Abstract
Eyewear having a camera capturing images, and an image processor configured to process the images and display the processed image in both controlled and uncontrolled regions on the display. In an example, the image processor applies a vignette gradient to soften edges of the displayed image in the uncontrolled regions, which compensates for any discoloration in the uncontrolled regions. The uncontrolled regions may be located above and below the controlled region.
Claims20
Eyewear, comprising:
- a frame;
- a display supported by the frame;
- at least one camera supported by the frame and configured to generate images;
- and
- an image processor configured to process the images and display the processed images on the display, wherein the displayed processed images have an uncontrolled region with image distortion, and wherein the image processor is configured to modify the uncontrolled region to generate an immersive image.
A method of operating eyewear having a frame, a display supported by the frame, at least one camera supported by the frame and configured to generate images, and an image processor, comprising:
- processing, by the image processor, the images to generate a processed displayed image with an uncontrolled region having image distortion;
- modifying, by the image processor, the uncontrolled region of the processed images to generate an immersive image;
- and
- displaying, by the image processor, the immersive image.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing program code which, when executed, is operative to cause an image processor to perform the steps of:
- processing images generated by a camera coupled to eyewear to generate processed displayed images with an uncontrolled region having image distortion;
- modifying the uncontrolled region of the processed displayed images to generate an immersive image;
- and
- displaying the immersive image on the display.
