Eye center of rotation determination, depth plane selection, and render camera positioning in display systems
A display system can include a head-mounted display configured to project light to an eye of a user to display virtual image content at different amounts of divergence and collimation. The display system can include an inward-facing imaging system images the user's eye and processing electronics that are in communication with the inward-facing imaging system and that are configured to obtain an estimate of a center of rotation of the user's eye. The display system may render virtual image content with a render camera positioned at the determined position of the center of rotation of said eye.
A MULTIFUNCTIONAL OPHTALMIC APPARATUS
The present invention relates to the field of diagnostic equipment in the ophthalmic field, and more precisely has as its object a multifunctional apparatus capable of performing measurements, examinations and even operations of various kinds on the eye of a patient.
DISPLAY SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETERMINING REGISTRATION BETWEEN A DISPLAY AND A USER'S EYES
A wearable device may include a head-mounted display (HMD) for rendering a three-dimensional (3D) virtual object which appears to be located in an ambient environment of a user of the display. The relative positions of the HMD and one or more eyes of the user may not be in desired positions to receive, or register, image information outputted by the HMD. For example, the HMD-to-eye alignment may vary for different users and may change over time (e.g., as a user moves around and/or the HMD slips or is otherwise displaced). The wearable device may determine a relative position or alignment between the HMD and the user's eyes. Based on the relative positions, the wearable device may determine if it is properly fitted to the user, may provide feedback on the quality of the fit to the user, and may take actions to reduce or minimize effects of any misalignment.
Apparatus, system and method of determining a pupillary distance
Some demonstrative embodiments include apparatuses, systems and/or methods of determining a pupillary distance. For example, a product may include one or more tangible computer-readable non-transitory storage media including computer-executable instructions operable to, when executed by at least one computer processor, enable the at least one computer processor to implement operations of measuring a pupillary distance between pupils of a user. The operations may include receiving a captured image comprising first and second reflections of a light of a light source, the first reflection comprising a reflection of the light from a first pupil of the user, and the second reflection comprising a reflection of the light from a second pupil of the user; and determining the pupillary distance based on locations of the first and second reflections in the captured image and an estimated distance between an image capturing device and pupils of the user, when the image is captured.
Method of performing an eye examination test
A method of performing an eye examination test for examining eyes of a user, said method using a computing device as well as an input tool, wherein said computing device comprises a screen and comprises a camera unit arranged for capturing images, said method comprising the steps of capturing, by said camera unit of said computing device, at least one image of a human face of said user facing said screen, detecting, by said computing device, in said at least one captured image, both pupils of said human face, determining, by said computing device, a distance of said user to said screen based on a predetermined distance between pupils of a user, a distance between said detected pupils in said at least one captured image, and a focal length of said camera unit corresponding to said at least one captured image, and performing, by said computing device in combination with said input tool, said eye examination test using said determined distance.
Method for determining at least one geometrico-morphological parameters of a subject in a natural posture for determining a vision correction equipment
Disclosed is a method wherein the following steps are performed: a) the subject is placed in a natural posture, in which at least one of the gaze directions of the subject points to a visual target, b) an image capture apparatus is placed between the head of the subject and the visual target, c) the relative posture of the image capture apparatus and head of the subject is adjusted in order for the pupil of the image capture apparatus to be positioned close to the gaze direction of at least one of the eyes of the subject, d) an image of the head of the subject is captured, and e) the at least one geometrico-morphological parameter is deduced from this image.
Optical trial frame
Embodiments relate to an optical trial frame that includes: left and right frames extending in the left and right directions respectively; a bridge located between and connected to the left and right frames such that the left and right frames can move relative to each other along a longitudinal axis of the bridge; left and right temples connected to the respective left and right frames; left and right lens holders rotatably coupled to the left and right frames respectively and configured to receive and retain lenses in use; and, capacitive sensing means configured to detect and measure at least one of: a lateral position of one of the frames; and, a rotational position of one of the lens holders.
SHAPE DISCRIMINATION VISION ASSESSMENT AND TRACKING SYSTEM
In an embodiment of the disclosure, there is provided a handheld vision tester for vision self-testing by a user. The handheld vision tester comprises a touchscreen display, a control, and an interface port. The touchscreen display is configured to present different shapes, either statically or dynamically, to the user for the vision self-testing. One of the different shapes may be a modulated version of another similar shape displayed at the same time and includes a modulated edge. The control is configured to allow a user to trigger operations of the tester and allow the user to select one of the different shapes. The handheld vision tester is configured to determine results of the vision self-testing from the user selections and store the results in the handheld vision tester. The interface port is configured to transmit the stored results to a healthcare provider who uses the results to enhance treatment routines.
Method and system to create custom, user-specific eyewear
Systems and methods for creating fully custom products from scratch without exclusive use of off-the-shelf or pre-specified components. A system for creating custom products includes a computer communicatively coupled with an image capture device and configured to construct an anatomic model of the user based on captured image data and/or measurement data. The computer provides a configurable product model and enables preview and automatic or user-guided customization of the product model. A display is communicatively coupled with the computer and displays the custom product model superimposed on the anatomic model or image data of the user. The computer is further configured to provide the customized product model to a manufacturer for manufacturing eyewear for the user in accordance with the customized product model.
