Abstract
An apparatus for mounting on a head including a frame, A face-wearable near-ocular optics and a micro-display for displaying data in front of the eyes is provided. A computing device is coupled to the micro-display. At least one sensor is coupled to the computing device for receiving biometric human information.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- a support structure for mounting on the head of a user;
- a display matrix;
- a plurality of optical lenses retained by the support structure, and disposed between the display matrix and an eye of the user, the plurality of optical lenses including a hemispherical element that covers at least a portion of the display matrix;
- a microcomputer carried by the support structure;
- a sensor device for receiving biometric data;
- a camera mounted on the support structure;
- and
- a transceiver coupled with the microcomputer, wherein the microcomputer executes instructions that comprise:
- capturing a set of images by the camera mounted on the support structure;
- generating an image stream based on the set of images;
- extracting metadata from the image stream;
- generating a request that includes the metadata to a networked computer;
- receiving, from the networked computer, a presentation of the image stream that includes an object rendered at a position within the image stream based on at least the metadata and the biometric data;
- causing the display matrix to display the presentation of the image stream that includes the object rendered at the position within the image stream upon the hemispherical element;
- detecting biometric feedback;
- and
- presenting the object within the presentation of the image stream based on the biometric feedback.
