AN APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DISPLAYING AN OUTPUT FROM A DISPLAY
The present invention relates to a head-mountable visual accessory for displaying an image to a user from a portable display unit comprising: (a) a compartment for an image display unit; (b) at least one mirror for reflecting an image from said display unit; (c) adjustment means for adjusting the reflection of said image from said display unit to the eye of said user; (d) a structure for holding said at least one mirror, and said adjusting means for reflecting said image to said eye of the user of said visual accessory.
IMAGE DISPLAY DEVICE
An image display device includes a first display unit including a first frame and a first optical system, a second display unit including a second frame and a second optical system, and a fixing member configured to fix the first display unit and the second display unit relative to each other, wherein the fixing member has a shape configured to rotate the first optical system and the second optical system in rotational directions around two or more axes when the first display unit and the second display unit are aligned prior to fixing.
EYEWEAR USE DETECTION
Eyewear including a support structure defining a region for receiving a head of a user. The support structure supports optical elements, electronic components, and a use detector. The use detector is coupled to the electronic components and is positioned to identify when the head of the user is within the region defined by the support structure. The electronic components monitor the use detector and transition from a first mode of operation to a second mode of operation when the use detector senses the head of the user in the region.
INTERFACE DEVICE WITH THREE-DIMENSIONAL (3-D) VIEWING FUNCTIONALITY
An interface device is provided that is configured to allow viewing of three-dimensional (3-D) content when the interface device is worn. In certain embodiments, a wearable visualization device can be removably coupled to the interface device. The wearable visualization device, when in use, may provide additional viewing functionality, such as facilitating the viewing of augmented reality (AR) or virtual reality (VR).
Wearable heads up displays
An optical display, including a first waveguide having a first set of surfaces, an input grating, a fold grating, and an output grating; an image input image node assembly; and a prismatic relay optics is provided. The prismatic relay optics may be configured to be optomechanically connected to the waveguide and the input image node assembly. The optical display is may also be configured to operate alone or as integrated with a headpiece to be used as a HUD. The HUD may have a first and a second configuration wherein the waveguide is decoupled or coupled.
Electronic device for VA, AR, and MR
An electronic device is disclosed. The electronic device comprises a goggle frame including at least one opening on a front surface thereof; a display positioned in front of the goggle frame and facing the at least one opening; a front cover coupled to the goggle frame and accommodating the display inside; a supporter positioned on a top surface of the front cover; and a main strap fixed to the supporter and made of an elastic material.
FRAME OF REFERENCE FOR MOTION CAPTURE
Techniques are described for facilitating the coordination of audio video (AV) production using multiple actors in respective locations that are remote from each other, such that an integrated AV product can be generated by coordinating the activities of multiple remote actors in concert with one another. Motion capture (mocap) of multiple actors who are geographically distant from each other is facilitated.
Wearable Heads Up Displays
An optical display, including a first waveguide having a first set of surfaces, an input grating, a fold grating, and an output grating; an image input image node assembly; and a prismatic relay optics is provided. The prismatic relay optics may be configured to be optomechanically connected to the waveguide and the input image node assembly. The optical display is may also be configured to operate alone or as integrated with a headpiece to be used as a HUD. The HUD may have a first and a second configuration wherein the waveguide is decoupled or coupled.
WEARABLE ACCESSORY WITH PHASED ARRAY ANTENNA SYSTEM
An accessory for an electronic device includes: an AR headset; at least one phased array antenna on the AR headset, the at least one phased array antenna comprising an array of antenna elements that are configured to form a beam in a determined direction, the at least one phased array antenna being configured to communicate wirelessly with an external device; a local communication system in the AR headset, the local communication system configured to communicate locally with the electronic device; and a battery in the AR headset, the battery operatively connected to each of the at least one phased array antenna and the local communication system.
Waveguides having integral spacers and related systems and methods
A head-mounted, near-eye display system comprises a stack of waveguides having integral spacers separating the waveguides. The waveguides may each include diffractive optical elements that are formed simultaneously with the spacers by imprinting or casting. The spacers are disposed on one or more major surfaces of the waveguides and define a distance between immediately adjacent waveguides. Adjacent waveguides may be bonded using adhesives on the spacers. The spacers may fit within indentations of overlying waveguides. In some cases, the spacers may form one or more walls of material substantially around a perimeter of an associated waveguide. Vent holes may be provided in the walls to allow gas flow into and out from an interior volume defined by the spacers. Debris trapping structures may be provided between two walls of spacers to trap and prevent debris from entering into the interior volume.
