A SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IMPROVING HOLISTIC WELLNESS OF HUMANS
20230158271 · 2023-05-25 ·

Disclosed herein a method for improving holistic wellness of humans, wherein said method comprises of synergizing the light and color via spectral wavelengths inducing Simultaneous Adjacent Chroma Stimulus (SACS), sound frequencies and projection art. The synergized light and color, sound frequencies and projection art provide a sensory experience that de-stresses and realigns the body, mind and soul. The corresponding system comprises of an enclosure having projection screens and multipurpose integrated apparatus, wherein said apparatus comprises of CONTENT projecting means, color and light producing means, sound producing means and geometric reflectors, wherein these are configured to project lights on to the projection screen shown through a story-telling format, wherein said light projecting means, light producing means, sound producing means, projecting screens and reflectors are relatively placed so as to optimally produce the desired response of de-stressing and breaking the vicious cycle of stress in humans.

Waveguide-based projector

A projector includes an illumination waveguide layer, a collimation waveguide layer, and a spatial modulator. The illumination waveguide layer expands a light beam which is coupled to the spatial modulator. The spatial modulator modulates the expanded light beam to provide a line of light points of controllable brightness. The collimation waveguide collimates light of the light points to obtain a fan of collimated light beams. Each collimated light beam of the fan has an angle corresponding to a coordinate of the corresponding light point of the line. A tiltable reflector may be placed at the exit pupil to scan the fan of light beams in a plane non-parallel to the plane of the fan, thus providing a 2D image in angular domain. An array of Mach-Zehnder interferometers may be used in place of the illumination waveguide layer and the spatial modulator to provide the line of light points.

Lamp projecting starry sky and nebula generation method thereof
11604404 · 2023-03-14 · ·

A lamp projecting a starry sky is provided. The lamp projecting the starry sky includes at least one beam generator, a reflecting member with uneven and irregular reflecting surface, a first motor, and at least one first lens. The first motor is connected to the reflecting member through a connecting shaft, the reflecting member is driven to rotate when the first motor rotates, a light beam generated by the beam generator irradiates onto a first side of the reflecting member along an incident light path, and a light beam emitted from the reflecting member forms a moving and layering nebula projection after passing through the at least one first lens. In the lamp, after passing from the reflecting member, the light beam is magnified by the lens, so that the generated starry sky will not be too bright and dazzling, which effectively enhances the layering sense of the starry sky.
