1. A system for improving manipulation of a vehicle mounted implement, the system operably mounted on a work vehicle comprising a work implement that is operably manipulated by a vehicle operator in a vehicle operator position, the system comprising:
an imaging instrument mounted on the vehicle and providing image data indicative of a real-time view of the work implement when at least a portion of an operating position of the implement is obstructed from view at the vehicle operator position;
an operator detector that operably detects a direction of gaze for the operator to generate gaze position data;
an image processor operably receiving the image data from the imaging instrument and the gaze position data from the operator detector, and generating augmented image data; and
a display operably receiving the augmented image data from the image processor and displaying an augmented image on a screen in line of sight between the vehicle operator position and an operating position of the implement, the augmented image comprising a real-time view of the implement in the implement's operating environment based at least on the image data, and the augmented image comprising a relevant operator perspective view based at least on the gaze position data, wherein the perspective view indicates relative depth and angle of view of the implement in the implement's operating environment from the operator's perspective, the augmented image further comprising a computer generated image of at least a portion of the implement in a computer augmented perspective view from the vehicle operator's position.
