Abstract
A method of displaying an augmented reality (AR) image includes controlling an AR display to display the AR image as being at least partially overlaid over a view through a microscope while the view is visible to a user of the microscope, wherein the AR image includes a cursor; receiving a user input from a user interface; setting an anchor point based on the user input; updating the AR image to include the anchor point; controlling the AR display to display the updated AR image; detecting a motion of a slide of the microscope; adjusting the AR image by moving at least one from among the cursor and the anchor point within the AR image based on the detected motion; and controlling the AR display to display the adjusted AR image.
