Abstract

See full text

A computer receives animated images together with a real world image. The computer then superimposes the animated images onto the real world image. The result is a combined animated/real image which forms the virtual world. The combined image is capable of moving as the user's head moves. Thus, complicated virtual worlds may be created without the programming complexity which would result if the entire image were animated.
