Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media are disclosed for selectively rendering augmented reality content based on predictions regarding a user's ability to visually process the augmented reality content. For instance, the disclosed systems can identify eye tracking information for a user at an initial time. Moreover, the disclosed systems can predict a change in an ability of the user to visually process an augmented reality element at a future time based on the eye tracking information. Additionally, the disclosed systems can selectively render the augmented reality element at the future time based on the predicted change in the ability of the user to visually process the augmented reality element.

Systems and methods are provided for facilitating computer vision tasks (e.g., simultaneous location and mapping) and pass-through imaging include a head-mounted display (HMD) that includes a first set of one or more cameras configured for performing computer vision tasks and a second set of one or more cameras configured for capturing image data of an environment for projection to a user of the HMD. The first set of one or more cameras is configured to detect at least a visible spectrum light and at least a particular band of wavelengths of infrared (IR) light. The second set of one or more cameras includes one or more detachable IR filters configured to attenuate IR light, including at least a portion of the particular band of wavelengths of IR light.

Eyewear including a support structure defining a region for receiving a head of a user. The support structure supports optical elements, electronic components, and a use detector. The use detector is coupled to the electronic components and is positioned to identify when the head of the user is within the region defined by the support structure. The electronic components monitor the use detector and transition from a first mode of operation to a second mode of operation when the use detector senses the head of the user in the region.

Various embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and processes for constructing a contact lens. In one embodiment, a contact lens assembly is provided, comprising: a curved polymer polarizer with an aperture; a lenslet disposed inside the aperture wherein the lenslet enables imaging near objects; and a filter attached to the lenslet. In further embodiments, a method for fabricating a flexible contact lens is provided, comprising: fabricating an element having an extrusion; providing a front concave mold, wherein the front mold has an intrusion to accommodate the extrusion of the optical element; affixing the extrusion of the optical element to the intrusion of the front mold; attaching a back convex mold to the front concave mold, thereby forming a mold cavity; and filling the mold cavity with a pre-polymerized liquid, whereby upon polymerization, the pre-polymerized liquid forms the flexible contact lens and the optical element is partially encapsulated within the lens.

A near eye optical display includes a waveguide comprising a first surface and a second surface, an input coupler, a fold grating, and an output grating. The input coupler is configured to receive collimated light from a display source and to cause the light to travel within the waveguide via total internal reflection between the first surface and the second surface to the fold grating; the fold grating is configured to provide pupil expansion in a first direction and to direct the light to the output grating via total internal reflection between the first surface and the second surface; and the output grating is configured to provide pupil expansion in a second direction different than the first direction and to cause the light to exit the waveguide from the first surface or the second surface.

The invention relates to a device and a method for performing an eye gaze mapping (M), in which at least one point of vision (B) and/or a viewing direction of at least one person (10) in relation to at least one scene recording (S) of a scene (12) viewed by the at least one person (10) is mapped onto a reference (R). At least a part of an algorithm (A1, A2, A3) for performing the eye gaze mapping (M) is thereby selected from multiple predetermined algorithms (A1, A2, A3) as a function of at least one parameter (P), and the eye gaze mapping (M) is performed on the basis of the at least one part of the algorithm (A1, A2, A3).

A near-to-eye display device, includes: a display screen configured to display different images in a first time division mode, a polarization converter at a light-emitting side of the display screen and configured to convert emitted light of the different images displayed by the display screen into first circularly polarized light rays and second circularly polarized light rays in a second time division mode. Here the first circularly polarized light rays and the second circularly polarized light rays are opposite in rotation direction. The device further includes a polarization lens at a side facing away from the display screen of the polarization converter, and a focusing lens at a side facing away from the display screen of the polarization converter. The polarization lens and the focusing lens are configured to focus the first circularly polarized light rays and the second circularly polarized light rays at positions of different focal lengths.

A HMD including an image display that notifies detection of an abnormality, a DP six-axis sensor that detects whether the image display unit is mounted, and a DP control unit that executes a first reboot mode for rebooting the HMD in accordance with a first order when mounting of the image display unit is not detected and the abnormality of the HMD is detected, and a second reboot mode for rebooting the HMD in accordance with a second order when mounting of the image display unit is detected and the abnormality of the HMD is detected. An order of reboot of the image display unit in the second order is set before an order of reboot of the image display unit in the first order.

An adjustable frame assembly for augmented reality eyewear. The frame assembly includes a face portion for supporting at least one waveguide that creates an eye box, a support rest for supporting the face portion on a user, and a coupling for adjusting the position of the face portion relative to the support rest. This enables movement of the waveguide eye box relative to the support rest to position the eye box in front of the wearer's eyes.

A device is provided. The device includes a first lens assembly controllable to switch between a first plurality of optical powers. The first lens assembly includes a plurality of directly optically coupled lenses, and is configured to converge or diverge a light transmitted therethrough. The device also includes a second lens assembly coupled with the first lens assembly, and controllable to switch between a second plurality of optical powers that are opposite to the first plurality of optical powers.
