Embodiment Construction

)

[0051]Aspects of the present disclosure relate to head-worn computing (“HWC”) systems. HWC involves, in some instances, a system that mimics the appearance of head-worn glasses or sunglasses. The glasses may be a fully developed computing platform, such as including computer displays presented in each of the lenses of the glasses to the eyes of the user. In embodiments, the lenses and displays may be configured to allow a person wearing the glasses to see the environment through the lenses while also seeing, simultaneously, digital imagery, which forms an overlaid image that is perceived by the person as a digitally augmented image of the environment, or augmented reality (“AR”).

[0052]HWC involves more than just placing a computing system on a person's head. The system may need to be designed as a lightweight, compact and fully functional computer display, such as wherein the computer display includes a high resolution digital display that provides a high level of emersion comprise...

Abstract

Aspects of the present disclosure relate aids for the visually impaired. An apparatus to assist a visually impaired person in navigating an environment includes a head-worn computer, a radar system mounted on the head-worn computer and positioned to measure distances to objects in the environment within an angular field in front of the visually impaired person wearing the head-worn computer, and a processor adapted to process the measured distances from the radar system and to identify objects in the environment that are within the angular field in front of the visually impaired person. The processor is further adapted to generate feedback cues to the visually impaired person in correspondence to the measured distances within the angular field in front of the visually impaired person as the visually impaired person moves his head from side to side while navigating the environment.

Description

CLAIM TO PRIORITY[0001]This application is a continuation of the following U.S. patent application, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety: U.S. application Ser. No. 15 / 056,573, filed Feb. 29, 2016 (ODGP-3019-U01).BACKGROUND[0002]Field of the Invention[0003]This disclosure relates to head-worn computer systems adapted to assist visually impaired people.[0004]Description of Related Art[0005]Head mounted displays (HMDs) and particularly HMDs that provide a see-through view of the environment are valuable instruments. The presentation of content in the see-through display can be a complicated operation when attempting to ensure that the user experience is optimized. Improved systems and methods for presenting content in the see-through display are required to improve the user experience.SUMMARY[0006]Aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and systems for providing visual assistance to the visually impaired.[0007]These and other systems, methods, objects, feature...
