An inflatable headset system for virtual and augmented reality applications includes multiple inflatable segments that can be inflated or deflated with one or more valves. One inflatable segment either houses a dedicated display device or defines a receptacle for a mobile device. Another inflatable segment includes one or more lenses that are positioned to cooperate with the display of the display device or mobile device when the inflatable segments are at least partially inflated. Preferably, at least one of the inflatable segments has a shape that, when at least partially inflated, acts as a headset frame. The system may further include optional fasteners or straps, optional computer components, optional sensors, and optional input/output devices.

The head mounted display includes: a headgear having an attachment that comes into close contact with the face of the user in a manner such that the user can see at least the front and a fixture that is attached to the attachment and is used for fixing the attachment to the head of the user while maintaining the close contact with the face of the user; a display unit that has a video display unit configured to display video and is detachable from the attachment; and a lock mechanism that is provided in at least one of the attachment or the display unit, and fixes the display unit to the attachment in a manner such that the fixing can be released. The attachment and the display unit are configured to engage with each other in the front-rear direction of the user.

A vehicle, a head-up displaying system and a method for adjusting a height of a projection image thereof are provided. The system includes a projector, a camera, a seat detecting module and a head-up controller. The camera is configured to detect an image having locations of the eyes of the driver and a predetermined reference point. The seat detecting module is configured to detect a position of a seat of the driver in the vehicle so as to obtain an actual horizontal distance between the eyes of the driver and the predetermined reference point. The head-up controller is configured to adjust a height of the projection image projected by the projector automatically according to the actual vertical distance. The system automatically controls the height of the projection image, and the projection image may be comfortable for the driver to view without any manual intervenes.

A rotary structure module applied to a head-up display device includes a curved mirror assembly, at least one bracket and a driving element. The curved mirror assembly has a rotation axis, and includes a curved mirror, a fixing frame, a rotating shaft and a counterweight. The rotation axis corresponds to the rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft is passed through the fixing frame. The curved mirror and the counterweight are respectively fixed on two opposite sides of the fixing frame and located on two sides of the rotating shaft, so that the center of gravity of the curved mirror assembly is overlapped with the rotating axis. The bracket is sleeved on the rotating shaft, and the driving element drives the curved mirror assembly, so that the curved mirror rotates around the rotating shaft as the rotation axis.

Spectacles, comprising a face defining a passage for a nose of a user, may be provided with a lens-type optical unit. Internal edges may define the face, the edges being respectively turned toward lateral edges of the face. The spectacles may comprise a module for emitting visual information and a geometric element for returning the converted visual information, including towards a target zone of the optical unit. The emitting module may be placed at the bottom or top portion of an internal edge of the face, whereas a geometric return element may be placed in the top or bottom portion. The return element may be placed at the top portion of one internal edge when the emitting module is placed at the bottom portion of the one internal edge. And the return element may be placed at the bottom portion when the emitting module is placed at the top portion.

A contact lens includes a transparent material, a substrate material, a light source, an optical system, and a phase map. The transparent material has an eye-side opposite an external side. The eye-side is curved to fit the human eye. The light source is configured to emit illumination light. The optical system is configured to receive the illumination light from the light source and output the illumination light as an in-phase wavefront. The phase map is configured to adjust a phase of the in-phase wavefront to form an image at a retina-distance in response to being illuminated by the in-phase wavefront. The phase map is pre-recorded with a phase pattern that is included in the image.

Head-mounted display systems and methods of operation that allow users to couple and decouple a portable electronic device such as a handheld portable electronic device with a separate head-mounted device (e.g., temporarily integrates the separate devices into a single unit) are disclosed. The portable electronic may be physically coupled to the head-mounted device such that the portable electronic device can be worn on the user's head. The portable electronic device may be operatively coupled to the head-mounted device such that the portable electronic device and head mounted device can communicate and operate with one another. Each device may be allowed to extend its features and/or services to the other device for the purpose of enhancing, increasing and/or eliminating redundant functions between the head-mounted device and the portable electronic device.

An immersive headset device is provided that includes a display portion and a body portion. The display portion may include microdisplays having a compact size. The microdisplays may be movable (e.g., rotational) relative to the body portion and can be moved (e.g., rotated) between a flipped-up position and a flipped-down position. In some instances, when the microdisplays are flipped up, the headset provides an augmented reality (AR) mode to a user, and when the microdisplays are flipped down, the headset provide a virtual reality (VR) mode to the user. In certain implementations, the headset includes an electronics source module to provide power and/or signal to the microdisplays. The electronics source module can be attached to a rear of the body portion in order to provide advantageous weight distribution about the head of the user.

An apparatus includes a device including a screen; a ledge against which the device lays; a connecting arm; and a partially transparent mirror coupled to the ledge via the connecting arm, where the mirror includes a center and two outer lateral edges and is structured and arranged relative to the ledge such that the screen faces the mirror and a center of the mirror is further from the screen than each of the two outer lateral edges, a part of the mirror that is adjacent the first of the two outer lateral edges thereby reflecting a part of the screen that is opposite the second of the two outer lateral edges, and a part of the mirror that is opposite the second of the two outer lateral edges thereby reflecting a part of the screen that is opposite the first of the two outer lateral edges.

The present disclosure includes a display element configured to emit imaging light, a main circuit board and the like being a circuit board configured to process a video signal, a board holder being a circuit board holder configured to fix the main circuit board and the like, and a harness coupled to the main circuit board, and the board holder fixes an end portion of the main circuit board in a state where the end portion protrudes to an optical path upstream of the display element. As a result, a space for avoiding interference is provided on the optical path upstream of the display element, namely, on a back surface side of the display element, while suppressing an increase in size of the device toward a lateral side and the like.
