Abstract

Claims (24)

1. A display device for facilitating a virtual experience for a user having a face, the display device comprising:

a display for displaying an image in a position on said display based on at least one display data, wherein at least a portion of said face of said user and said display have a first spatial relationship, and wherein said at least a portion of said face and said image on said display have a second spatial relationship;

at least one disturbance sensor for measuring a change in said first spatial relationship;

a processor communicatively coupled with said display device and configured for:

receiving a signal from said disturbance sensor corresponding to said change;

based on said signal, modifying said at least one display data to modify said position of said image on said display such that said second spatial relationship remains essentially the same.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein said display is attached to wearable.

3. The device of claim 2 , wherein said wearable is a helmet.

4. The device of claim 3 , wherein said display is a see-through display.

5. The device of claim 1 , wherein said at least one disturbance sensor comprises a camera.

6. The device of claim 5 , wherein said camera is connected to said display.

7. The device of claim 5 , wherein said camera is configured to capture multiple facial images of said at least a portion of said face to determine said change.

8. The device of claim 7 , wherein said change is determined by applying at least one image transform to said facial images.

9. The device of claim 5 , further comprising a calibration input configured to cause a reference facial image to be captured from which said change is determined.

10. The device of claim 5 , wherein said camera captures a facial image upon detection of a disturbance.

11. The device of claim 1 , wherein said change is based on a spatial parameter of said at least a portion of said face.

12. The device of claim 11 , wherein said at least one portion of said face comprises eyes of said user.

13. The device of claim 12 , wherein said spatial parameter is independent of a gaze of said user.

14. The device of claim 11 , wherein said change is based on a displacement of said spatial parameter relative to said camera.

15. The device of claim 11 , wherein said change is based on a rotation about at least one axis of said spatial parameter relative to the camera.

16. A method of facilitating a virtual experience for a user having a face, said method comprising:

displaying an image in a position on a display based on at least one display data, wherein at least a portion of said face of said user and said display have a first spatial relationship, and wherein said at least a portion of said face and said image on said display have a second spatial relationship

measuring a change in said first spatial relationship using at least one disturbance sensor;

based on a signal from at least one disturbance sensor corresponding to said change, modifying said at least one display data to modify said position of said image on said display such that said second spatial relationship remains essentially the same.
