More Information
Summary:Augmented reality apparatus comprises stereoscopic display apparatus, a computer interface, and a rendering module. The stereoscopic display apparatus is arranged to provide to a user of the augmented reality apparatus a view of a real-world environment in which the user is located. The display apparatus is configured to generate a stereoscopic image that is visible to the user simultaneously with the real-world view. The computer interface is configured to receive from a network externally generated 3D model data of the real-world environment in which the user is located. The rendering module is configured to use the externally generated 3D model data to control the display apparatus to render a virtual element in a manner such that it is perceived by the user as a 3D element located at a desired location in the real-world environment.
