Abstract:

A head-mounted device (HMD) includes sensors, a transparent display, a processor comprising an augmented reality (AR) application and an AR user interface module. The AR application generates virtual content based on sensing data from the sensors, and displays the virtual content in the transparent display. The AR user interface module generates an AR user interface that is positioned outside a field of view of a user based on the HMD being oriented at a reference pitch angle, causes a display of the AR user interface in the transparent display within the field of view of the user based on the HMD being oriented at a second pitch angle greater than the reference pitch angle, and causes a navigation of the AR user interface in response to a motion of the HMD and an eye gaze of the user matching a user interface trigger pattern.
