Abstract

Aspects of the present invention relate to methods and systems for a head-worn computer with a content display where the head-worn computer can be changed from an augmented reality system where there is relatively high see-through transmission through the display to a virtual reality system where the is no or relatively little see-through transmission through the display.

Claims (25)

1. A stray light suppression system, comprising:

a shroud mechanically adapted to be removably and replaceably mounted to a see-through display system adapted to be worn on the head of a user;

the shroud further adapted to, when mounted on the see-through display system, suppress light emitted from the see-through display system and suppress surrounding environment light from entering sides of the see-through display system; and

the shroud further comprising a peripheral lighting effects system;

wherein the shroud further includes a tactile effects system adapted to effect tactile effects in coordination with content presented in a field of view, wherein the tactile effects system includes a piezo vibratory system, and wherein the piezo vibratory system is positioned on a side of the eye cover.

2. A stray light suppression system, comprising:

a shroud mechanically adapted to be removably and replaceably mounted to a see-through display system adapted to be worn on the head of a user;

the shroud further adapted to, when mounted on the see-through display system, suppress light emitted from the see-through display system and suppress surrounding environment light from entering sides of the see-through display system; and

the shroud further comprising a peripheral lighting effects system;

wherein the shroud further includes a tactile effects system adapted to effect tactile effects in coordination with content presented in a field of view, wherein the tactile effects system includes a piezo vibratory system, and wherein the piezo vibratory system is positioned on top of the eye cover.

3. A stray light suppression system, comprising:

a shroud mechanically adapted to be removably and replaceably mounted to a see-through display system adapted to be worn on the head of a user;

the shroud further adapted to, when mounted on the see-through display system, suppress light emitted from the see-through display system and suppress surrounding environment light from entering sides of the see-through display system; and

the shroud further comprising a peripheral lighting effects system;

wherein the shroud further includes a tactile effects system adapted to effect tactile effects in coordination with content presented in a field of view, wherein the tactile effects system includes a piezo vibratory system, and wherein the piezo vibratory system is positioned on bottom of the eye cover.

4. A stray light suppression system, comprising:

a shroud mechanically adapted to be removably and replaceably mounted to a see-through display system adapted to be worn on the head of a user;

the shroud further adapted to, when mounted on the see-through display system, suppress light emitted from the see-through display system and suppress surrounding environment light from entering sides of the see-through display system; and

the shroud further comprising a peripheral lighting effects system,

wherein the peripheral light effects system produces lighting effects with LEDs or OLEDs.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the lighting effects are colored lighting effects.

6. A stray light suppression system, comprising:

a shroud mechanically adapted to be removably and replaceably mounted to a see-through display system adapted to be worn on the head of a user;

the shroud further adapted to, when mounted on the see-through display system, suppress light emitted from the see-through display system and suppress surrounding environment light from entering sides of the see-through display system; and

the shroud further comprising a peripheral lighting effects system, wherein the peripheral lighting effects system includes a light source substantially surrounding the inside cavity for controlled placement of the effect lighting direction.
