Claim:
1. A method comprising: determining a position of a mobile transparent display; determining an orientation of the display; determining information using the determined position and orientation about a particular celestial object in a user's view of the sky through the display; receiving a gesture toward the particular object using a camera associated with the mobile transparent display; retrieving a first stored image of the particular object from an astronomy database and projecting the first image as an overlay on the display; retrieving a second stored image of the particular object from the database, the second stored image being a zoomed in image with respect to the first image, and projecting the second image as an overlay on the display instead of the first image in response to the zoom gesture; and observing user hand gestures using the camera and interpreting the observed gestures as commands to control the presentation of information on the transparent display to present different images of the articular object.
