Field of view extension for augmented reality on binocular optical see-through head-mounted displays

This paper proposes a novel and efficient framework to extend the field of view in an augmented reality application using a binocular optical see-through head-mounted display. After the depths of virtual objects are estimated using a feature point-based tracker, the virtual objects are rendered to be displayed onto either of the screens if they are positioned in the overlap-area of the two monocular views. The proposed method avoids conventional problems, such as doubled visions and luminance boundaries.
