an environment of the user in a direction of a field of vision of the user;
• program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more storage devices, to determine, in dependence upon the model of the region of the environment, that an object located within the the environment is invisible to the user;
• program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more storage devices, to determine, in dependence upon the direction of the field of vision, a location of the object, and the model of the region of the environment, a location to display a representation of the object on a transparent display in front of the field of vision;
• and
• program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more storage devices, to display the representation of the object at the determined location on the transparent display in front of the field of vision.
