Abstract

Methods and systems for presenting digital content on a see-through display are disclosed. In some embodiments, the digital content is presented based on a display attribute associated with personal information related to a user of a wearable head device comprising the see-through display. In some embodiments, the digital content is associated with a geo-spatial location of a physical structure, and presenting the digital content on the see-through display comprises indicating a spatial relationship between the digital content and the physical structure.

Claims (61)

1. A method, comprising:

retrieving personal information relating to a user of a wearable head device;

receiving digital content associated with a location type, wherein the digital content comprises an advertisement;

determining, via one or more sensors of the wearable head device, whether the user is at a geo-spatial location associated with the location type;

detecting, via the one or more sensors of the wearable head device, a physical structure associated with the geo-spatial location; and

in accordance with a determination that the user is at the geo-spatial location, presenting the advertisement on a see-through display of the wearable head device,

wherein:

presenting the advertisement on the see-through display comprises indicating a spatial relationship between the advertisement and the physical structure, and further comprises presenting the advertisement on the see-through display based on the personal information.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the personal information comprises one or more of demographic information, behavioral information, and travel information.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the advertisement is presented further in accordance with a determination that the wearable head device is oriented in a direction associated with the digital content.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a selection of the digital content via a user interface; and

in response to receiving the selection of the digital content, repositioning the advertisement with respect to the see-through display.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

identifying an object obstructing a view of the user; and

updating the presentation of the digital content to indicate the object obstructing the view.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving sensor information from the wearable head device; and

updating a position of the presentation of the advertisement based on the sensor information.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the physical structure comprises one or more of a sports complex, a restaurant, a home of the user, and a place of work of the user.

8. A wearable head device, comprising:

one or more sensors;

a see-through display; and

one or more processors configured to perform a method comprising:

retrieving personal information relating to a user of the wearable head device;

receiving digital content associated with a location type, wherein the digital content comprises an advertisement;

determining, via the one or more sensors of the wearable head device, whether the user is at a geo-spatial location associated with the location type;

detecting, via the one or more sensors, a physical structure associated with the geo-spatial location;

in accordance with a determination that the user is at the geo-spatial location, presenting the advertisement on the see-through display,

wherein:

presenting the advertisement on the see-through display comprises indicating a spatial relationship between the advertisement and the physical structure, and further comprises presenting the advertisement on the see-through display based on the personal information.

9. The wearable head device of claim 8 , wherein the advertisement is presented further in accordance with a determination, based on the one or more sensors, that the wearable head device is oriented in a direction associated with the advertisement.

10. The wearable head device of claim 8 , wherein the method further comprises:

in response to receiving a selection of the digital content, via a user interface, repositioning the advertisement with respect to the see-through display.

11. The wearable head device of claim 8 , wherein the method further comprises:

identifying, via the one or more sensors, an object obstructing a view of the user; and

updating the presentation of the digital content to indicate the object obstructing the view.

12. The wearable head device of claim 8 , wherein the method further comprises:

receiving sensor information via the one or more sensors; and

updating a position of the presentation of the advertisement based on the sensor information.

13. The wearable head device of claim 8 , wherein the personal information comprises one or more of demographic information, behavioral information, and travel information.

14. The wearable head device of claim 8 , wherein the physical structure comprises one or more of a sports complex, a restaurant, a home of the user, and a place of work of the user.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions which, when executed, cause one or more processors to perform a method, the method comprising:

retrieving personal information relating to a user of a wearable head device;

receiving digital content associated with a location type, wherein the digital content comprises an advertisement;

determining, via one or more sensors of the wearable head device, whether the user is at a geo-spatial location associated with the location type;

detecting, via the one or more sensors of the wearable head device, a physical structure associated with the geo-spatial location; and

in accordance with a determination that the user is at the geo-spatial location, presenting the advertisement on a see-through display of the wearable head device,

wherein:

presenting the advertisement on the see-through display comprises indicating a spatial relationship between the advertisement and the physical structure, and further comprises presenting the advertisement on the see-through display based on the personal information.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the advertisement is presented further in accordance with a determination, based on the one or more sensors, that the wearable head device is oriented in a direction associated with the advertisement.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the method further comprises:

receiving a selection of the digital content via a user interface; and

in response to receiving the selection of the digital content, repositioning the advertisement with respect to the see-through display.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the method further comprises:

identifying, via the one or more sensors, an object obstructing a view of the user; and

updating the presentation of the digital content to indicate the object obstructing the view.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the method further comprises:

receiving sensor information via the one or more sensors; and

updating a position of the presentation of the advertisement based on the sensor information.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the personal information comprises one or more of demographic information, behavioral information, and travel information.
