A method, system, apparatus, and/or device for displaying a portion of data so as to not obstruct a portion of a central visual field. The method, system, apparatus, and/or device may include a display configured to display data and a processing device coupled to the display. The processing device may be configured to determine a position of an eye of a viewer with respect to the display, define a first region of the display substantially corresponding with a peripheral vision field of the eye, define a second region of the display substantially corresponding with a central visual field of the eye, send a first portion of the data to be displayed at the first region, and send a second portion of the data to be displayed at the second output region such that a portion of the central visual field is unobstructed by the second portion of the data.

Systems, devices, and methods for increasing resolution in wearable heads-up displays (WHUD) are described. A WHUD includes a support structure, a scanning laser projector (SLP), a fold mirror, a split mirror, an optical splitter, and an optical combiner. When the WHUD is worn on the head of a user, the optical combiner is positioned in a field of view of the user. The SLP scans light signals onto the fold mirror which reflects light onto one of at least two reflective surfaces of the split mirror, based on a state of the fold mirror. The split mirror redirects the light signals onto the optical splitter, which, in turn, redirects the light signals towards the optical combiner. The optical combiner redirects the light signals to the eye at exit pupils containing the full usable resolution of the SLP.

The purpose of the present invention is to prevent stray light from reducing display quality. Provided is a laser light output control device that provides feedback on the intensity of the laser light emitted by a light source to thereby adjust the control value used by the light source to display an image M, wherein: an illuminance determination unit acquires an illuminance signal that allows estimation of the illuminance in the ambient environment or acquires a request luminance signal that externally controls the luminance of the image M, and determines the brightness of the ambient environment; an inspection time adjustment unit shortens a period Q during which the lights source emits inspection light Cd when the illuminance determination unit determines that there is a dark ambient environment, compared to when there is a bright ambient environment; and a light source control unit acquires an integrated value Sd of the intensity of the inspection light Cd emitted by the light source and adjusts a control value for driving the light source.

A head-mounted device (HMD) is configured to perform depth detection with a stereo camera pair comprising a first camera and a second camera, both of which are configured to detect/capture visible light and IR light. The fields of view for both of the cameras overlap to form an overlapping field of view. The HMD also includes an IR dot-pattern illuminator that is mounted on the HMD with the cameras and that is configured to emit an IR dot-pattern illumination. The IR dot-pattern illuminator emits a dot-pattern illumination that spans at least a part of the overlapping field of view. The IR dot-pattern illumination adds texture to objects in the environment and enables the HMD to determine depth for those objects, even if they have textureless/smooth surfaces.

Examples are disclosed herein related to controlling a scanning display system. One example provides a display device comprising a light source, a scanning mirror system configured to scan light from the light source, and a controller configured to control the scanning mirror system to scan the light by synthesizing in a time domain a mirror control waveform that comprises a linear scan portion and a retrace portion stitched to the linear scan portion, the mirror control waveform being continuous and having an arbitrary timing that is adjustable by the controller between scan cycles.

The system includes: an image source; an image processing device; a projector unit including a light source generating a light beam and a controllable deflection device for the light beam for scanning projection of the image content; a first redirection unit comprising a first mirror and a statically mounted optical unit, the controllable deflection device projecting the image content onto the first mirror, and the first mirror directs the projected image content onto the statically mounted optical unit; a second redirection unit, the optical unit projecting image content onto the second redirection unit, the second redirection unit directing the projected image content onto an eye of a user.

A system for assisting sharing of information includes circuitry to: input a plurality of sentences each representing a statement made by one of a plurality of users, the sentence being generated by speaking or writing during a meeting or by extracting from at least one of meeting data, email data, electronic file data, and chat data at any time; determine a statement type of the statement represented by each one of the plurality of sentences, the statement type being one of a plurality of statement types previously determined; select, from among the plurality of sentences being input, one or more sentences each representing a statement of a specific statement type of the plurality of types; and output a list of the selected one or more sentences as key statements of the plurality of sentences.

A projection device and a projection method, a projection module, an electronic device, and a program that correct a misalignment of an optical axis are disclosed. Test emission is performed of a laser beam that is a light source in a projector, and a position of the optical axis of the laser beam is obtained from a ratio of an amount of light detected by a photodetector divided into a plurality of areas that is a two-dimensional plane perpendicular to the optical axis. The misalignment of the optical axis is obtained on the basis of information regarding a position of the optical axis of each of R, G, and B, a correction coefficient is calculated for correcting a shift of a pixel position on a projection image projected on a screen, and a pixel position to be projected is corrected with the correction coefficient and projected with RGB misalignment correction.
