Abstract
This disclosure concerns a near field communication (NFC) device which includes a wrist-worn NFC-enabled electronics device, wherein the wrist-worn NFC enabled electronics device includes a first communications link for communicating with a second NFC-enabled electronics device via NFC protocols, and a second communications link for communicating with an eyepiece via a medium-range communications protocol and receiving control commands. The wrist-worn NFC-enabled electronics device facilitates the transfer of data between the eyepiece and the second NFC-enabled electronics device. The eyepiece comprises optics enabling a see-through display on which is displayed the data.
Claims8
An interactive head-mounted device, comprising:
- an optical assembly through which a surrounding environment is viewable;
- an integrated processor for handling virtual content for display;
- an integrated image source for introducing the virtual content to the optical assembly;
- and
- an environmental sensor;
- wherein the integrated processor is adapted to initially display, via the integrated image source and the optical assembly, the virtual content with a display parameter having a first setting, and
- wherein the integrated processor is adapted to display, via the integrated image source and the optical assembly, the virtual content with the display parameter having a second setting, different from the first setting, responsive to a change in the surrounding environment as recognized by the environmental sensor.
An interactive head-mounted device, comprising:
- an optical assembly through which a surrounding environment is viewable;
- an integrated processor for handling virtual content for display;
- an integrated image source for introducing the virtual content to the optical assembly;
- and
- an integrated virtual image capture facility that images an aspect of the surrounding environment and provides the virtual content for display;
- wherein the integrated processor is adapted to initially display, via the integrated image source and the optical assembly, the virtual content with a display parameter having a first setting, and
- wherein the integrated processor is adapted to display, via the integrated image source and the optical assembly, the virtual content with the display parameter having a second setting, different from the first setting, responsive to a change in the surrounding environment as recognized by the integrated virtual image capture facility.
