Abstract
This disclosure concerns an interactive head-mounted eyepiece with an integrated processor for handling content for display and an integrated image source for introducing the content to an optical assembly through which the user views a surrounding environment and the displayed content, wherein the eyepiece includes an event and sensor triggered control of eyepiece applications.
Claims15
A system, comprising:
- a see-through display configured to display augmented reality images that augment a surrounding environment viewable via the see-through display;
- a processor;
- and
- a storage device configured to hold instructions executable by the processor to:
- detect a first data feed from a first network source,
- control an internal application executable by the processor according to a first user-input command scheme responsive to the first data feed being detected,
- detect a second data feed from a second network source, the second data feed being different than the first data feed,
- control the internal application according to a second user-input command scheme responsive to the second data feed being detected, the first user-input command scheme being different than the second user-input command scheme.
5 more elements
An augmented reality system, comprising:
- a communications facility configured to receive a first data feed from a first network source and a second data feed from a second network source;
- an internal application that automatically makes available a first user-input command scheme to control the internal application responsive to detection of the first data feed and automatically makes available a second user-input command scheme to control the internal application responsive to detection of the second data feed, the second user-input command scheme being different than the first user-input command scheme;
- and
- a see-through display to display augmented reality images of a user interface of the internal application, the first user-input command scheme useable to control the user interface and the second user-input command scheme useable to control the user interface.
1 more element
A method of augmenting reality, the method comprising:
- automatically making available a first user-input command scheme to control an internal application of an augmented reality device;
- receiving, at the augmented reality device, a data feed from a network source;
- responsive to reception of the data feed, automatically making available a second user-input command scheme to control the internal application of the augmented reality device, the second user-input command scheme being different than the first user-input command scheme;
- and
- displaying, via a see-through display of the augmented reality device, augmented reality images of a user interface of the internal application, the first user-input command scheme and the second user-input command scheme mapping a same user-input action to different commands useable to control the user interface.
