Abstract
A method generates and superposes virtual images to an existing image in order to show special effects. Images are generated depending on the relative position of one or more subjects viewing the existing image. The images are generated in order to see an augmented reality. The subjects are people located near a transparent support such as a screen or a window. These people watch the augmented reality through the screen/window. The virtual objects on the screen are created in such a way as to give a realistic impression for different people watching the same screen/window at the same time, thereby generating virtual images in order to create an augmented reality for one or many viewers watching the same real objects at the same time.
