Progression

• Started with bulky head-worn displays backpack
  computers
• Turned into glasses, now cellphones (Magic
  Mirror)
• See-through with masking and overlays vs. fully
  regenerated video
• Someday the contact lens display

  con.html
• Its all about registration
• Initially indoor work with Polehemis/Ascension
  Flock
• HITLAB AR-Toolkit and its derivatives changed
  everything
• Feiniers outdoor work with GPS, compass, IMU
• Now GPS-constrained computer vision is the way
