The present invention discloses an improved method and device for the immersive display of three-dimensional images with convertible eyeglasses and wristwatch structures. An improved method for manufacturing a visual display incorporating a scanned light source and an improved method of presenting visual information are disclosed. A complete, immersive display environment is also presented.

A method for adjusting a display device with a holder that can be fitted on the head of a user includes a front section in which two spectacle lenses are arranged which are connected to each other via a central part, an imaging unit secured to the holder, which generates an image, and an imaging optical system secured to the holder which, when the holder is fitted on the head of the user, images the generated image into an exit pupil such that the user can perceive it as a virtual image with his first eye. The first spectacle lens with the coupling-out section is positioned in such a way that the exit pupil of the imaging optical system coincides at least partially with the pupil of the first eye of the user when the holder is fitted on the head of the user.

A retaining device for reading glasses comprises a lanyard and counterweights slidable engaging the lanyard. The counterweights are movable by sliding such that the counterweights hang in behind a user's ears to retain glasses on the user, when foldable temple pieces do not include ear pieces, such that the temple pieces do no rest on a user's ears. Instead, the lanyard extends over the user's ears and the counterweights apply a force, due to gravity, that acts opposite to the force of gravity on the glasses, retaining the glasses on the user's nose. For example, the glasses may be foldable into a pendant and may be retained on the user's neck until needed.

An assembly comprises a pince-nez molded in one piece and comprises a substantially planar structure which has a first rim provided with a first lens and a second rim provided with a second lens, the structure having a plane which passes through the first and second rims and the first and second lenses, the first and second rims each being extended by a linkage which connects them together; a holding element intended to be secured to the pince-nez is in contact with the linkage and comprises at least two portions, the holding element secured to the linkage being elastically deformable between a storage position whereby the portions are separated from each other, and a tensioned position whereby the portions are constrained closer together; and a case intended to contain the pince-nez for the storage of the pince-nez.

An eyeglass structure includes a bridge, a first frame portion, and a second frame portion. The bridge includes a first lateral bridge column and a second lateral bridge. The first frame portion includes a first leaf spring having a distal portion configured to reach around and rotate about the first lateral bridge column. A first tab configured to engage the bridge to limit rotation of the first frame portion is further included in the first frame portion. Likewise, the second frame portion includes a second leaf spring having a distal portion configured to reach around and rotate about the second lateral bridge column, and a second tab configured to engage the bridge to limit rotation of the second frame portion.
