First Claim
Patent Images
1. A head-worn computer, comprising:
- a see-through optical system adapted to visually present digital content to an eye of a person wearing the head-worn computer, wherein the person can see a surrounding environment through the see-through optical system, the see through optical system further comprising;
a partially reflective combiner adapted to reflect, towards the eye, display light based on the digital content, wherein the partially reflective combiner is in-line with an optical axis that provides the eye with the see through view of the surrounding environment, wherein the partially reflective combiner includes an electronically controllable surface to regulate a see through transparency percentage of the partially reflective combiner.
