A visual reality augmentation apparatus (300) comprises one or more (substantially) real time reality context input stages (301,302) that provide corresponding reality context information to a reality content detector (303) (fig. 1). The latter provides detected object information to an augmented reality content display (304) that provides augmentation information (via, for example, projection display techniques) to augment the real world scene being viewed by a viewer. In a preferred approach a direction-of-gaze detector (305) detects the viewer's gaze direction. That information then serves to facilitate positional synchronization of the augmentation information to the viewer's point of view of the corresponding real world information.
