Abstract:
1. An apparatus for displaying registered information using embedded data, comprising: an image capture device for capturing a first image of a substrate having first visible data and embedded data embodied thereon; a decoder for decoding the embedded data to develop registration information; a device for retrieving second information from a storage location identified by the registration information; and a display for displaying a second image including second visible data representing the second information; the second image being positioned relative to the first image based on the registration information such that an observer, by using the display, sees the first visible data of the first image and the second visible data of the second image spatially related to the first visible data of the first image wherein the display includes an optical device positioned relative to the substrate to enable the observer to view the first image on the substrate through the optical device; the display displaying the second image in the optical device in order to spatially relate the second visible data in the second image to the first visible data in the first image.
