Abstract
Aspects of the present invention relate to providing see-through computer display optics.
Claims6
A head-worn computer, comprising:
- an image source positioned within the head-worn computer such that an image from the image source is projected towards a combiner;
- and
- the combiner comprising an optical element that is at least partially see-through and at least partially reflective such that light from a surrounding environment passes through the combiner to an eye of a user wearing the head-worn computer and the image is reflected to the eye of the user, wherein
- the combiner is removably and replaceably attached to a frame of the head-worn computer,
- wherein the combiner is magnetically attached to the frame.

A head-worn computer, comprising:
- an image source positioned within the head-worn computer such that an image from the image source is projected towards a combiner;
- and
- the combiner comprising an optical element that is at least partially see-through and at least partially reflective such that light from a surrounding environment passes through the combiner to an eye of a user wearing the head-worn computer and the image is reflected to the eye of the user, wherein
- the combiner is removably and replaceably attached to a frame of the head-worn computer;
- wherein the combiner is one of a plurality of types of combiners and the removability offers the user choice in combiner type and
- wherein the combiner type is polarized.

- and
- the combiner comprising an optical element that is at least partially see-through and at least partially reflective such that light from a surrounding environment passes through the combiner to an eye of a user wearing the head-worn computer and the image is reflected to the eye of the user, wherein
- the combiner is removably and replaceably attached to a frame of the head-worn computer;
- and
- further comprising an eye imaging camera, wherein the eye imaging camera is positioned to capture an image of the eye after being reflected off of the combiner.
