Claim One:
1. A method for persistent association of a graphic overlay with a first virtual object in a displayable environment, the method comprising: receiving a first three-dimensional coordinate of the first virtual object in the displayable environment; determining a three-dimensional coordinate of the graphic overlay in accordance with the first three-dimensional coordinate of the first virtual object, wherein the determining the three-dimensional coordinate of the graphic overlay applies positional rules so that the graphic overlay does not obscure both the first virtual object and one or more other objects in the displayable environment; tracking a movement of the first virtual object in the displayable environment by receiving one or more second three-dimensional coordinates of the first virtual object from a remote virtual simulator; modifying the three-dimensional coordinate of the graphic overlay in accordance with the one or more second three-dimensional coordinates of the first virtual object, wherein modifying the three-dimensional coordinate of the graphic overlay includes repositioning the graphic overlay to avoid obscuring the first virtual object and the one or more other objects in the displayable environment; and rendering the graphic overlay and the displayable environment for displaying on a display.
