IMAGING MODIFICATION, DISPLAY AND VISUALIZATION USING AUGMENTED AND VIRTUAL REALITY EYEWEAR
First Claim
1. A head-mounted display system configured to project light to an eye of a user to display augmented reality image content in a vision field of said user, said head-mounted display system comprising:
- a frame configured to be supported on a head of the user;
a head-mounted display disposed on the frame, said display configured to project light into said user'"'"'s eye to display augmented reality image content to the user'"'"'s vision field at different amounts of divergences as if projected from different distances from the user'"'"'s eye, at least a portion of said display being transparent and disposed at a location in front of the user'"'"'s eye when the user wears said head-mounted display device such that said transparent portion transmits light from a portion of the environment in front of the user and said head-mounted display to the user'"'"'s eye to provide a view of said portion of the environment in front of the user and said head-mounted display;
one or more user sensors configured to sense the user;
one or more environmental sensors configured to sense surroundings of the user;
processing electronics in communication with the display, the one or more user sensors, and the one or more environmental sensors, the processing electronics configured to;
sense a situation involving increased user focus; and
alter user perception of a real or virtual object within the vision field of the user based at least in part on sensing the increased focus.

Abstract
A display system can include a head-mounted display configured to project light to an eye of a user to display augmented reality image content to the user. The display system can include one or more user sensors configured to sense the user and can include one or more environmental sensors configured to sense surroundings of the user. The display system can also include processing electronics in communication with the display, the one or more user sensors, and the one or more environmental sensors. The processing electronics can be configured to sense a situation involving user focus, determine user intent for the situation, and alter user perception of a real or virtual object within the vision field of the user based at least in part on the user intent and/or sensed situation involving user focus. The processing electronics can be configured to at least one of enhance or de-emphasize the user perception of the real or virtual object within the vision field of the user.

1. A head-mounted display system configured to project light to an eye of a user to display augmented reality image content in a vision field of said user, said head-mounted display system comprising:
-
a frame configured to be supported on a head of the user; a head-mounted display disposed on the frame, said display configured to project light into said user'"'"'s eye to display augmented reality image content to the user'"'"'s vision field at different amounts of divergences as if projected from different distances from the user'"'"'s eye, at least a portion of said display being transparent and disposed at a location in front of the user'"'"'s eye when the user wears said head-mounted display device such that said transparent portion transmits light from a portion of the environment in front of the user and said head-mounted display to the user'"'"'s eye to provide a view of said portion of the environment in front of the user and said head-mounted display; one or more user sensors configured to sense the user; one or more environmental sensors configured to sense surroundings of the user; processing electronics in communication with the display, the one or more user sensors, and the one or more environmental sensors, the processing electronics configured to; sense a situation involving increased user focus; and alter user perception of a real or virtual object within the vision field of the user based at least in part on sensing the increased focus. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A head-mounted display system configured to project light to an eye of a user to display augmented reality image content, said user'"'"'s eye having a vision field having a central region and a peripheral region disposed about said central region, said head-mounted display system comprising:
-
a frame configured to be supported on a head of the user; a head-mounted display disposed on the frame, said display configured to project light into said user'"'"'s eye so as to present image content at said central region of said user'"'"'s vision field, at least a portion of said display being transparent and disposed at a location in front of the user'"'"'s eye when the user wears said head-mounted display device such that said transparent portion transmits light from a portion of the environment in front of the user and said head-mounted display to the user'"'"'s eye to provide a view of said portion of the environment in front of the user and said head-mounted display; processing electronics in communication with said display to control presentation of image content on said display, wherein said head-mounted display system is configured to present image content to said central region of the user'"'"'s vision field that is enhanced in comparison to image content presented to the peripheral region of the user'"'"'s vision field. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
