Original Abstract Submitted
Intelligently illuminating an environment includes receiving, at a head mounted device, information indicative of ambient lighting conditions in the environment. In accordance with a determination that the ambient lighting conditions do not satisfy a brightness criterion, one or more first illuminators on the head mounted device are activated to project light in a first spectrum. While the one or more first illuminators are activated, image data of the environment is captured. A region of interest is determined in the environment based on the captured image data, and a second one or more illuminators are activated to project light in a visible light spectrum different than the first spectrum.
