  • Patent number: 9747015
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for displaying information in various display regions within wearable display devices in a manner that enhances user experience. The wearable display devices may include a flexible display region and may be capable of operating in a wrinkled state. In one aspect, a wearable display device includes a plurality of sensors configured to determine the state of the display. The sensors may, for example, be configured to detect pressure, light, and/or deformation. In some aspects, the device includes a processor configured to provide image data to the display. In some aspects, the processor is capable of changing at least one characteristic of the image data provided to the display based at least in part on input received from the sensors. For example, the processor may re-size an image and/or deactivate a portion of the display.

  • Patent number: 9734779
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for displaying information in various display regions within wearable display devices in a manner that enhances user experience and extends battery life. The wearable display devices may include a flexible display region and may be capable of operating in a wrinkled state. In some aspects, the wearable display devices may be capable of displaying images at different image qualities in the separate display regions. For example, in some implementations, wearable display devices include a first display region that has a higher pixel density than the second display region. In some aspects the wearable display devices may be configured to determine and/or select a display region in which specific image content is displayed. For example, text may be displayed region best suited to display text while video is displayed in region best suited to display video.

  • Patent number: 9544497
    Abstract: Systems and methods for deductively determining a resolution setting for an imaging device based on one or more features of a scene are disclosed. The features may include the size of primary or foreground faces within the scene, a maximum amount of high frequency content within the scene, a lighting condition of the scene, or a battery level of an electronic device.

    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for displaying information in various display regions within wearable display devices in a manner that enhances user experience. The wearable display devices may include a flexible display region that may be capable of operating in a wrinkled state. In one aspect, a wearable display device includes one or more sensors configured to provide information regarding the position of one or more display regions on the wearable display device. In some aspects, the device includes a processor that is capable of selecting where to display image data on the device. In some aspects, the selection of an appropriate display region is based at least in part on a privacy level associated with the image data and/or the positioning of the wearable device in space with respect to the user.
