Smart Glasses with a Movable Micromirror Array (MMA)Which Enables a Real Word Viewing Mode, a Virtual Reality Viewing Mode,and an Augmented Reality Viewing Mode

Augmented reality eyewear comprising:

• an eyewear frame which is configured to be worn on a person's head;
• an optical display comprising one or more light emitters which display an image;
• a transparent optical component which is held in front of the person's eye by the eyewear frame;
• a micromirror array in front of the person's eye, wherein the micromirror array comprises a plurality of selectively-movable micromirrors;
• and
• an electroconductive pathway array, wherein the electroconductive pathway array comprises a plurality of selectively-activated electroconductive pathways, and wherein activation comprises transmitting electrical energy through an electroconductive pathway;
• wherein the eyewear has a first configuration in which a selected subset of micromirrors in the micromirror array have a first configuration which allows light from the environment to pass through a selected portion of the transparent optical component to the person's eye;
• wherein the eyewear has a second configuration in which the selected subset of micromirrors in the micromirror array have a second configuration which blocks at least some of the light from the environment from passing through the selected portion of the transparent optical component to the person's eye and reflects light from the optical display toward the person's eye in the selected portion of the transparent optical component;
• and
• wherein the eyewear is changed from the first configuration to the second configuration by activation of a selected subset of electroconductive pathways.
