Abstract

A real environment during which a feedback between the position of the information and the projection thereof ensues with means for image processing and/or pattern recognition. The feedback ensues in such a manner that the information is positioned at a predetermined position in the real environment.

Claims (12)

1. A method for projecting synthetic information into a real environment, comprising:

generating a camera image of the real environment;

assigning the camera image to a model using means for image processing or pattern recognition;

calculating a position of the information using the model as a basis;

projecting the information into the environment; and

establishing a feedback via the camera image between the position of the information in the model and the projected position thereof in the camera image such that the information is positioned in the real environment at a position determined by the model.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a feedback between the visualization of the information and the projection thereof is established using the means for image processing such that mapping errors in the projection are corrected.

3. A mobile terminal device, comprising:

a camera; a projection unit for projecting synthetic information into a real environment; and

means for image processing or pattern recognition; wherein a camera image of the real environment is generated and assigned to a model using said means;

wherein a position of the information is calculated using the model as a basis and the information is projected into the environment, and wherein a feedback via the camera image between the position of the information in the model and the projected position thereof in the camera image is established such that the information is positioned in the real environment at a position predetermined by the model.

4. The terminal device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein a feedback between the visualization of the information and the projection thereof is established using the means for image processing such that mapping errors in the projection can be corrected.
