Abstract

A waterproofed wearable displaying device with an augmented reality function. The wearable displaying device is in form of goggles. A waterproofer is attached in front of a lens of the goggle. A receiving space defined between the waterproofer and the lens is sealed. The wearable displaying device further includes an image capturing device and a display in the receiving space. When the user wears the wearable displaying device indoors or outdoors, the display faces to the user'"'"'s eyes, and modules in the device can detect air pressure and humidity in the goggles, to maintain air pressure within the goggles at a slight vacuum compared to the air pressure outside.
