  • LOCAL DIMMING OF MIXED REALITY GLASSES IN MEDICAL ENVIRONMENT
    Publication number: 20260044003
    Abstract: The disclosed method encompasses performing local dimming of a dimmed area within a display area of mixed reality glasses. The dimmed area comprises a part of the display area on which a virtual object is displayed. While local dimming increases perceptibility of the virtual object, it might impair usability since it blocks real world objects from view. This is avoided by reducing a dimming intensity of the local dimming in at least a part of the dimmed area.
