Windows on the world: 2D windows for 3D augmented reality
Open accessAbstract
We describe the design and implementation of a prototype heads-up window system intended for use in a 3D environment.Our system includes a see-through head-mounted display that runs a full X server whose image is overlaid on the user's view of the physical world.The user's head is tracked so that the display indexes into a large X bitmap, effectively placing the user inside a display space that is mapped onto part of a surrounding virtual sphere.By tracking the user's body, and interpreting head motion relative to it, we create a portable information surround that envelopes the user as they move about.We support three kinds of windows implemented on top of the X server: windows fixed to the head-mounted display, windows fixed to the information surround, and windows fixed to locations and objects in the 3D world.Objects can also be tracked, allowing windows to move with them.To demonstrate the utility of this model, we describe a small hypermedia system that allows links to be made between windows and windows to be attached to objects.Thus, our hypermedia system can forge links between any combination of physical objects and virtual windows.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
