User Interface for a Head Mounted Display

摘要

A user interface (UI) of a head mounted display (HMD) is provided that allows a user to access one or more persistent data elements that are otherwise outside the user's initial field of view by using a head movement, such as a head tilt (i.e., movement about a horizontal axis) and/or rotation (i.e., movement about a vertical axis). Embodiments also can provide for further movement and/or other manipulation of data of persistent data elements with further detected movement of the user's head.

主权项

1. A method for displaying data by a see-through head mounted display (HMD):
determining a first field of view of a user of the HMD; receiving sensor input from at least one sensor; detecting, using the sensor input, a first movement of the user's head about an axis, causing the user to have a second field of view; and causing the HMD to display one or more persistent data elements in the second field of view, based on the detected first movement.
