Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to haptic feedback systems and methods for use in head-worn computing systems. A head worn computer includes a frame adapted to hold a computer display in front of a user's eye, a processor adapted to present digital content in the computer display and to produce a haptic signal in coordination with the digital content display, and a haptic system including a plurality of haptic segments, wherein each of the haptic segments is individually controlled in coordination with the haptic signal.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a wearable head device comprising:
- a frame adapted to position a display in front of an eye of a user of the wearable head device, the display comprising a lower optics module coupled to the frame, the lower optics module comprising a partially transmissive optical element;
- an upper optics module coupled to the frame and configured to provide image light to the lower optics module;
- and
- a light source configured to provide illuminating light to the upper optics module;
- and
- one or more sensors configured to provide a sensor input;
- wherein the wearable head device is configured to communicate with one or more processors configured to:
- receive a user input from the user via a user interface in communication with the wearable head device,
- receive a sensor input via the one or more sensors;
- present control instructions to the device external to the wearable head device, the control instructions based on the sensor input and on the user input,
- receive a device input from the device external to the wearable head device, and
- present, via the display, graphical content based on the device input.

A method comprising:
- receiving a user input from a user of a wearable head device via a user interface in communication with the wearable head device;
- receiving a sensor input from a sensor of the wearable head device;
- presenting control instructions to a device external to the wearable head device, the control instructions based on the sensor input and on the user input;
- receiving a device input from the device external to the wearable head device;
- and
- presenting, via a display of the wearable head device, graphical content based on the device input;
- wherein the wearable head device comprises:
- a frame adapted to position the display in front of an eye of the user, the display comprising a lower optics module coupled to the frame, the lower optics module comprising a partially transmissive optical element,
- an upper optics module coupled to the frame and configured to provide image light to the lower optics module, and
- a light source configured to provide illuminating light to the upper optics module.
