Patent Images
1. A head mounted device comprising:
- a helmet;
an ambient light sensor disposed in an outside surface of the helmet and configured to measure ambient light outside the helmet;
a pupil dimension sensor disposed in a housing of the helmet and configured to measure a size of a pupil of a wearer of the helmet;
a lighting element disposed in the outside surface of the helmet and directed away from the pupil of the wearer of the helmet, the lighting element being configured to illuminate a physical object external to the head mounted device; and
a dynamic lighting system configured to control the lighting element and adjust an intensity of the lighting element based on the ambient light and the pupil size of the wearer of the helmet.

Abstract
A head mounted device includes a helmet, an ambient light sensor, a pupil dimension sensor, a lighting element, and a dynamic lighting system. The ambient light sensor is disposed in an outside surface of the helmet and measures ambient light outside the helmet. The pupil dimension sensor is disposed in a housing of the helmet and measures a size of a pupil of a wearer of the helmet. The lighting element is disposed in the outside surface of the helmet. The dynamic lighting system controls the lighting element and adjusts an intensity of the lighting element based on the ambient light and the pupil size of the wearer of the helmet.
