Augmented reality systems and methods utilizing reflections
First Claim
1. A display system, comprising:
- a wearable display device comprising;
a display area comprising light redirecting features configured to direct light to a user, wherein the display area is at least partially transparent and is configured to provide a view of an ambient environment through the display area;
one or more hardware processors; and
a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more hardware processors, cause the one or more hardware processors to perform operations comprising;
determining that a specular reflection is within the user'"'"'s field of view through the display area, wherein determining that the specular reflection is within the user'"'"'s field of view comprises;
receiving an indication of diffusion of detected reflected electromagnetic radiation or acoustical waves; and
determining that a specular reflection is present if the indicated diffusion is below a threshold.

Abstract
A display system comprises a wearable display device for displaying augmented reality content. The display device comprises a display area comprising light redirecting features that are configured to direct light to a user. The display area is at least partially transparent and is configured to provide a view of an ambient environment through the display area. The display device is configured to determine that a reflection of the user is within the user'"'"'s field of view through the display area. After making this determination, augmented reality content is displayed in the display area with the augmented reality content augmenting the user'"'"'s view of the reflection. In some embodiments, the augmented reality content may overlie on the user'"'"'s view of the reflection, thereby allowing all or portions of the reflection to appear to be modified to provide a realistic view of the user with various modifications made to their appearance.
