  • Publication number: 20130278631
    Abstract: A system and method for providing informational labels with perceived depth in the field of view of a user of a head mounted display device. In one embodiment, the method includes determining a physical location of the user and the head mounted display device, and identifying and determining a distance from the user to one or more objects of interest in the user's field of view. Using the distance from the user for each object, one can calculate a disparity value for viewing each object. The processor of the head mounted device may gather information concerning each of the objects in which the user is interested. The head mounted display device then provides a label for each of the objects and for each eye of the user, and, using the disparity values, places the labels within the field of view of the user.

  • Patent number: 8488246
    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 and a light source that directs light to a curved polarizing film of the optical assembly that reflects a portion of the light to illuminate a reflective image display. The optical assembly comprises an optically flat film that reflects the image light from the reflective image display to a curved partially reflecting mirror that reflects a portion of the image light and transmits a portion of the scene light from a see-through view of the surrounding environment, so that a combined image comprised of portions of the reflected image light and the transmitted scene light is transmitted through the optically flat film and provided to the user's eye.
