主权项

1. A method comprising:
determining, with a processor, a position of a mobile terminal relative to an index image generated by a near eye display of a user, wherein the mobile terminal comprises an electronic computation device comprising a display, wherein the near eye display is configured to be worn by the user, wherein the index image appears to be at a location further from the near eye display than the mobile terminal that is positioned between the near eye display and the location at which the index image appears, and wherein determining the position of the mobile terminal relative to the index image comprises determining the position of the mobile terminal relative to the index image based upon an image of one of the mobile terminal or the near eye display captured by a camera of the other of the mobile terminal or the near eye display; determining an image to be presented by the display of the mobile terminal based upon the index image and the position of the mobile terminal relative to the index image, wherein determining the image to be presented by the display of the mobile terminal comprises determining a portion of the index image that is visually aligned with the mobile terminal from a perspective of the user; and causing the image to be presented by the mobile terminal itself upon the display of the mobile terminal with the image being based on the portion of the index image that is visually aligned with the mobile terminal from the perspective of the user.
