Patent number: 10634913Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for task-based modification of visual media in a heads-up display. An example system includes a heads-up display assembly configured to be worn by a user, the heads-up display assembly including a head mount and a presentation generator configured to display visual media to the user. The example system further includes a memory, and a processor configured to interface with the presentation generator and the memory. The processor identifies a current task associated with the user, and obtains a focal distance at which the visual media is to be displayed to the user during the performance of the current task. The processor causes the presentation to display the visual media at the obtained focal distance during performance of the current task.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2018Date of Patent: April 28, 2020Assignee: Symbol Technologies, LLCInventors: Chandra M. Nair, Wenjun Sun, Curt D. Croley, Steven D. Sieckowski
