Connecting Head Mounted Displays To External Displays And Other Communication Networks
First Claim
1. A head-mounted display device, comprising:
- at least one see-through lens;
at least one image projection source associated with the at least one see-through lens;
at least one control circuit in communication with the at least one image projection source, the at least one control circuit;
provides an experience comprising at least one of audio and visual content at the head-mounted display device;
determines if a condition is met to provide a continuation of at least part of the experience at a target computing device; and
if the condition is met, communicates data to the target computing device to allow the target computing device to provide the continuation of the at least part of the experience, the continuation of the at least part of the experience comprises at least one of the audio and the visual content.

Abstract
An audio and/or visual experience of a see-through head-mounted display (HMD) device, e.g., in the form of glasses, can be moved to target computing device such as a television, cell phone, or computer monitor to allow the user to seamlessly transition the content to the target computing device. For example, when the user enters a room in the home with a television, a movie which is playing on the HMD device can be transferred to the television and begin playing there without substantially interrupting the flow of the movie. The HMD device can inform the television of a network address for accessing the movie, for instance, and provide a current status in the form of a time stamp or packet identifier. Content can also be transferred in the reverse direction, to the HMD device. A transfer can occur based on location, preconfigured settings and user commands.

14. A head-mounted display device, comprising:
-
at least one see-through lens; at least one microdisplay associated with the at least one see-through lens; at least one control circuit in communication with the at least one microdisplay, the at least one control circuit; determines if a condition is met to provide a continuation at the head-mounted display device of at least part of a experience at target computing device, the experience provided at the target computing device comprises at least one of audio and visual content; if the condition is met, receives data from the target computing device; and based on the data, provides, at the head-mounted display device, the continuation of the at least part of the experience, the continuation of the at least part of the experience comprises at least one of the audio and the visual content. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A head-mounted display device, comprising:
-
at least one see-through lens; at least one microdisplay associated with the at least one see-through lens; at least one control circuit in communication with the at least one microdisplay, the at least one control circuit; provides an experience comprising visual content at the head-mounted display device, at an initial virtual location which is not registered to a display surface; determines if a condition is met to provide a continuation of the experience at the display surface; and if the condition is met, modifies the experience to continue the experience at a virtual location which is registered to the display surface. - View Dependent Claims (20)
