Published: with international search report (Art. 21(3)) = (54) Title: MODULAR ADD-ON AUGMENTED REALITY HEAD-UP DISPLAY, INTERFACES AND CONTROLS FIG. 1A (57) : The present invention provides a modular heads-up augmented reality (AR) display system (100, 100a, 100b) that is removeably attached onto a host spectacle (10) or onto a helmet (15). The AR display system includes a processor module (110), a battery module (170), a trunking module (180) disposed between the processor and battery, and a display (projection) module (200). The display (projection) module is pivoted onto the processor module in an extended position (to provide AR view 300) or in a re- tracted position (for full reality view 300a). User interfaces of the AR display modes are intuitive and help to reduce cognitive load on the user. The AR display system provides a choice of realtime or autonomous control of an unmanned forward equipment (103). When configured for autonomous control a drone (103b), a multi -modal controller (400) allows the user a choice of voice control (1420), gesture control (1430) or brain sensory control (1440). 111111111111110111011111111111010111110111010111110101111111101111111111111110111111 W O 20 17 / 142480 Al
