Abstract

Aspects of the present invention relate to communication technologies for securely sharing information in head worn computing.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

a. Identifying a second HWC in close proximity to a first HWC;

b. Determining that the first and second HWC'"'"'s have viewing angles that are substantially aligned, of opposite direction and positioned such that they are predicted to be facing each other; and

c. Causing information to be shared between the first and second HWC.
