Claim One:
1. A method for communicating to a user of a head-mounted display device an estimated quality level of a world-lock display mode in which a position of one or more virtual objects appears to be fixed relative to real-world objects viewable through the head-mounted display device, the method comprising: Receiving sensor data from one or more sensors of the head-mounted display device; using the sensor data, determining an estimated pose of the head-mounted display device; using the estimated pose, displaying the one or more virtual objects via the head-mounted display device in either the world-lock display mode or in a body-lock display mode in which the position of each of the virtual objects appears to be fixed relative to the user of the head-mounted display device; determining one or more of input uncertainty values of the sensor data and pose uncertainty values of the estimated pose; mapping one or more of the input uncertainty values and the pose uncertainty values to the estimated quality level of the world-lock display mode; and communicating feedback of the estimated quality level to the user via the head-mounted display device.
