1. A head-mounted computing system comprising:

  • a see-through display configured to present an augmented reality image in front of a real-world environment when viewed through the see-through display;

    an optical sensor system configured to measure one or more environmental lighting parameters of the real-world environment;

    a logic subsystem; and

    a storage subsystem holding instructions executable by the logic subsystem to;

    present the augmented reality image via the see-through display;

    determine an image parameter of the image based on content in the augmented reality image;

    during presentation of the augmented reality image, receive one or more measured environmental lighting parameters from the optical sensor system, wherein the one or more measured environmental lighting parameters comprise one or more of an ambient light intensity and an ambient light color;

    determine that a display parameter of the see-through display has reached an end of an adjustment range; and

    in response to determining that the display parameter has reached the end of the adjustment range, during presentation of the augmented reality image, send a command to control an environmental control system external to the head-mounted computing system, wherein the command is configured to change one or more physical lighting parameters of the real-world environment to adjust the ambient light based on the image parameter of the image and the one or more measured environmental lighting parameters to visually enhance presentation of the augmented reality image.
