Abstract

A method includes receiving a personally selected geo-spatial location from a sender of digital content for the presentation of the digital content in a recipient's head-worn see-through display, and presenting, based on data indicative that the user is near the geospatial location, the digital content in the head-worn see-through display such that the digital content is perceived by the recipient to be associated with a physical attribute proximate the geo-spatial location.

Claims (14)

1. A method, comprising:

receiving a personally selected geo-spatial location from a sender of digital content for the presentation of the digital content in a recipient's head-worn see-through display, wherein the sender selected the recipient from a personal contacts list and wherein the sender selected the geo-spatial location from a list of frequented geo-spatial locations of the recipient; and

presenting, based on data indicative that the user is near the geo-spatial location, the digital content in the head-worn see-through display such that the digital content is perceived by the recipient to be associated with a physical attribute proximate the geo-spatial location.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the digital content relates to the selected geo-spatial location.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the digital content does not relate to the selected geo-spatial location.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of presenting further includes presenting the digital content when the head-worn computer is aligned in a pre-selected direction.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: selecting the digital content with an external user interface to re-position the digital content.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of presenting further includes identifying a potentially obstructive view object and altering the digital content to indicate the potentially obstructive view.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of presenting further includes altering a position of the presentation based on sensor feedback.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sensor feedback is indicative of the user moving forward.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of presenting further includes presenting based on the recipient's personal information.
