OPTICAL CONFIGURATIONS FOR HEAD WORN COMPUTING
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A head-worn computer, comprising:
- a. an image light production facility including a platform including a plurality of multi-positional mirrors;
b. a lighting facility adapted to produce a narrow bandwidth of visible illumination light to substantially uniformly illuminate the platform;
c. wherein each of the multi-positional mirrors has a first state positioned to reflect a portion of the illumination light, forming image light, on an optical axis in-line with a holographic mirror;
d. the holographic mirror adapted to reflect a substantial portion of the narrow bandwidth of the image light directly, without further reflections, towards an eye of a person wearing the head-worn computer; and
e. the holographic mirror further adapted to transmit substantially all visible spectrum light other than the narrow bandwidths of the image light to provide high transmissivity of light from a surrounding environment.
