Providing enhanced images for navigation
Systems and methods relating to displaying images are disclosed. In one embodiment, sensor data is received via one or more sensors of a wearable head device comprising a display, the sensor data indicative of a surrounding environment of a user of the wearable head device. An image can be determined based on the sensor data, the image corresponding to the surrounding environment. A visibility of a first portion of the image corresponding to a first portion of the surrounding environment can be enhanced. Enhancing a visibility of a second portion of the image corresponding to a second portion of the surrounding environment can be forgone. The enhanced first portion of the image and a view of the second portion of the surrounding environment can be presented concurrently via the display of the wearable head device.
1. A method comprising:
receiving, via one or more sensors of a wearable head device comprising a display, sensor data indicative of a surrounding environment of a user of the wearable head device;
determining an image based on the sensor data, the image corresponding to the surrounding environment;
presenting, to the user via the display, a view comprising the image;
enhancing a visibility of a first portion of the view associated with a first portion of the surrounding environment; and
forgoing enhancing a visibility of a second portion of the view associated with a second portion of the surrounding environment;
wherein presenting the view to the user via the display comprises presenting the enhanced first portion of the view at a region of the display determined based on a position of an eye of the user relative to a field of view of the display.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein:
the display is a non-see-through display, and
the one or more sensors comprises one or more of a camera, an ultrasonic sensor, and a radar sensor.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving head tracking data; and
determining the position of the eye of the user relative to the field of view of the display based on the head tracking data.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving gesture data; and
determining the position of the eye of the user relative to the field of view of the display based on the gesture data.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein enhancing a visibility of a first portion of the view comprises increasing one or more of a magnification of the first portion of the view, a stabilization of the first portion of the view, a contrast of the first portion of the view, a brightness of the first portion of the view, a sharpness of the first portion of the view, and a color saturation of the first portion of the view.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein enhancing a visibility of a first portion of the view comprises changing a field of view of the first portion of the view.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein enhancing a visibility of a first portion of the view comprises presenting a graphical representation of a word in the first portion of the view.
8. A wearable system comprising:
a wearable head device comprising a display and one or more sensors; and
one or more processors configured to perform a method comprising:
receiving, via the one or more sensors, sensor data indicative of a surrounding environment of a user of the wearable head device;
determining an image based on the sensor data, the image corresponding to the surrounding environment;
presenting, to the user via the display, a view comprising the image;
enhancing a visibility of a first portion of the view associated with a first portion of the surrounding environment; and
forgoing enhancing a visibility of a second portion of the view associated with a second portion of the surrounding environment;
wherein presenting the view to the user via the display comprises presenting the enhanced first portion of the view at a region of the display determined based on a position of an eye of the user relative to a field of view of the display.
9. The wearable system of claim 8 , wherein:
the display is a non-see-through display, and
the one or more sensors comprises one or more of a camera, an ultrasonic sensor, and a radar sensor.
10. The wearable system of claim 8 , the method further comprising:
receiving head tracking data; and
determining the position of the eye of the user relative to the field of view of the display based on the head tracking data.
11. The wearable system of claim 8 , the method further comprising:
receiving gesture data; and
determining the position of the eye of the user relative to the field of view of the display based on the gesture data.
12. The wearable system of claim 8 , wherein enhancing a visibility of a first portion of the view comprises increasing one or more of a magnification of the first portion of the view, a stabilization of the first portion of the view, a contrast of the first portion of the view, a brightness of the first portion of the view, a sharpness of the first portion of the view, and a color saturation of the first portion of the view.
13. The wearable system of claim 8 , wherein enhancing a visibility of a first portion of the view comprises changing a field of view of the first portion of the view.
14. The wearable system of claim 8 , wherein enhancing a visibility of a first portion of the view comprises presenting a graphical representation of a word in the first portion of the view.
15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform a method comprising:
receiving, via one or more sensors of a wearable head device comprising a display, sensor data indicative of a surrounding environment of a user of the wearable head device;
determining an image based on the sensor data, the image corresponding to the surrounding environment;
presenting, to the user via the display, a view comprising the image;
enhancing a visibility of a first portion of the view associated with a first portion of the surrounding environment; and
forgoing enhancing a visibility of a second portion of the view associated with a second portion of the surrounding environment;
wherein presenting the view to the user via the display comprises presenting the enhanced first portion of the view at a region of the display determined based on a position of an eye of the user relative to a field of view of the display.
16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein:
the display is a non-see-through display, and
the one or more sensors comprises one or more of a camera, an ultrasonic sensor, and a radar sensor.
17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , the method further comprising:
receiving head tracking data; and
determining the position of the eye of the user relative to the field of view of the display based on the head tracking data.
18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , the method further comprising:
receiving gesture data; and
determining the position of the eye of the user relative to the field of view of the display based on the gesture data.
19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein enhancing a visibility of a first portion of the view comprises increasing one or more of a magnification of the first portion of the view, a stabilization of the first portion of the view, a contrast of the first portion of the view, a brightness of the first portion of the view, a sharpness of the first portion of the view, and a color saturation of the first portion of the view.
