Augmented reality systems and methods utilizing reflections

This invention describes a see-through augmented reality headset that can show digital content overlaid on your own reflection. When you look at your reflection through the transparent display, the system detects it and then projects virtual images directly onto your reflected image, making it appear as if your reflection is being modified in real-time. The patent specifically covers a wearable device with light-redirecting features for this purpose.

Why it matters: Filed only one year ago, no fundamental technological shifts have occurred to simplify building this system. The primary obstacle remains integrating high-fidelity AR content with real-time reflection processing in a compact, wearable form factor.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedCustom optics, real-time software, wearable electronics
