Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to head worn computing lighting systems and stray light control.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. A computer display stray-light suppression system for a head-worn computer, comprising: an eye cover including a flexible material with a perimeter, wherein the perimeter is formed to substantially encapsulate an eye of a person; and the eye cover including an attachment system adapted to removably and replaceably attach to the perimeter of the head-worn computer to suppress light emitted from a computer display in the head-worn computer, wherein the attachment system is a magnetic attachment system, wherein the magnetic attachment system includes a magnet of a first polarization attached to the eye cover and a magnet of a second polarization attached to the head-worn computer. 2. A computer display stray-light suppression system for a head-worn computer, comprising: an eye cover including a flexible material with a perimeter, wherein the perimeter is formed to substantially encapsulate an eye of a person; and the eye cover including an attachment system adapted to removably and replaceably attach to the perimeter of the head-worn computer to suppress light emitted from a computer display in the head-worn computer, wherein the attachment system is a magnetic attachment system, wherein the magnetic attachment system includes a magnet attached to the head-worn computer. 3. A computer display stray-light suppression system for a head-worn computer, comprising: an eye cover including a flexible material with a perimeter, wherein the perimeter is formed to substantially encapsulate an eye of a person; and the eye cover including an attachment system adapted to removably and replaceably attach to the perimeter of the head-worn computer to suppress light emitted from a computer display in the head-worn computer, further comprising a front cover adapted to cover a front lens of the head-worn computer to suppress stray light from escaping the front lens. 4. The computer display stray-light suppression system for a head-worn computer of claim 3 , wherein the front cover substantially covers the front lens of the head-worn computer.
