Abstract: Disclosed are methods and devices for displaying a virtual image in a field of vision of a user without the use of an image sensor. In an embodiment, the device receives first data identifying a user's first location and uses the first data to estimate the user's first location. The estimate of the user's first location is then used to identify at least one user interface element or active element within the user's field of vision. The at least one user interface element or active element is associated with one of a plurality of layered planes in a virtual space. A first version of the user interface element or active element is displayed within a first field of vision of the user. The user's updated location is then used to update the appearance of the representation of the user interface element or active element within a second field of vision of the user.

Abstract: A system for displaying a virtual image in a field of vision of a user comprising a lens; a source for emitting a light beam; and a reflector configured to manipulate and direct the light beam to display the image as a virtual image. A method comprising placing a lens having a reflector in front of a user's eye; and projecting, onto the reflector, a light beam associated with an image; manipulating the light beam such that it is focused at a location beyond the reflector and directing it towards the user's eye to display the image as a virtual image. A system comprising first and second lenses, reflectors, and light sources; corresponding pathways along which the light beams are directed from the corresponding source, into the corresponding lens, along a body portion of the corresponding lens, and to the corresponding reflector for display as a virtual image.
