Claim:
1. A head-mounted device (HMD) comprising: a sensor; a transparent display; and a processor comprising an augmented reality application and an alignment module, the augmented reality application configured to generate a virtual content based on data from the sensor, and to display the virtual content in the transparent display, the alignment module configured to detect an initialization of the augmented reality application and to cause a temporary display of an alignment indicator in the transparent display in response to detecting the initialization of the augmented reality application, the alignment indicator identifying a relative position between the HMD and a head of a user of the HMD, wherein the alignment indicator comprises an augmented reality-based indicator that is based on a relative position between the transparent display and an eye of the user wearing the HMD as detected by the sensor, the alignment module configured to adjust the augmented reality-based indicator in response to a change in the relative position between the transparent display and the eye of the user wearing the HMD, wherein the augmented reality-based indicator indicates a direction for the user to adjust the transparent display relative to the head of the user of the HMD.
