Systems, devices, and methods for providing assistance in human-to-human interactions are described. When it is determined that a user of a wearable heads-up display is interacting with another human, interaction assistance information can be presented to the user, such as biographic information relating to the other human, indication of emotional states of the user and/or other human, indication of when the interaction is one-sided, candidate conversation topics and candidate conversation questions. Additionally, interaction assistance functions or applications can also be provided which enable recording and storing of interactions, generation of summaries or lists based on the interaction, transcription of the interaction, note taking, event input, and notification management.

The present systems, devices, and methods generally relate to controlling wearable displays during vehicle operation, and particularly to detecting when a user is operating a vehicle and restricting operation of a wearable display to prevent the user from being distracted. At least one processor of a wearable display system receives user context data from at least one user context sensor, and determines whether the user is operating a vehicle based on the user context data. If the user is operating a vehicle, presentation of at least one user interface is restricted. Unrestricted access can be restored by inputting an unlock input to override the restriction, or by analysis of additional user context data at a later time.

Systems and methods for displaying a visual interface in a display of a head-mounted wearable device when the display may occlude objects in the user's physical environment while in use. An image detection device oriented generally in-line with the user's line of sight is used to capture at least one image. One or more objects are detected in the at least one image and, based on the detection of the one or more objects, an environmental interaction mode may be activated or deactivated. In the environmental interaction mode, the user interface may be modified or disabled to facilitate viewing of the physical environment.

A method of pervasive memory augmentation includes receiving a request to augment a memory via a heads-up display having a field of view and generating one or more processor-readable memory cues that are connected to the memory. A cued content is generated based on the one or more processor-readable memory cues. The cued content is presented in a display space in the field of view of the heads-up display on a spaced repetition schedule.

Systems, devices, and methods for notification management are described. At least one processor determines whether a user is interacting with another human based on user context data from at least one user context sensor, such as a microphone, a camera, an IMU, an eye tracking system, or proximity sensors, and modifies presentation of notification content if the user is interacting with another human. Modification of presentation of notification content can include repositioning or resizing displayed notification content; modifying intensity, frequency, or pattern of vibratory notification presentation; changing visual notification presentation to vibratory presentation; changing vibratory notification presentation to visual presentation; and delaying presentation of notification content, for example. The at least one processor can also analyze priority level of at least one notification to determine whether presentation of the notification content should be modified, or whether the notification content should be presented immediately without modification.
