Automatic Text Scrolling On A Head-Mounted Display
First Claim
1. A head-mounted display device, comprising:
- a control circuita see-through lens;
a microdisplay associated with the see-through lens and responsive to the control circuit, the microdisplay projects augmented reality images including text through the see-through lens to an eye of a user; and
a sensor associated with the control circuit, the sensor tracks a gaze direction of the user, the control circuit, responsive to the sensor, controls the microdisplay to advance the text based on the gaze direction of the user, determines a reading speed of the user based on changes, including horizontal movements, in the gaze direction of the user over time, and controls the microdisplay to advance the text based on the reading speed of the user.

Abstract
A see-through head-mounted display (HMD) device, e.g., in the form of glasses, provides view an augmented reality image including text, such as in an electronic book or magazine, word processing document, email, karaoke, teleprompter or other public speaking assistance application. The presentation of text and/or graphics can be adjusted based on sensor inputs indicating a gaze direction, focal distance and/or biological metric of the user. A current state of the text can be bookmarked when the user looks away from the image and subsequently resumed from the bookmarked state. A forward facing camera can adjust the text if a real word object passes in front of it, or adjust the appearance of the text based on a color of pattern of a real world background object. In a public speaking or karaoke application, information can be displayed regarding a level of interest of the audience and names of audience members.
