Apparatus, including a retaining structure (), positioned near a subject's eye that has a pupil with a diameter, an optical combiner (A) mounted on the structure before the eye, and a pixelated screen (A) having an array of variably transparent pixels coating the combiner. There is an image capturing device (A) mounted on the structure to capture an image of a scene viewed by the eye, and a projector (A) is mounted on the structure to project at least one of a portion of the captured image and a stored image onto a section of the screen at a selected location thereof. A processor () renders the screen section at least partially opaque, selects the section location in response to a region of interest in the scene identified by analysis of the captured image, and determines a dimension of the section in response to the pupil diameter.

Combining video-based and optic-based augmented reality in a near eye display

Disclosed herein is a near eye assembly having a retaining structure (e.g., a spectacle frame or head up display mounted on a helmet) that is configured to be positioned in proximity to the eye of a user of the assembly. An optical combiner may be mounted on the retaining structure in front of the user eye. The optical combiner may at least partially transmit elements of a scene in front of the assembly through the combiner. In addition, the optical combiner may receive a visible radiation transmission derived from a scene, and/or a visual transmission such as a presentation of data or a marker, and redirect the transmission back to the user's eye.
