A head-mounted imaging apparatus has a projector that is energizable to project image-bearing light and a light-conditioning element that directs and shapes the image-bearing light from the projector to form a real image plane. A lenslet array is positioned adjacent to the real image plane and optically disposed at substantially one focal length away from a curved mirror, wherein the surface of the curved mirror is substantially spherical. There is a beamsplitter in the path of light from the real image at the lenslet array and disposed to direct at least a portion of the light from the real image toward the curved mirror. The curved mirror directs light from the beamsplitter to form a virtual image for an observer who wears the head-mounted imaging apparatus.

The present invention provides a head mounted device. Said head mounted device includes a visual reality helmet (1), a control section (2), a transmission line (4) and a head band portion. Said visual reality helmet (1) includes a mask proximate to user's face and a display screen in front of the mask. The control section (2) is connected with the visual reality helmet (1) as a whole via the transmission line (4), in order to control the operation of the head mounted device. The head band portion is intended to mount this visual reality helmet (1) onto the head of a user. By providing a control section (2) to be connected with the visual reality helmet (1), the head mounted device disclosed herein does not need to connect with other peripheral devices and thus enhance the portability and the compatibility thereof. In preferred embodiments, by providing a microphone (10) and a camera module so as to enhance the man-machine interaction capability of the head mounted device; by providing an earphone seat (3) on the transmission line (4), and by providing a rotatable head band (6) and an adjusting head band which are detachable and adjustable, the comfort of wearing this head mounted device is improved.

A head-mounted display includes an image display device displaying an image, a mounting member that is fixed to a head of a user, a first ball joint capable of moving and holding the image display device relative to the mounting member and a second ball joint. The first ball joint can move the image display device relative to the mounting member with a first degree of freedom or a third degree of freedom smaller than the first degree of freedom. A socket can selectively change a degree of freedom of the first ball joint between the first degree of freedom and the third degree of freedom.

Disclosed are a head mounted display (HMD), and a method for controlling the same. The HMD includes: a body having a display unit; a lens driving unit provided at the body, and configured to move a lens unit spaced apart from the display unit, wherein the lens driving unit includes: a lens frame having a first tube portion protruded in a first direction, and coupled to the body; a lens housing having a second tube portion protruded in the first direction and having the lens unit, the second tube portion relatively moved on the first tube portion; a link unit coupled to the lens frame and the lens housing, and configured to move the lens housing; and a driving unit provided at one side of the first tube portion, and configured to operate the link unit.

A modular electronic communication system is disclosed with interchangeable components attachable on eyewear. A plurality of pre-existing eyewear models can each be retrofitted by attachment of one or more of such interchangeable components to that eyewear. Such components can be configured for custom attachment with a particular eyewear or such components can be configured for universal attachment with one or more different eyewear models. The communication system can be configured to produce an adjustable heads-up display for the wearer of the eyewear. The electronic communication system can comprise a plurality of interchangeable, electronically interconnected components, such as a first optical module, a first base module, a base link, a second base module, and/or a second optical module. In some embodiments, one or more or all of the components of the electronic communication system are integrally and permanently attached to an eyewear and are not interchangeable or modular.

A head-mountable device can effectively manage heat with a motor assembly that efficiently and accurately senses a temperature of a motor. A temperature sensor can be provided on an outer surface (e.g., case) of the motor. A flex circuit can be operably connect both the motor and the temperature sensor to a controller of the head-mountable device. The flex circuit can have a first side coupled to the outer surface of the case, a second side supporting the temperature sensor, and thermally conductive vias extending from the first side to the second side to conduct heat from the case to the sensor. The flex circuit can further include a memory comprising calibration data of the temperature sensor and a connector for outputting temperature data based on the temperature sensor and the calibration data of the memory.

A headset includes a housing, an optical assembly disposed in the housing, and an adjustment assembly coupling the optical assembly to the housing. The optical assembly includes a first lens and a second lens spaced from the first lens by a first distance. The adjustment assembly includes an interpupillary distance adjustment mechanism and an eye relief distance adjustment mechanism. The interpupillary distance adjustment mechanism is configured to adjust the first distance between the first lens and the second lens along a first axis. The eye relief distance adjustment mechanism configured to adjust the optical assembly a second distance along a second axis orthogonal to the first axis.

A smartphone stereoscope including a receptacle for holding a smartphone in a wide-image format position. The receptacle includes magnifying lenses and a partition running parallel to the long sides of the smartphone and aligned with a dividing line between two stereoscopic images arranged side-by-side on the smartphone screen. The partition swivels or pivots on a base between use and folded positions. A lens holder including lens holders for accommodating magnifying lenses is provided on the base along with a support bar. The bar contacts a longitudinal edge of the smartphone and is provided at an upper end of the partition and, in the use position runs transversely to the partition. A clamping means holds a smartphone when the longitudinal edge is put against the support bar. In the folded position the partition, base, support bar and lens holder lie parallel to each other in a plane, or in adjacent planes.

A wearable display device according to an embodiment may comprise: a first prism, positioned in front of a user's eye, for controlling the path of an incident light and enabling the arrival of a virtual image to be displayed on the eye; a second prism, coupled to the first prism, for reducing distortion of a real image arriving at the user's eye; and a coating layer which is interposed between the first prism and the second prism and of which the brightness is controlled in inverse proportion to the ambient brightness, such that the visibility of the virtual image increases.

A portable virtual reality device, which is provided with a board having a length to correspond the focal distances of the left and right lens; a supporting board that it deployed and foldable based on the board; left and right lens plates that are deployed and folded left and rightward on a rear surface of the board based on the board. The smart phone is mounted simply to correspond to the focal distances of the left and right lens when it is used, and when it is carried, the left and right lens plates and the supporting board are fold to form a thin film to be carried conveniently.
