  • Eye glint imaging in see-through computer display systems
    Patent number: 9836122
    Abstract: Disclosure herein concerns a method that includes illuminating a user's eye with an illumination source in a head-worn display, capturing an image of the user's eye with an eye camera in the head-worn display, wherein the image includes an eye glint produced by light from the illumination source that is reflected from a surface of the user's eye, determining a size of an eye glint in the captured image, and identifying a change in focus distance for the user's eye in correspondence with a change in the size of the eye glint.

  • Micro doppler presentations in head worn computing
    Patent number: 9784973
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to visual presentation techniques for micro-Doppler signatures. A method may include receiving a micro Doppler signature indicative of a projectile flight path, identifying a beginning trace marker and a termination trace marker, and presenting in a head-worn computing system field of view digital content representative of the projectile flight path, wherein the beginning trace marker and termination trace marker provide a world-lock perspective for a wearer of the head-worn computing system such that the digital content appears to remain referenced to the environment independent of a position of the head-worn computing system.

  • See-through computer display systems
    Patent number: 9766463
    Abstract: Embodiments include a head-worn display including a display panel sized and positioned to produce a field of view to present digital content to an eye of a user, and a processor adapted to present the digital content to the display panel such that the digital content is only presented in a portion of the field of view, the portion being in the middle of the field of view such that horizontally opposing edges of the field of view are blank areas. The processor is adapted to shift the digital content into one of the blank areas to adjust the convergence distance of the digital content and thereby change the perceived distance from the user to the digital content.
