Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Aspects of the present invention relate to methods and systems for the see-through computer display systems with an extended field of view.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1 . A head-worn see-through display, comprising: a. A hybrid optical system adapted to produce a main see-through field of view for the presentation of content with high resolution and a secondary see-through field of view for the presentation of content with lower resolution, wherein the main and secondary fields of view are presented proximate one another; b. A processor adapted to adjust the relative proximity of the main and the secondary fields of view; and c. An eye position detection system adapted to detect a position of an eye of a user, wherein the processor adjusts the relative proximity of the main and secondary fields of view based on the position of the eye of the user. 2 . The head-worn display of claim 1 , wherein the secondary field of view is produced on a see-through OLED panel positioned directly in front of the eye of the user. 3 . The head-worn display of claim 1 , wherein the secondary field of view is produced on a see-through edge lit LCD panel positioned directly in front of the eye of the user. 4 . The head-worn display of claim 1 , wherein the secondary field of view is produced on a see-through combiner positioned directly in front of the eye of the user. 5 . The head-worn display of claim 1 , wherein the relative proximity is a horizontal proximity. 6 . The head-worn display of claim 1 , wherein the relative proximity is a vertical proximity. 7 . The head-worn display of claim 1 , wherein the relative proximity defines a measure of overlap between the main and secondary fields of view. 8 . The head-worn display of claim 1 , wherein the relative proximity defines a measure of separation between the main and secondary fields of view. 9 . The head-worn display of claim 1 , wherein the eye position detection system images the eye from a perspective substantially in front of the eye. 10 . The head-worn display of claim 1 , wherein the eye position detection system images the eye as a reflection off a see-through optic of the hybrid optical system in a region including the main field of view. 11 . The head-worn display of claim 1 , wherein the eye position detection system images the eye as a reflection off a see-through optic of the hybrid optical system fin a region including the secondary field of view.
