A virtual penetrating mirror (1) for visualizing at least one virtual object (5) within an augmented reality environment, with a tracking system (4) and a displaying device (3), is provided by means of visualizing an image of at least one virtual mirror, an image of the at least one virtual object and an image (16) of the virtual object reflected by the virtual mirror on the display (2). The virtual mirror (1) is movable by means of a tracked interaction device (11). The image of the virtual object reflected by the virtual mirror on display is displayed in-situ. The virtual mirror is able to reflect surfaces, rendered volumes and digitally reconstructed radiograph images. The virtual mirror is able to provide images of the virtual object reflected by the virtual mirror on display, in real time, whereby the virtual mirror or the virtual object or both of them are in movement with or without a varying view point (31). The virtual object with the related image of the virtual object reflected by virtual mirror on display is aligned and superimposed onto a real-time image of a real surrounding body (6). |
