Apple has filed for a patent (number 20210157143) for “modifying display operating parameters baed on light superposition from a physical environment” that involves the rumored “Apple Glasses,” an augmented reality/virtual reality head-mounted display.
In augmented reality (AR), computer-generated content is composited with a user’s physical environment in order to co-mingle computer generated visual content with real-world objects. A user may experience AR content by wearing a head-mountable device (HMD) that includes a translucent or transparent display, which, in turn, allows the pass-through of light from the user’s physical environment to the user’s eyes. The HMD operates as an additive display by adding computer-generated content to the light from the user’s physical environment.
