Abstract

Embodiments include a head-worn display including a display panel sized and positioned to produce a field of view to present digital content to an eye of a user, and a processor adapted to present the digital content to the display panel such that the digital content is only presented in a portion of the field of view, the portion being in the middle of the field of view such that horizontally opposing edges of the field of view are blank areas. The processor is adapted to shift the digital content into one of the blank areas to adjust the convergence distance of the digital content and thereby change the perceived distance from the user to the digital content.

Claims (10)

1. A head-worn display, comprising:

a. a display panel sized and positioned to produce a field of view to present digital content to an eye of a user;

b. a processor adapted to present the digital content to the display panel such that the digital content is only presented in a portion of the field of view, the portion being in the field of view such that a horizontal edge of the field of view is a blank area; and

c. the processor further adapted to shift the digital content into the blank area to align the digital content with the eye of the user.

2. The head-worn display of claim 1 , wherein the digital content comprises an augmented reality object.

3. The head-worn display of claim 1 ,

wherein the blank area comprises approximately 10% or greater of a field of view lateral area.

4. The head-worn display of claim 1 , wherein a total amount of the blank area in the field of view, comprising a combined left portion of the field of view and right portion of the field of view, remains constant while the left and right portions of the field of view are changed to position the digital content within the field of view.

5. The head-worn display of claim 4 , wherein the digital content is positioned to adjust a convergence distance associated with the digital content.

6. The head-worn display of claim 4 , wherein the digital content is positioned to adjust an interpupillary distance associated with the digital content.
