Reactive user interface for head-mounted display

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention are directed toward allowing a see-through HMD to intelligently react to sensor and other input to adjust how visual elements showing video are displayed. The HMD can react to different sensor input in different ways, enabling the HMD to provide graduated responses based on the degree and type of sensor input received. These responses may further be based on a determination of the context of the user to help ensure an intelligent, appropriate response.

主权项

1. A method of providing a reactive video playback interface for a head-mounted display, the method comprising:
causing a display of the head-mounted display to show at least one visual element including a video, wherein the display is at least semi-transparent from a view of a user of the head-mounted display when no content is displayed; detecting a triggering event using a first set of sensor data from one or more sensors; changing a visibility of the video based on the triggering event while the video continues to be shown; and causing the display to show at least one new visual element based on the triggering event while the video continues to be shown, the at least one new visual element indicative of an environmental condition.
