EXTERNAL USER INTERFACE FOR HEAD WORN COMPUTING
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to external user interfaces used in connection with head worn computers (HWC). Embodiments relate to an external user interface that has a physical form intended to be hand held. The hand held user interface may be in the form similar to that of a writing instrument, such as a pen. In embodiments, the hand held user interface includes technologies relating to writing surface tip pressure monitoring, lens configurations setting a predetermined imaging distance, user interface software mode selection, quick software application launching, and other interface technologies.
1 . A device, comprising:
a housing supporting a personal performance monitoring sensor the sensor adapted to communicate performance data to an HWC; and
the housing being mechanically connected to a watchband clip, the watchband clip adapted to be removably and replaceably attached to a watchband.
2 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the device further comprises a HWC user interface for controlling an aspect of a software application operating on the HWC.
3 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the device further comprises an IMU for monitoring motion of the device, wherein the motion is interpreted as a gesture control command for controlling an aspect of a software application operating on a HWC.
4 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the device further comprises a display that displays information relating to a software application operating on a HWC.
4 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the device further comprises a display that displays information relating to the performance data.
5 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the device further comprises a quick launch interface adapted to launch a predetermined software application on the HWC.
6 . A device, comprising:
a strap supporting a personal performance monitoring sensor, the sensor adapted to communicate performance data to a head-worn computer; and
the strap being mechanically configured to attach to a watch body and function as a watchband.
7 . A device, comprising:
a housing supporting a personal performance monitoring sensor the sensor adapted to monitor a human performance condition of a wearer of the device; and
the housing being mechanically connected to a watchband clip, the watchband clip adapted to be removably and replaceably attached to a watchband.
