A method for presenting an image on a display device (100) includes modifying the image by applying a geometric transformation to the image so that an area of the image on the display device is presented to a viewer with higher density of pixels than that in the rest of the image (S18).

Apparatuses and methods of operating the same are described. An apparatus including a display, an input device, and a processing device coupled to the display and the input device. The processing device may send an output to the display. The output may include a graphical object associated with a first step of a user-implemented procedure. The processing device may receive an input from the input device. The input may indicate a progress on an execution of the first step by an operator. The processing device may determine whether the input indicates that the operator has completed the first step. The processing device may determine whether the first step is a final step in the user-implemented procedure. The processing device may identify a second step in the user-implemented procedure when the input indicates that the operator has completed the first step and the first step is not a final step.

The invention pertains to methods and apparatus for compensating the rendering of virtual content in an augmented reality scene as a function of the white point, spectral distribution, color or other optical parameter of the real content in the scene.

Methods and apparatus provide for generating an image by way of acquiring information relating to at least one of a position and a rotation of a camera operated by a user. The image is generated for display on a display unit viewed by the user. A rate at which the image is generated is at a first frequency, which is lower than a second frequency corresponding to a frame rate of the display unit.

Systems and methods for controlling a head-up display (HUD) in a vehicle are disclosed herein. One embodiment deactivates the HUD in response to a command from a driver of the vehicle; assigns a level of urgency to an item of information associated with a current vehicular context; and activates the HUD to display the item of information to the driver, when the level of urgency exceeds a predetermined threshold.

Systems and methods for depth plane selection in display system such as augmented reality display systems, including mixed reality display systems, are disclosed. A display(s) may present virtual image content via image light to an eye(s) of a user. The display(s) may output the image light to the eye(s) of the user, the image light to have different amounts of wavefront divergence corresponding to different depth planes at different distances away from the user. A camera(s) may capture images of the eye(s). An indication may be generated based on obtained images of the eye(s), indicating whether the user is identified. The display(s) may be controlled to output the image light to the eye(s) of the user, the image light to have the different amounts of wavefront divergence based at least in part on the generated indication indicating whether the user is identified.

A bicycle system with omnidirectional viewing having front-facing, stereoscopic video camera devices relying on computer vision. The front-facing, stereoscopic video camera devices positioned on the bicycle help identify, classify, and recommend a safe trajectory around obstacles in real-time using augmented reality. The bicycle system details safety-related and guidance-related information.

An image orientation system is provided wherein images (rays of lights) are projected to a user based on the user's field of view or viewing angle. As the rays of light are projected, streams of air can be produced that bend or focus the rays of light toward the user's field of view. The streams of air can be cold air, hot air, or combinations thereof. Further, an image receiver can be utilized to receive the produced image/rays of light directly in line with the user's field of view. The image receiver can be a wearable device, such as a head mounted display.

To provide a head-mounted display and an information display apparatus that match the intuition of the user and are excellent in operability. A head-mounted display 1 according to an embodiment of the present technology includes a reception unit 12, an image display element 14, and a display processing unit 132. The reception unit 12 receives an operation signal including information on a relative position of a detection target in contact with an input operation surface 21, which is output from the input device 2. The image display element 14 forms an image V1 presented to a user. The display processing unit 132 causes, based on the operation signal, the image display element 14 to display an operation image V10 with an auxiliary image P indicating a position of the detection target being overlapped on the image V1.

A machine implemented method includes sensing entities in first and second domains. If a first stimulus is present and an entity is in the first domain, the entity is transferred from first to second domain via a bridge. If a second stimulus is present and an entity is in the second domain, the entity is transferred from second first domain via the bridge. At least some of the first domain is outputted. An apparatus includes a processor that defines first and second domains and a bridge that enables transfer of entities between domains, an entity identifier that identifies entities in the domains, a stimulus identifier that identifies stimuli, and a display that outputs at least some of the first domain. The processor transfers entities from first to second domain responsive to a first stimulus, and transfers entities from second to first domain responsive to a second stimulus.
