ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL VIA WEARABLE COMPUTING SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A head-mounted computing system comprising:
- a see-through display configured to present an augmented reality image in front of an environment when viewed through the see-through display;
a logic subsystem; and
a storage subsystem holding instructions executable by the logic subsystem to;
present the augmented reality image via the see-through display; and
during presentation of the augmented reality image, send a command to control an environmental control system external to the head-mounted computing system, wherein the command is configured to trigger adjustment of an environmental parameter of the environment to enhance presentation of the augmented reality image.

Abstract
Various embodiments relating to controlling ambient environmental conditions to affect one or more human subjects wearing wearable computing systems are disclosed. In one example, a head-mounted computing system includes a see-through display configured to present an augmented reality image in front of an environment when viewed through the see-through display, a logic subsystem, and a storage subsystem. The storage subsystem may hold instructions executable by the logic subsystem to present the augmented reality image via the see-through display, and during presentation of the augmented reality image, send a command to control an environmental control system external to the head-mounted computing system. The command may be configured to trigger adjustment of an environmental parameter of the environment to enhance presentation of the augmented reality image.
