Abstract

A system and method for generating a mixed-reality environment is provided. The system and method provides a user-worn sub-system communicatively connected to a synthetic object computer module. The user-worn sub-system may utilize a plurality of user-worn sensors to capture and process data regarding a user's pose and location. The synthetic object computer module may generate and provide to the user-worn sub-system synthetic objects based information defining a user's real world life scene or environment indicating a user's pose and location. The synthetic objects may then be rendered on a user-worn display, thereby inserting the synthetic objects into a user's field of view. Rendering the synthetic objects on the user-worn display creates the virtual effect for the user that the synthetic objects are present in the real world.
