An image generation device comprises: a spatial light modulator; a source of light; a beam deflector; an illumination waveguide and an image transport waveguide, each waveguide containing at least one switchable grating; and a coupler for directing scanned light into a first set of TIR paths in said illumination waveguide. A switchable grating in the illumination waveguide diffracts light onto said SLM, a switchable grating in said image transport waveguide diffracting image-modulated from the SLM into a waveguide path.

Various embodiments of the invention disclosed herein provide techniques for extending on-screen gameplay via an augmented reality (AR) system. An extended AR application executing on an AR headset system receives, via a game controller, first data associated with a first object associated with a computer-generated game. The extended AR application renders an augmented reality object based on the first data associated with the first object. The extended AR application displays at least a first portion of the augmented reality object via an augmented reality headset system. Further, an image associated with the computer-generated game is simultaneously rendered on a display monitor.

A wearable or mountable visor or display apparatus capable of presenting augmented reality (AR) content. The primary intent of the AR visor is to parse and selectively display desired heads up display (HUD) content from a video stream or video game such as a map, timer or clock, speedometer/tachometer, instrumentation panels, or similar context-sensitive information relevant to a video game or stream. The AR visor allows a user to configure and display various content on one or more designated sections of the AR visor/display.

A method or system can be used with an aircraft or other vehicle. The system can include or the method can use a head up display for integrating views of conformally mapped symbols and a first image from at least one image source in an environment. The head up display includes a computer and a combiner configured to provide a second image in response to the computer. The second image includes the conformally mapped symbols and a window for viewing the first image on the image source.

A display system of an aircraft includes a display device defining a display area, a vision system for generating an image of an operating environment of the aircraft on the display area, data processors operatively coupled to the display device and the vision system, and non-transitory machine-readable memory operatively coupled to the one or more data processors and storing instructions executable by the one or more processors and configured to cause the one or more processors to, when a condition of the aircraft is met, cause an alteration of a display of flight information on the display area to declutter a cutout region in the image generated by the vision system, the cutout region devoid of imaging generated by the vision system and displaying an Approach Lighting System (ALS) of a runway of intended landing for the aircraft.

Implementations use a first device (e.g., an HMD) to provide a CGR environment that augments the input and output capabilities of a second device, e.g., a laptop, smart speaker, etc. In some implementations, the first device communicates with a second device in its proximate physical environment to exchange input or output data. For example, an HMD may capture an image of a physical environment that includes a laptop. The HMD may detect the laptop, send a request the laptop's content, receive content from the laptop (e.g., the content that the laptop is currently displaying and additional content), identify the location of the laptop, and display a virtual object with the received content in the CGR environment on or near the laptop. The size, shape, orientation, or position of the virtual object (e.g., a virtual monitor or monitor extension) may also be configured to provide a better user experience.

A display device and a vehicle are provided. The display device includes a first display panel, a second display panel and a light-emitting module. The first display panel includes a first side and a first light-receiving surface. The second display panel includes a second side and a second light-receiving surface. The first side is connected to the second side such that the first display panel and the second display panel form an including angle, and the first light-receiving surface and the second light-receiving surface form a light-emitting space. The light-emitting module is disposed corresponding to the light-emitting space. The light-emitting module emits an illuminating light into the light-emitting space such that a part of the illuminating light forms a first image through the first display panel, and another part of the illuminating light passes through the second display panel and is projected onto a display surface where it forms a second image.

A display unit is equipped with an LED circuit body for irradiating light onto the windshield of a vehicle and a surface panel positioned on the front side in the light irradiating direction of the LED circuit body and constituting part of the surface of the instrument panel of the vehicle. The surface panel is provided with a plurality of pores formed in the direction connecting the LED circuit body to the windshield. The light irradiating direction of the LED circuit body is set to the direction in which the light irradiated from the LED circuit body and reflected by the windshield is visually recognized by the driver.

The invention relates to a method and system for display and interaction with an aircraft control system, intended for an aircraft pilot, embedded in a cockpit of the aircraft. The method is implemented by a system for display and interaction including a first so-called head-down man-machine interface and a second so-called head-up man-machine interface. The method includes determining a line of sight of the pilot, receiving a command to enter the frozen display mode and keeping at least part of the display on the second man-machine interface in a frozen position, independently of the pilot's line of sight, then displaying at least one complementary man-machine interface element, as a function of the pilot's line of sight, in at least one free area of the cockpit, and displaying a cursor representative of the pilot's line of sight.
