Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0106298A1] In accordance with the present invention, an integrated method and apparatus for communication is provided. In one embodiment, a head-mounted viewable display system for a user is provided. This system includes eyewear (11) and a micro-optical display (12). The micro-optical display (12) is positioned in the field of vision of the user and is configured to correct a portion of the refractive error of the user. In another embodiment of the present invention, an integrated communication system is provided. This communication system contains a head mounted frame, a speaker (66) mounted to the frame, a lens mounted to the frame, a micro-optical display (62) having a micro-character display supported by the frame, a microprocessor (60) supported by the frame, and a wireless communication device mounted on the frame, the wireless communication device in communication with the microprocessor. In still another embodiment of the present invention, a method of displaying information to a user is provided. This method includes displaying a first line of characters on a micro-optical display having a micro-character display and using an optical element to project the first line of characters in the field of vision of the user.
