Abstract

In an example in accordance with the present disclosure, an augmented reality (AR) display device is described. The AR display device includes a frame to be worn on a head of a user and a lens disposed within the frame. A user is to view a physical scene through the lens. The lens includes multiple regions. Each region is individually addressable and has a tint value that is individually adjustable. The AR display device also includes an input to receive virtual content to be presented on the lens and an imaging system to present the virtual content on the lens. The AR display device also includes a controller which 1) identifies a first region of the lens on which the virtual content is to be presented and 2) selectively adjusts a tint of the first region while suppressing a tint adjustment to a second region of the transparent lens.
