18. On an interactive head-mounted display device comprising an optical assembly through which displayed content and at least a portion of a surrounding environment are viewable, an integrated processor for handling content for display via the optical assembly, an integrated image source for introducing the content to the optical assembly, a sensor, and a photochromic layer and a heater layer disposed on a see-through lens of the optical assembly, a method comprising:
-
receiving an input from the sensor; processing the input via the integrated processor to determine a command; and heating the photochromic layer via the heater layer based upon the command to accelerate a transition of the photochromic layer from darker to less dark. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
