摘要

The present application relates to human/computer interfaces and more particularly to a wireless computing headset with one or more microdisplay devices that can provide hands-free remote control of attached or remote peripheral devices, systems and/or networks. A wireless hands-free video computing headset, and corresponding method, enabling communication with a host processor to provide the user omnipresent expertise is disclosed. The wireless hands-free video computing headset, which includes a microdisplay device to present information to the user graphically, communicates with a host processor to provide the user with an expert resource. The expert resource may take numerous forms, such as diagnostic software, or live human support. The wireless hands-free video computing headset is useful by enabling the user to focus his or her attention, and maintain his or her focus, on a physical subject by enabling hands-free control, enabling the user the ability to continuously manipulate the subject manually with his or her hands as needed.
