Abstract

Aspects of the present invention relate presentation of digital content, in a see-through display, representing a known location in an environment proximate to a head worn computer.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

a. Establishing a group movement tactical plan directing the general direction for the group of individuals to traverse an environment, each of the individuals wearing a head-worn computer that identifies the geo-spatial location of the head-worn computer, each head-worn computer having a see-through display;

b. Receiving a geo-spatial location from one of the group of individual'"'"'s head-worn computer; and

c. Presenting directional content to the one of the group of individual'"'"'s see-through display indicative of the tactical plan based on the individual'"'"'s geo-spatial location.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising presenting content to the one of the group of individual'"'"'s see-through display indicative of a geo-spatial position of at least one other of the persons of the group.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the directional content includes navigation instructions per the technical plan customized for the individual'"'"'s location.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the tactical plan is a military plan.
