Abstract
Aspects of the present invention relate to methods and systems for the see-through computer display systems with a wide field of view.
Claims20
A method for operating a head worn display with a wide display field of view that provides improved comfort for viewing displayed wide field of view images comprising:
- a. detecting eye movements and head movements of a user;
- b. detecting an eye movement above a first predetermined threshold followed by a head movement above a second predetermined threshold, wherein the detected eye movement and detected head movements are in the same direction;
- and
- c. shifting the displayed wide field of view image within the wide display field of view in correspondence to ensuing detected movements of the user's head to thereby move a peripheral portion of the displayed wide field of view image into a central portion of the wide display field of view where the peripheral portion of the displayed wide field of view image can be viewed by the user with their eyes in a more centered position.

A method for operating a head mounted display with a wide display field of view with improved comfort when viewing different applications, wherein the head mounted display includes optics that provide a central sharp zone, comprising:
- a. a user selecting an application with images for viewing in the head mounted display;
- b. the user selecting a field of view for viewing the images;
- c. the head mounted display resizing the images to the selected field of view and displaying the images;
- and if the resized images are angularly larger than a predetermined size;
- d. detecting a movement of a user's eye followed by a movement of the user's head wherein the eye movement and the head movement are in the same direction relative to a fixed point of reference;
- and
- e. shifting the displayed wide field of view image within the wide display field of view in correspondence to and in the opposite direction to the detected movement of the user's head to move a peripheral portion of the image into the central sharp zone where it can be viewed by the user with a reduced movement of the user's eyes.
