  • Hybrid rendering for a wearable display attached to a tethered computer
    Patent number: 11244512
    Abstract: Hybrid rendering is described for a wearable display that is attached to a tethered computer. In one example a process include determining a position and orientation of a wearable computing device, determining a rate of motion of the wearable computing device, comparing the rate of motion to a threshold, if the rate of motion is above the threshold, then rendering a view of a scene at the wearable computing device using the position and orientation information, and displaying the rendered view of the scene.

  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SENSOR PRIORITIZATION
    Publication number: 20160088090
    Abstract: A system and method for prioritizing data from a plurality of wearable sensor modules in a sensor system. A primary sensor module is selected as a function of operation parameters associated with operation of each of wearable sensor modules. Parameter data measured by two or more of the wearable sensor modules is combined, wherein combining includes reviewing the operation parameters of the wearable sensor modules supplying the parameter data to be combined and combining the data as a function of the reviewed operation parameters.
