Patent attributes
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to visual presentation techniques for indicating a location in a head-worn computer using an avatar. A method may include receiving a location indicative of a human presence at a location in an obscured environment, establishing a virtual location marker in a position that is visually available to a person wearing a head-worn computing system, wherein the virtual marker provides an indication of the location in the obscured environment, and generating an avatar as a representation of the human presence and presenting the avatar in a field of view of the head-worn computing system, wherein the presentation of the avatar is positioned in the field of view by visually associating the avatar with the location marker such that the avatar appears to remain at the location marker location, as perceived by a person wearing the head-worn computing system, independent of the head-worn computing system's viewing angle.
