Abstract
Systems, apparatuses, and/or methods to augment reality. An object identifier may identify an object in a field of view of a user that includes a reflection of the user from a reflective surface, such as a surface of a traditional mirror. In addition, a reality augmenter may generate an augmented reality object based on the identification of the object. In one example, eyeglasses including a relatively transparent display screen may be coupled with an image capture device on the user and the augmented reality object may be observable by the user on the transparent display screen when the user wears the eyeglasses. A localizer may position the augmented reality object on the transparent display screen relative to the reflection of the user that passes though the transparent display screen during natural visual perception of the reflection by the user.
