Abstract
The disclosure relates to adjusting a brightness of an image displayed on a see-through display in response to a measured brightness of a see-through view. In one example, the brightness of the see-through view is measured via a sensor located behind a see-through display so that the measured brightness corresponds to the brightness perceived by the user'"'"'s eyes. Changes in brightness of the displayed image are determined in correspondence to changes in the measured brightness of the see-through view.

15. A method for controlling a brightness of a displayed image on a see-through head mounted display, the see-through head-mounted display comprising a brightness sensor behind a shield lens, the method comprising:
-
selecting the brightness of a displayed image relative to a see-through view on the head mounted display; measuring a brightness of the see-through view using the brightness sensor; adjusting an brightness of the displayed image automatically in correspondence to measured changes in the brightness of the see-through view; and providing the displayed image with the adjusted brightness to the head mounted display. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)
