Head-mounted display devices with transparent display panels for color deficient user

A method for providing augmented reality contents to a wearer, the method comprising:

• transmitting a first portion of visible ambient light from one or more real objects through a first set of one or more lenses, one or more transparent displays, and a second set of one or more lenses for providing images of the one or more real objects to one or more eyes of a wearer, wherein the second set of one or more lenses is distinct from the first set of one or more lenses and the one or more transparent displays are disposed between the first set of one or more lenses and the second set of one or more lenses;
• determining, by one or more first processors, that one or more portions, of the images of the one or more real objects, include a first color and a second color different from the first color, based on a color profile for the wearer, wherein the color profile for the wearer includes information identifying one or more colors including the first color that the wearer cannot distinguish from the second color;
• and
• displaying, by the one or more transparent displays, images rendered based at least on the augmented reality contents and the color profile for the wearer for overlap with the images of the one or more real objects, the rendered images including one or more textures and corresponding to one or more portions, less than all, of the images of the one or more real objects such that the images provided by the one or more transparent displays including the one or more textures overlay one or more portions of the images of the one or more real objects having the first color.

A display device for providing augmented reality contents, the device comprising:

• one or more lenses;
• one or more transparent displays coupled with the one or more lenses for projecting light toward one or more eyes of a wearer through the one or more lenses, wherein the one or more transparent displays are configured to:
• transmit a first portion of visible light corresponding to images of one or more real objects toward the one or more eyes of the wearer;
• and
• provide images rendered based at least on the augmented reality contents and a color profile for the wearer for overlap with images of the one or more real objects, wherein the color profile for the wearer includes information identifying one or more colors including a first color that the wearer cannot distinguish from a second color that is different from the first color;
• one or more first processors configured to:
• determine that one or more portions of the images of the one or more real objects include the first color and the second color;
• and
• render the images based on the color profile to include one or more textures, the rendered images corresponding to one or more portions, less than all, of the images of the one or more real objects such that the images provided by the one or more transparent displays including the one or more textures overlay one or more portions, of the images of the one or more real objects, having the first color;
• a mirror configured to reflect infrared light and transmit the first portion of visible light, wherein the mirror is inclined at an angle from an optical axis of one or more lenses;
• one or more infrared light sources positioned relative to the mirror in a way such that infrared light emitted by the one or more infrared light sources is reflected by the mirror toward the one or more transparent displays and the reflected infrared light is transmitted through the one or more transparent displays and the one or more lenses toward the one or more eyes of the wearer;
• and
• one or more sensors positioned relative to the mirror in a way such that the one or more sensors detect infrared light reflected from the one or more eyes of the wearer for determining a gaze direction of the one or more eyes of the wearer, wherein the infrared light reflected from the one or more eyes of the wearer is transmitted through the one or more lenses and the one or more transparent displays and reflected by the mirror toward the one or more sensors,
• wherein the one or more transparent displays are disposed between the mirror and the one or more lenses.
