    Abstract: An optical see-through head-mounted display device includes see-through lens which combines an augmented reality image with light from a real-world scene, while opacity filter is used to selectively block portions of the real-world scene so that the augmented reality image appears more distinctly. The opacity filter can be a see-through LCD panel, for instance, where each pixel of LCD panel can be selectively controlled to be transmissive or opaque, based on size, shape and position of the augmented reality image. Eye tracking can be used to adjust position of the augmented reality image and the opaque pixels. Peripheral regions of the opacity filter, which are not behind the augmented reality image, can be activated to provide a peripheral cue or representation of the augmented reality image. In another aspect, opaque pixels are provided at a time when an augmented reality image is not present.
