Abstract
The present disclosure includes a system and method for creating a modifiable shader layer associated with a lens of a head-mountable device (HMD). The method includes providing a modifiable shader layer associated with a lens of a head-mountable display (HMD), where the modifiable shader layer is provided in a first state, and includes at least one of Liquid Crystal Smectic-A (LCSMA), liquid crystal polymer composites (LCPC), electro-wetting display (EWD), electro-dispersive display (ELDD), or electrochromic display (ECD). The method further includes causing the modifiable shader layer to transition from the first state to a second state that is different from the first state, and determining, based on whether the modifiable shader layer is in the first state or the second state, content to present via the lens of the HMD. The first state and the second state are one of a transparent state, an opaque state, or a partially opaque state.
