Abstract
Aspects of the present invention relate to methods and systems for the see-through computer display systems with an extended field of view.
Claims16
A wearable device, comprising:
- a display having a field of view having an edge region and a center;
- a processor adapted to present image content to a user of the wearable device via the display, wherein presenting the image content comprises:
- in accordance with a determination that presenting the image content comprises presenting a first portion of the image content in the center region of the field of view, presenting the first portion with a first visibility;
- and
- in accordance with a determination that presenting the image content comprises presenting the first portion in the edge region of the field of view:
- in accordance with a determination that the first portion comprises world-locked content, presenting the first portion with a second visibility, the second visibility lower than the first visibility;
- and
- in accordance with a determination that the first portion does not comprise world-locked content, presenting the first portion with the first visibility;
- a main image content optic for projecting the first portion of the image content in the center region of the field of view;
- an extended image content optic for projecting the first portion of the image content in the edge region of the field of view;
- a combiner for presenting image content to a user;
- and
- a collimating partial mirror,
- wherein the combiner is configured to indirectly reflect the respective image light of the main image content optic or the extended image content optic to the user's eye, wherein the combiner is configured to reflect the respective image light towards the collimating partial mirror.

A method of presenting image content to a user of a wearable device, comprising:
- presenting image content to a user of the wearable device via a display, the display having a field of view having an edge region and a center,
- wherein presenting the image content comprises:
- in accordance with a determination that presenting the image content comprises presenting a first portion of the image content in the center region of the field of view, presenting the first portion with a first visibility;
- and
- in accordance with a determination that presenting the image content comprises presenting the first portion in the edge region of the field of view:
- in accordance with a determination that the first portion comprises world-locked content, presenting the first portion with a second visibility, the second visibility lower than the first visibility;
- and
- in accordance with a determination that the first portion does not comprise world-locked content, presenting the first portion with the first visibility;
- projecting, by a main image content optic, the first portion of the image content in the center region of the field of view or projecting, by an extended image content optic, the first portion of the image content in the edge region of the field of view;
- and
- indirectly reflecting, by a combiner, respective image light of the main image content optic or the extended image content optic to the user's eye, wherein the combiner is configured to reflect the respective image light towards a collimating partial mirror.
8 more elements
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform a method, the method comprising:
- presenting image content to a user of a wearable device via a display, the display having a field of view having an edge region and a center,
- wherein presenting the image content comprises:
- in accordance with a determination that presenting the image content comprises presenting a first portion of the image content in the center region of the field of view, presenting the first portion with a first visibility;
- and
- in accordance with a determination that presenting the image content comprises presenting the first portion in the edge region of the field of view:
- in accordance with a determination that the first portion comprises world-locked content, presenting the first portion with a second visibility, the second visibility lower than the first visibility;
- and
- in accordance with a determination that the first portion does not comprise world-locked content, presenting the first portion with the first visibility;
- projecting, via a main image content optic, the first portion of the image content in the center region of the field of view or projecting, by an extended image content optic, the first portion of the image content in the edge region of the field of view;
- and
- indirectly reflecting, via a combiner, respective image light of the main image content optic or the extended image content optic to the user's eye, wherein the combiner is configured to reflect the respective image light towards a collimating partial mirror.
