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 triggered command and control facility.

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; and

at least one sensor that detects at least one of an event and a physical quantity as input;

wherein when at least one of an event is detected at the eyepiece and the sensor receives the input, a command and control interface for command and control of the eyepiece is presented.
