Abstract
A wearable device configured to display augmented reality (AR) information to a user wearing the wearable device is disclosed. The wearable device includes a screen and a set of mirrors including a first mirror and a second mirror. The screen is configured to display an overlay AR image including AR information associated with a real world scene of a surrounding environment of the user. The first mirror is configured to reflect the overlay AR image displayed on the screen to the second mirror. The second mirror is configured to simultaneously a) receive and reflect the overlay AR image reflected by the first mirror and b) transmit the real world scene, such that the second mirror displays a mixed image of the AR information and the real world scene to the user.

A wearable device configured to display augmented reality (AR) information to a user wearing the wearable device, the wearable device comprising a screen and a set of mirrors including a first mirror and a second mirror,
- the screen being configured to display an overlay AR image including AR information associated with a real world scene of a surrounding environment of the user;
- the first mirror being configured to reflect the overlay AR image displayed on the screen to the second mirror;
- and
- the second mirror being configured to simultaneously a) receive and reflect the overlay AR image reflected by the first mirror and b) transmit the real world scene, such that the second mirror displays a mixed image of the AR information and the real world scene to the user.
A wearable device configured to display augmented reality (AR) information to a user wearing the wearable device, the wearable device comprising a camera, a processing device, a screen and a set of mirrors including a first mirror and a second mirror,
- the camera being configured to capture a real world scene of a surrounding environment of the user;
- the processing device being configured to identify AR information associated with the real world scene and generate an overlay AR image including the AR information based on the captured real world scene;
- the screen being configured to display the overlay AR image;
- the first mirror being configured to reflect the overlay AR image displayed on the screen to the second mirror;
- and
- the second mirror being configured to simultaneously a) receive and reflect the overlay AR image reflected by the first mirror and b) transmit the real world scene, such that the second mirror displays a mixed image of the AR information and the real world scene to the user.
A method of displaying augmented reality (AR) information to a user wearing a wearable device, comprising:
- displaying, on a screen of the wearable device, an overlay AR image including AR information associated with a real world scene of a surrounding environment of the user;
- reflecting the overlay AR image displayed on the screen onto a first mirror of the wearable device and further onto a second mirror of the wearable device;
- and
- displaying, at the second mirror, a mixed image of the AR information and the real world scene to the user.
