determining, via the one or more sensors, an activity of the user;
determining whether to present a stimulus based on calendar data associated with the user; and
in accordance with a determination to present the stimulus:
adjusting a brightness of the transmissive display according to the activity;
presenting the stimulus, wherein presenting the stimulus comprises one or more of:
presenting, to the user via the lighting system, a light signal comprising a component at a first frequency;
presenting, to the user via the audio system, an audio signal comprising a component at the first frequency; and
presenting, to the user via the haptic system, a haptic signal comprising a component at the first frequency.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the calendar data comprises a travel itinerary, and wherein the determination to present the stimulus comprises a determination that a current time is at a predefined period of time of the travel itinerary.
9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the calendar data comprises a travel itinerary, and wherein the determination to present the stimulus comprises a determination of a distance of travel of the travel itinerary.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the determination of the distance comprises a determination that a time zone of a beginning of the travel itinerary is different from a time zone of an end of the travel itinerary.
11. The method of claim 7 , wherein the calendar data comprises a date, and wherein the determination to present the stimulus comprises a determination of a weather condition associated with a location of the wearable head device at the date.
12. The method of claim 7 , wherein the calendar data comprises a time of day, and wherein the determination to present the stimulus comprises a determination of a daylight condition based on the time of day.
13. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform a method comprising:
presenting to a user of a wearable head device, via a transmissive display of the wearable head device, a view of the user's environment, the wearable head device comprising:
one or more sensors;
a light emitting system adapted to provide a light signal to the user,
a sound system adapted to provide an audio signal to the user, and
a haptic system adapted to provide a haptic signal to the user;
determining, via the one or more sensors, an activity of the user;
determining whether to present a stimulus based on calendar data associated with the user; and
in accordance with a determination to present the stimulus:
adjusting a brightness of the transmissive display according to the activity;
presenting the stimulus, wherein presenting the stimulus comprises one or more of:
presenting, to the user via the lighting system, a light signal comprising a component at a first frequency;
presenting, to the user via the audio system, an audio signal comprising a component at the first frequency; and
presenting, to the user via the haptic system, a haptic signal comprising a component at the first frequency.
