Abstract
Augmented reality display systems, apparatuses, and methods are disclosed for enabling a wearer of an augmented reality optical display to continue wearing the same optical display while moving between different platforms or vehicles. Example embodiments include optical displays that use a wired connection to connect with each platform to minimize the electromagnetic signature of the system. Embodiments include changing the information displayed to the user depending on the type of vehicle to which the optical display is connected. Additional embodiment display information about weapon systems associated with the platform to which the optical display is connected.
Claims19
A system, comprising:
- an optical system wearable and viewable by a user including an optical display and a display driver, wherein
- the display driver is configured to receive non-image vehicle sensor information and present image data related to the received non-image vehicle sensor information to the optical display and
- the optical display is configured to display the image data received from the display driver on the optical display;
- wherein, when the optical system is connected to a first platform assembly of a first vehicle platform and a first sensor is sensing first vehicle information related to the first vehicle platform
- the display driver receives the first non-image vehicle sensor information from the first sensor, generates first image data configured for the optical display based on the first non-image vehicle sensor information, and transmits the first image data to the optical display, and
- the optical display displays a first optical image based on the first image data transmitted from the display driver;
- and
- wherein, when the optical system is connected to a second platform assembly of a second vehicle platform and a second sensor is sensing second vehicle information related to the second vehicle platform,
- the display driver receives the second non-image sensor information from the second sensor, generates second image data configured for the optical display based on the second non-image sensor information, and transmits the second image data to the optical display, and
- the optical display displays a second optical image based on the second image data transmitted from the display driver.

An apparatus, comprising:
- an augmented reality device;
- at least two platforms to which the augmented reality device can connect;
- means for receiving vehicle information from one of the at least two vehicle platforms and not from the other of the at least two vehicle platforms when the augmented reality device is connected to the one of the at least two vehicle platforms, converting the received vehicle information to first image data, and displaying the first image data;
- and
- means for receiving vehicle information from the other of the at least two vehicle platforms and not from the one of the at least two vehicle platforms when the augmented reality device is connected to the other of the at least two vehicle platforms, converting the received vehicle information to second image data, and displaying the second image data.
2 more elements
A method, comprising:
- connecting an augmented reality display to a first vehicle platform and determining a type of vehicle platform to which the augmented reality display is connected;
- receiving information related to the first vehicle platform;
- generating first image data related to the information received from the first vehicle platform;
- displaying on the augmented reality display the first image data;
- disconnecting the augmented reality display from the first vehicle platform;
- connecting the augmented reality display to a second vehicle platform and determining a type of vehicle platform to which the augmented reality display is connected;
- receiving information related to the second vehicle platform;
- generating second image data related to the information received from the second vehicle platform;
- and
- displaying on the augmented reality display the second image data, wherein the second image data is different from the first image data.
