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 positioned along a side of the platform and adapted to produce a cone of illumination light along an optical axis directed away from a front surface of the platform and towards a substantially flat surface that substantially reflects the illumination light such that the front surface of the platform is substantially uniformly illuminated;
c. wherein each of the multi-positional mirrors has a first state positioned to reflect a portion of the illumination light, forming image light that is subsequently transmitted by the substantially flat surface and the image light is on an optical axis in-line with an eye of a person wearing the head-worn computer; and
d. an eye imaging camera positioned to capture an image of the eye of the person by capturing a portion of light reflected from the eye along the optical axis and reflecting off of a plurality of mirrors in a second state.
