Claims9
A head-mounted display (HMD) device, comprising:
- a first display including a first set of one or more lights and a second set of one or more lights that are positioned around a frame of the HMD device, wherein the frame includes a first surface that separates the first set of one or more lights from the second set of one or more lights, and wherein the first set of one or more lights and the second set of one or more lights are configured to concurrently be in a field of view of a user wearing the HMD device;
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
- receiving information corresponding to a respective state of an object in the field of view of the user;
- and
- in response to receiving information corresponding to the respective state of the object in the field of view of the user:
- in accordance with a determination that a first set of criteria is satisfied, wherein the first set of criteria includes a first criterion that is satisfied when the respective state of the object corresponds to a first state, displaying, via the first display of the HMD device, a first representation;
- and
- in accordance with a determination that a second set of criteria is satisfied, wherein the second set of criteria includes a second criterion that is satisfied when the respective state of the object corresponds to a second state that is different from the first state, displaying, via the first display of the HMD device, a second representation that is different from the first representation.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured to be executed by one or more processors of a head-mounted display (HMD) device including a first display, wherein the first display includes a first set of one or more lights and a second set of one or more lights that are positioned around a frame of the HMD device, wherein the frame includes a first surface that separates the first set of one or more lights from the second set of one or more lights, and wherein the first set of one or more lights and the second set of one or more lights are configured to concurrently be in a field of view of a user wearing the HMD device, the one or more programs including instructions for:
- receiving information corresponding to a respective state of an object in the field of view of the user;
- and
- in response to receiving information corresponding to the respective state of the object in the field of view of the user:
- in accordance with a determination that a first set of criteria is satisfied, wherein the first set of criteria includes a first criterion that is satisfied when the respective state of the object corresponds to a first state, displaying, via the first display of the HMD device, a first representation;
- and
- in accordance with a determination that a second set of criteria is satisfied, wherein the second set of criteria includes a second criterion that is satisfied when the respective state of the object corresponds to a second state that is different from the first state, displaying, via the first display of the HMD device, a second representation that is different from the first representation.
A method, comprising:
- at a system having one or more processors, memory, and a head-mounted display (HMD) device, the HMD device including a first display, wherein the first display includes a first set of one or more lights and a second set of one or more lights that are positioned around a frame of the HMD device, wherein the frame includes a first surface that separates the first set of one or more lights from the second set of one or more lights, and wherein the first set of one or more lights and the second set of one or more lights are configured to concurrently be in a field of view of a user wearing the HMD device:
- receiving information corresponding to a respective state of an object in the field of view of the user;
- and
- in response to receiving information corresponding to the respective state of the object in the field of view of the user:
- in accordance with a determination that a first set of criteria is satisfied, wherein the first set of criteria includes a first criterion that is satisfied when the respective state of the object corresponds to a first state, displaying, via the first display of the HMD device, a first representation;
- and
- in accordance with a determination that a second set of criteria is satisfied, wherein the second set of criteria includes a second criterion that is satisfied when the respective state of the object corresponds to a second state that is different from the first state, displaying, via the first display of the HMD device, a second representation that is different from the first representation.
