Abstract
Aspects of the present invention relate to external user interfaces used in connection with head-worn computers (HWC).
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a wearable device comprising a see-through display;
- a vehicle comprising a physical control, the physical control configured to control an operation associated with the vehicle, the vehicle configured to communicate with the wearable device;
- and
- an external user interface, the external user interface mechanically coupled to the physical control and configured to communicate with the wearable device, wherein:
- the wearable device is configured to present, via the see-through display, concurrently with presenting a view of the physical control, virtual content to a user;
- and
- the presenting the virtual content comprises:
- at a first time, presenting via the see-through display a first virtual content aligned with the external user interface and at a first position with respect to the physical control, and
- at a second time, in response to an input to the external user interface, presenting via the see-through display a second virtual content aligned with the external user interface and at a second position with respect to the physical control, a displacement between the first position with respect to the physical control and the second position with respect to the physical control corresponding to the input to the external user interface.

A method comprising:
- controlling, via a physical control of a vehicle, an operation associated with the vehicle;
- presenting, via a see-through display of a wearable device, concurrently with presenting a view of the physical control, virtual content to a user, wherein:
- the vehicle is configured to communicate with the wearable device,
- an external user interface is mechanically coupled to the physical control and is configured to communicate with the wearable head device, and
- the presenting the virtual content comprises:
- at a first time, presenting via the see-through display a first virtual content aligned with the external user interface and at a first position with respect to the physical control, and
- at a second time, in response to an input to the external user interface, presenting via the see-through display a second virtual content aligned with the external user interface and at a second position with respect to the physical control, a displacement between the first position with respect to the physical control and the second position with respect to the physical control corresponding to the input to the external user interface.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform a method comprising:
- controlling, via a physical control of a vehicle, an operation associated with the vehicle;
- presenting, via a see-through display of a wearable device, concurrently with presenting a view of the physical control, virtual content to a user, wherein:
- the vehicle is configured to communicate with the wearable device,
- an external user interface is mechanically coupled to the physical control and is configured to communicate with the wearable head device, and
- the presenting the virtual content comprises:
- at a first time, presenting via the see-through display a first virtual content aligned with the external user interface and at a first position with respect to the physical control, and
- at a second time, in response to an input to the external user interface, presenting via the see-through display a second virtual content aligned with the external user interface and at a second position with respect to the physical control, a displacement between the first position with respect to the physical control and the second position with respect to the physical control corresponding to the input to the external user interface.
