8. The HMD of claim 1 , wherein the at least one virtual display is presented on the see-through display as an additional object that is superimposed over the physical display in the real-world scene from a visual perspective of the user.

9. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

generating, with a Head Mounted Display (HMD), at least one virtual display;

presenting the at least one virtual display on the HMD, wherein the HMD is configured to enable a user to view the at least one virtual display and a physical display in a real-world scene, wherein the at least one virtual display is presented on the HMD as an additional object in the real-world scene, and wherein the at least one virtual display is used in conjunction with the physical display to present a first computer-generated information in a first extended desktop from a visual perspective of the user, the first extended desktop comprising a first portion assigned to the physical display and a second portion assigned to the at least one virtual display;

determining if the physical display is in a field of vision of the HMD; and

presenting the first computer-generated information in a second extended desktop comprising a third portion assigned to the at least one virtual display that represents the first portion, if the physical display is not in the field of vision of the HMD to continue viewing the first computer-generated information after the removal of physical display from the field of vision.

10. The computer-implemented method of claim 9 , wherein the first computer-generated information is presented in the first extended desktop while the physical display is in a field of vision of the HMD.

11. The computer-implemented method of claim 9 , further comprising:
