SEE-THROUGH COMPUTER DISPLAY SYSTEMS WITH ADJUSTABLE ZOOM CAMERAS
Aspects of the present invention relate to methods and systems for the see-through computer display systems with adjustable-zoom cameras positioned such that their respective capture fields-of-view at least partially overlap at a target distance.
1 . A system comprising:
a wearable head device comprising a transmissive display comprising a first region and a second region; and
one or more processors in communication with the wearable head device, the one or more processors configured to:
present, in the first region of the transmissive display, content in a first display resolution, wherein a location and a size of the first region are adjusted based on an eye position of a user of the wearable head device,
predict, based on the eye position, that the content presented in the first region in the first display resolution will move to the second region, the second region configured to display in a second display resolution, the second display resolution different from the first display resolution, and
in accordance with the prediction that the content presented in the first region will move to the second region, update a resolution of the content, the updated resolution of the content between the first display resolution and the second display resolution.
2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein:
the one or more processors are further configured to present a stereo image.
3 . The system of claim 2 , wherein the transmissive display comprises a first display portion and a second display portion, wherein:
the one or more processors are further configured to output a first component of the stereo image via the first display portion and a second component of the stereo image via the second display portion.
4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein:
the first content is associated with a first field of view, and
the one or more processors are further configured to present second content associated with a second field of view different from the first field of view.
5 . The system of claim 4 , wherein the transmissive display is further configured to present at least a portion of the second content, concurrently with presenting the first content.
6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein a field of view associated with the second region is wider than a field of view associated with the first region.
7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein a field of view associated with the second region is narrower than a field of view associated with the first region.
8 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the eye position is determined via one or more sensors of the wearable head device.
9 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the one or more sensors comprise an inertial measurement unit, a GPS sensor, an accelerometer, or any combination thereof.
10 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the adjusting the location and the size of the first region is further based on a focal plane of the user.
11 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the focal plane is determined based on the eye position.
12 . A method, comprising:
presenting, in a first region of a transmissive display, content in a first display resolution, wherein a location and a size of the first region are adjusted based on an eye position of a user of the wearable head device;
predicting, based on the eye position, that the content presented in the first region in the first display resolution will move to a second region of the transmissive display, the second region configured to display in a second display resolution, the second display resolution different from the first display resolution, and
in accordance with the prediction that the content presented in the first region will move to the second region, updating a resolution of the content, the updated resolution of the content between the first display resolution and the second display resolution.
13 . The method of claim 12 , further comprising presenting a stereo image.
14 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the first content is associated with a first field of view, the method further comprising presenting second content associated with a second field of view different from the first field of view.
15 . The method of claim 12 , wherein a field of view associated with the second region is wider than a field of view associated with the first region.
16 . The method of claim 12 , wherein a field of view associated with the second region is narrower than a field of view associated with the first region.
17 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the eye position is determined via one or more sensors of the wearable head device.
18 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the adjusting the location and the size of the first region is further based on a focal plane of the user.
19 . The method of claim 18 , wherein the focal plane is determined based on the eye position.
20 . 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, in a first region of a transmissive display, content in a first display resolution, wherein a location and a size of the first region are adjusted based on an eye position of a user of the wearable head device;
predicting, based on the eye position, that the content presented in the first region in the first display resolution will move to a second region of the transmissive display, the second region configured to display in a second display resolution, the second display resolution different from the first display resolution, and
in accordance with the prediction that the content presented in the first region will move to the second region, updating a resolution of the content, the updated resolution of the content between the first display resolution and the second display resolution.
