GOGGLES
Goggles include: a holding member that holds lenses, a pad partially fixed to the holding member; an attaching member disposed on a side of the holding member opposite to the pad, the attaching member to which an electronic device that provides an image to the lenses can be attached; and a fixing member that fixes positions of the pad and the attaching member with respect to the holding member in a state where the pad and the attaching member are separated from the holding member and releases position fixation of the pad and the attaching member in response to a predetermined releasing operation.
MEMS MIRROR IN SERIES WITH RESONANT MEMS MIRROR TO REDISTRIBUTE DENSE PIXELS
A near-eye display system employs a low-amplitude, low-frequency micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) mirror in series with a higher-amplitude, higher-frequency resonant MEMS mirror to rotate at a reduced amplitude and frequency with respect to the resonant MEMS mirror redistribute illumination pulses or pixels at the extents of a sinusoidal angular scan pattern of the resonant MEMS mirror.
Directional augmented reality system
A head-mounted device (HMD) of a first user has a transparent display. The HMD determines location information of a second user relative to the HMD of the first user. The second user is located within a predefined distance of the HMD. The location information identifies a distance and a direction of the second user relative to the HMD. The HMD receives audio content from the second user, generates augmented reality (AR) content based on the audio content, and displays the AR content in the transparent display based on the location information of the second user. The AR content appears coupled to the second user.
Mount device to which an external electronic device can be coupled so as to slope
Disclosed are various embodiments regarding a head-mounted device. According to an embodiment, a mount device comprises: a housing comprising a front surface, a rear surface that can be mounted on a head, and a side surface surrounding the front surface and the rear surface; a coupling portion can be disposed in housing, and can be configured to be coupled so as to slope an external electronic device at a designated angle with regard to the side surface; a prism comprising a first surface capable of facing, at the designated angle, at least a part of a display included in the external electronic device that can be coupled to the coupling portion, a second surface capable of changing (through total reflection) the direction of light that is incident from the display through the first surface, and a third surface capable of emitting the light, the direction of which has changed; a mirror arranged between at least a part of the side surface and the third surface; and a splitter arranged between the mirror and the third surface to be capable of transmitting at least a part of light emitted through the third surface and changing the direction of the light, which is transmitted and then reflected by the mirror, to a direction corresponding to the rear surface. Various other embodiments are possible.
Alignment of User's Field of View With Head-Mounted Camera and/or Light
A method for aligning the field of view of a user with the field of view of a camera mounted on the user's head may include providing at least one head-mounted camera module that includes at least one sensor that in turn includes an image sensor, where the said image sensor outputs video of an area; receiving a first input from a user to expect a second input relating to the field of view; receiving the second input relating to the field of view; and aligning the field of view of the user with the field of view of the camera.
WEARABLE DEVICE AND METHOD OF PROJECTION
A wearable device is configured to be worn on a head of a user. The wearable device includes a sensing module and an image forming module. The sensing module is configured to sense an intersection of sight lines of two eyes of the user. The image forming module is coupled with the sensing module. The image forming module is configured to project a pattern onto one of the two eyes of the user, such that the pattern is visually located at a first position at which the intersection of sight lines locates.
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DISTRIBUTING LANDMARK POSITIONS IN A POSITIONAL TRACKING SYSTEM
A fixed map augmented reality system includes at least one beacon, a detector on a headset and a displayer. The beacon is mounted on or integrated with a physical element and emits light modulated with fixed map data related to a location of the light-emitting element of the physical element. When viewing the beacon, the detector decodes the modulated light into the fixed map data and determines a physical relationship of the beacon with respect to the detector. The displayer uses the physical relationship to generate a display overlay on the headset of the fixed map data related to the physical element. The display overlay includes a human-readable message of data related to the physical element and a display connection connecting the human-readable message to a location in a frame-of-reference associated with the physical element.
WEARABLE DEVICE, BATTERY USED IN THE SAME, AND POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM
An HMD includes first and second batteries mounted therein, and includes a plurality of power receivers that receive power from the first and second batteries by wireless transmission, a power supply manager that monitors states of the first and second batteries, a communication interface that performs wireless communication with the first and second batteries, and a plurality of limiters that limit the power received by the plurality of power receivers. A controller causes the limiters to limit power, which is supplied to a load, according to a power use state of the load in the device, and the power supply manager acquires information of remaining power storage amounts of the first and second batteries through the communication interface and displays the acquired information on a display. Therefore, since it is possible to supply power required for driving the device while wearing the HMD, the HMD can be continuously used.
DIGITAL DISPLAY WELDING MASK WITH HDR IMAGING
A display system for a welding helmet that includes a darkening filter layer, a high-dynamic range (HDR) camera system to capture an HDR light field, and an optical image stabilization subsystem. Captured images are displayed on an HDR electronic display within the welding helmet without risk of overexposure of ultraviolet radiation to the operator. In some examples, dual electronic displays are used to display different HDR images to each eye of the operator.
EYEWEAR EYE-TRACKING USING OPTICAL WAVEGUIDE
Eyewear having an optical waveguide communicating infrared light from a remote infrared emitter in the eyewear to an optical output coupler that uniformly illuminates an eye for tracking eye movement of a user. An optical input coupler couples a light beam emitted by the remote infrared emitter into the waveguide. The remote infrared emitter simplifies industrial design and is a single light source. The remote infrared emitter is not in a peripheral vision of a user's eye and improves a cosmetic impact.
