1. A system comprising:
- an interactive head-mounted device including an optical assembly configured to display virtual content and to enable viewing of at least a portion of a surrounding environment, an integrated processor for processing the virtual content for display, an integrated image source for introducing the virtual content to the optical assembly, a communications facility configured to connect the interactive head-mounted device to an external device, and a camera, wherein the interactive head-mounted display is configured to detect a user action as input via image data from the camera,wherein the interactive head-mounted device is configured to detect, via a sensor of the interactive head-mounted device, a target icon that indicates that instructions are available to a user, and in response enable a command and control scheme for command and control of an external application resident on the external device, andwherein the command and control scheme of the external application is configured to use user actions captured by the camera as input to the external application, to send a request for the instructions to the external application in response to the user actions captured by the camera of the interactive head-mounted device, and to present the instructions to the user of the interactive head- mounted device responsive to the external application sending the instructions.

6. On a head-mounted display device including an optical assembly through which a surrounding environment and displayed content are viewable, an integrated processor for handling content for display to a user, an integrated image source for introducing the content to the optical assembly, a communications facility configured to connect an external device to the interactive head-mounted display device, a sensor configured to detect an event or condition, and a camera to provide image data for tracking a user action as input, a method comprising:
-
detecting, via data from the sensor, a target icon in the surrounding environment that indicates that instructions are available to the user; connecting to the external device via the communications facility; in response to detecting the target icon, activating a command and control scheme for command and control of an external application resident on the external device; detecting a user action via the camera; translating the user action into input to the external application;
sending a request to the external application for the instructions;receiving instructions from the external application in response to the input; and presenting the instructions on the optical assembly. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9)
