Head-Mounted Device With Publicly Viewable Display - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240296002 titled 'Head-Mounted Device With Publicly Viewable Display

The abstract describes a head-mounted device that can be worn on the user's face, featuring a user-viewable display for virtual reality images and a publicly viewable display for images visible to others near the user. The publicly viewable images may overlap facial features of the user, including captured images of user facial features or computer-generated graphics.

  • User-viewable display for virtual reality images
  • Publicly viewable display for images visible to others near the user
  • Overlapping of publicly viewable images with user facial features
  • User monitoring sensors for adjusting publicly viewable images
  • Captured images of user facial features or computer-generated graphics in publicly viewable images

Original Abstract Submitted

a head-mounted device may be worn on the face of a user. the head-mounted device may include a user-viewable display that presents inwardly directed user-viewable images such as virtual reality images to the user. the head-mounted device may also have a publicly viewable display that presents publicly viewable images to individuals near the user. the publicly viewable images may overlap facial features of the user's face. publicly viewable images may include captured images of user facial features or other content, may include computer-generated graphics such as user facial feature graphics, may contain a mixture of captured image content and overlaid graphics such as user facial feature graphics, or may contain other publicly viewable content. user monitoring sensors such as camera and gaze detection sensors, environmental sensors, and other circuitry in the head-mounted device may gather information that is used in adjusting the publicly viewable images.
