Abstract

A display apparatus and a method of displaying, via the display apparatus. The display apparatus includes an image source, a processor configured to render an image at the image source, at least one optical combiner for combining a projection of the rendered image with a projection of a real world image, a first polarizing element for polarizing the projection of the real world image at a first polarization orientation, wherein the first polarizing element is positioned on a first side of the at least one optical combiner upon which the projection of the real world image is incident, and a second polarizing element facing a second side of the at least one optical combiner, polarization properties of the second polarizing element being adjustable, wherein the polarization properties of the second polarizing element are to be adjusted with respect to the first polarization orientation of the first polarizing element.
