  • Optical head-mounted displays for laser safety eyewear
    Patent number: 10690918
    Abstract: According to certain examples, a head-mounted apparatus includes a safety eyewear component and an optical display coupled to the safety eyewear component. The safety eyewear component is configured to be worn of a head of an operator and to block transmission of a laser light therethrough. The optical display is configured to receive data associated with the laser light and to display a visual representation of the laser light in a field of view of the operator. In other examples, an apparatus includes a display, a sensor, at least one processor and at least one memory storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to receive, from the sensor, data associated with a laser light, process the data, and provide an image to the display, such as a representation of the laser light.
