1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a platform mechanically adapted to be worn on a head of a user;
a see-through image display mounted on the platform and adapted to present image content to an eye of the user, wherein the see-through image display also provides the user a see-through view of an environment proximate the user;
a removable and replaceable eye cover adapted to connect to the platform, wherein the eye cover is further adapted to contain light from escaping an internal cavity formed at a facial interface with the user; and
a removable and replaceable outer lens mounted on the platform along an optical axis in-line with the user'"'"'s see-through view of the environment,wherein the eye cover is adapted to connect to the platform with a magnet.

Abstract
Aspects of the present invention relate to methods and systems for a head-worn computer with a content display where the head-worn computer can be changed from an augmented reality system where there is relatively high see-through transmission through the display to a virtual reality system where the is no or relatively little see-through transmission through the display.
