Abstract

This disclosure concerns an interactive head-mounted eyepiece with an integrated processor for handling content for display and an integrated image source for introducing the content to an optical assembly through which the user views a surrounding environment and the displayed content, wherein the eyepiece includes event and sensor input triggered user action capture device control.

Claims

1. A system, comprising:

an interactive head-mounted eyepiece worn by a user, wherein the eyepiece includes an optical assembly through which the user views a surrounding environment and displayed content, an integrated processor for handling content for display to the user, and an integrated image source for introducing the content to the optical assembly;

an event identifier; and

a user action capture device that detects a user action as input,

wherein when an event is detected the eyepiece a command and control interface based on the event is presented,

wherein the command and control interface accepts user actions captured by the user action capture device as input.
