Abstract
A head-mounted display system is provided. According to one example of an implementation, the head-mounted display system includes at least one sensor detecting surrounding information, a processing unit processing the surrounding information received from the at least one sensor, a display control unit generating display information to be displayed to a user of the system from the processed surrounding information received from the processing unit, and a head-mounted display capable of displaying information received from the display control unit to the user.
Claims30
A head-mounted display system, comprising:
- at least one camera for capturing visual display information;
- at least one sensor detecting surrounding information, where the at least one sensor detects relative change in ambient light intensity;
- a processing unit processing the visual display information received from the camera and altering the brightness and/or contrast of the visual display information based on the relative change in ambient light intensity detected by the at least one sensor;
- a display control unit generating visual display information to be displayed to a user of the system from the processed visual display information received from the processing unit;
- and
- a head-mounted display displaying the visual display information wirelessly received from the display control unit to the user.
The head-mounted display system of claim. 1, where the processing of the processing unit comprises a generation of a visual output information with reduced reflections from the detected surrounding information.
A display method, comprising:
- capturing visual display information;
- detecting surrounding information and relative change in ambient light intensity;
- processing the visual display information;
- generating visual display information to be displayed to a user from the processed visual display information, where the brightness and/or contrast of the visual display information is altered based on the relative change in ambient light intensity;
- transmitting the visual display information wirelessly to a head-mounted display;
- and
- displaying the visual display information to the user via the head-mounted display.
The display method of claim l8, where the display information comprises superimposed routing information.
