Example virtual reality systems and methods are described. In one implementation, a camera captures 6DOF (6 Degrees of Freedom) 3D (Three-Dimensional) videos while the camera is in motion. A rendering system renders the 6DOF 3D videos while minimizing vestibulo-ocular conflict. A virtual reality system presents the rendered 6DOF 3D videos to a user of the virtual reality system.

A multilayered optical prism assembly with a sub-array of micro-mirror strips between each layer such that light passing through the assembly has an increased path length to facilitate focusing and a curved reflector increases the field of view with the light being presented through an array of pinhole micro-mirrors consisting of a combination of the sub-arrays.

In one embodiment, a method includes rendering, for a VR display device and based on a field of view of a user, a first output image of a VR environment comprising a virtual boundary corresponding to a real-world environment; determining, responsive to the user approaching within a first threshold distance of the virtual boundary, a speed of movement and the field of view of the user; accessing one or more images of the real-world environment captured by one or more cameras of the VR display device; and rendering, for the VR display device, a second output image comprising a portion of the VR environment and a portion of a passthrough view of the real-world environment based on the accessed images, where an area of the portion of the passthrough view is based on the determined speed of movement and the field of view of the user.

A dual-aperture zoom camera comprising a Wide camera with a respective Wide lens and a Tele camera with a respective Tele lens, the Wide and Tele cameras mounted directly on a single printed circuit board, wherein the Wide and Tele lenses have respective effective focal lengths EFL.sub.W and EFL.sub.T and respective total track lengths TTL.sub.W and TTL.sub.T and wherein TTL.sub.W/EFL.sub.W>1.1 and TTL.sub.T/EFL.sub.T<1.0. Optionally, the dual-aperture zoom camera may further comprise an optical OIS controller configured to provide a compensation lens movement according to a user-defined zoom factor (ZF) and a camera tilt (CT) through LMV=CT*EFL.sub.ZF, where EFL.sub.ZF is a zoom-factor dependent effective focal length.

A system includes a dome, a wiper assembly, a position sensor and a control device. The wiper assembly includes a wiper blade configured to rotate around the dome. The position sensor may be configured to send a signal to a control device when a wiper blade passes the position sensor. The control device may include one or more processors configured to receive the signal from the position sensor and determine a location of the wiper blade relative to the dome based on the received signal.

An apparatus for vision testing comprises a visual test unit (VTU) configured to receive a patients face and perform the vision test on the patient. The VTU includes an internal display configured to generate a light stimulus and a gaze sensor configured to track the eye of the patient. In one aspect, a plurality of VTUs form a system controllable by a common technician to concurrently administer vision tests on different patients. In another aspect, the gaze sensor comprises a camera configured to capture a video of the patients eye displayed to the technician. In another aspect, the VTU is configured to pause testing upon detection of an adverse testing condition such as excessive head tilt or a closed eye. In another aspect, the test display comprises an array of LEDs and a perforated opaque screen to provide sufficient luminance. In another aspect, the VTU comprises a head mounted portion with a pair of focusing lenses and a mirror arranged to transmit light from the test display to the eyepiece and from the eyepiece to the gaze sensor. In another aspect, the VTU includes a patient input device configured to receive input from the patient to signal observance of a light stimulus in the visual field around a fixation point, and the VTU is configured to monitor the patients gaze and pause the test upon detecting that the patients gaze has moved from the fixation point.

An image display apparatus that makes it possible to improve the tracking accuracy, while making the image display apparatus smaller in size. An image display apparatus includes a light source section that emits image display light OL used to display an image, and light CL conjugate to the image display light OL; an optical system that projects the image display light OL emitted by the light source section onto a pupil of an eye of a user, and projects the conjugate light CL emitted by the light source section onto a portion around the pupil of the eye of the user; a detector that detects reflected light that corresponds to the conjugate light CL projected by the optical system to be reflected off the portion around the pupil; and a controller that controls a position of a display-target image on the basis of the reflected light detected by the detector.

A method for measuring performance of a head-mounted display module, the method including arranging the head-mounted display module relative to a plenoptic camera assembly so that an exit pupil of the head-mounted display module coincides with a pupil of the plenoptic camera assembly; emitting light from the head-mounted display module while the head-mounted display module is arranged relative to the plenoptic camera assembly; filtering the light at the exit pupil of the head-mounted display module; acquiring, with the plenoptic camera assembly, one or more light field images projected from the head-mounted display module with the filtered light; and determining information about the performance of the head-mounted display module based on acquired light field image.

A defrosting lens includes a lens barrel having an opening toward an object side, a first lens disposed in the lens barrel and located at the opening, and a heating member. The heating member is for providing a heat source and is disposed between an inner wall of the lens barrel and the first lens. The heating member is arranged along a peripheral edge of the first lens. By raising a temperature of the first lens through the heat source supplied by the heating member, frost formed on the first lens could be removed, thereby a definition of an image captured by the defrosting lens could be effectively improved, and the defrosting lens could be applied in various environments without being limited by the change of climate temperature difference.
