Abstract
Interacting with the light emitting components of the smart glasses can result in an unintended glow on the face of the glass wearer. The glow from smart glasses can make them appear conspicuous and draw unwanted attention to the user, which can be awkward in social settings and undermine the design goal of making wearable technology subtle and unobtrusive. This disclosure describes techniques to minimize facial glow caused by inward facing displays and/or other lighting elements in smart glasses by dynamically adjusting display settings in real-time based on measurements from device sensors such as inward-facing cameras, ambient light sensors, etc. The adjustments can be calculated dynamically by employing a suitably trained machine learning model to compare a baseline user appearance of the user with the device display turned off with real-time measurements of the user’s appearance when the display is turned on. Applying the adjustments can enable devices with wearable displays to adapt intelligently to the wearer and their environment, thus delivering a comfortable visual experience without adversely affecting the wearer’s natural appearance or drawing attention to the device.
