This disclosure relates generally to mixed reality, and more particularly to augmented reality systems and methods for the visually impaired. In one embodiment, an augmented-reality electronic glass apparatus is disclosed, comprising: a smart frame, comprising: a printed circuit board, a light emitting diode, a battery, and a communication module with integrated antenna; and a digital lens, comprising: a liquid crystal device display, a lens assembly, a magnetic stackable optic, an eye tracking system, a camera module, a lidar module, wherein the digital lens is magnetically attached to the smart frame.

A mirror device includes: a mirror including a rotation shaft pivotably supported, a coupling shaft separated from the rotation shaft, and a reflecting surface that reflects display light; a coupling member including a first coupling portion coupled to the rotation shaft and a second coupling portion coupled to the coupling shaft, and configured to pivot integrally with the mirror; a motor that is connected to the coupling member via a gear and that pivots the coupling member; and a first spring having one end side immovably fixed and another end side coupled to the coupling member, and configured to apply force to the coupling member in one rotation direction.

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to modular expansion systems for use in head-worn computing systems. In an head-worn computer, an electrical connector is adapted to electrically connect with a modular expansion module, wherein the modular expansion module adds a capability to the head-worn computer and is removeably mounted to the head-worn computer, and a mount is adapted to physically secure the modular expansion module to the head-worn computer.

An augmented reality (AR) device includes a main body, a support element, and a lens module. The main body includes a base, a projector, and a first pivot portion. The projector is pivoted to the base by using the first pivot portion, so that the projector is capable of rotating relative to the base by using the first pivot portion as a first rotation axis. The support element is pivoted to a first end portion of the base and is configured to wear on a head of a user. The lens module is pivoted to a second end portion of the base and the second end portion is opposite to the first end portion. The lens module is capable of rotating relative to the base and being overlapped under the base. Through a rotatable and foldable accommodation structure, the augmented reality device is easier to be carried and accommodated.

An image display device, having an optical observation system configured to guide light to eyes of an observer using the image display device, includes a housing, a mounting unit, and a light-shielding member. The housing is provided with the optical observation system. The mounting unit mounts the housing to a head of the observer. The light-shielding member is provided on the housing and blocks external light to be incident between the optical observation system and a face of the observer using the image display device. The light-shielding member is pivotable in a direction away from the face of the observer about a pivot axis extending in an up-down direction and in a direction approaching the face of the observer about the pivot axis.

The present disclosure relates to a head-mounted display device, comprising a device body, a front cover and a remote controller, wherein one end of the device body is a display end, the front cover is disposed on the device body and is opposite to the display end, and he front cover and the display end enable a display to be inserted therebetween when in use; and wherein the front cover is provided with a through hole opposite to the display end, in which the remote controller can be received and fixed. One technical effect of the present disclosure is that the remote controller herein is easy to store and can be carried integrally with the device body.

A wearable head-up display which allows for convenient and safe stowage when not in use. A hinge component is positioned within the optical path from an image projector to a display component which ensures optical alignment for projection. A detection means is provided to signal when the wearable device is in a folded position in order to deactivate the projector.

A modular sensor and display module comprises an enclosure with a rigid frame and front and back visor lens encapsulating sensors, waveguide optics, and display/projection devices that provide various functions for a typical head-mounted device. A front visor may conceal sensors and other components and may further provide dimming for holographic displays. The modular sensor and display module may include a standard interface for attachment to various fit systems, including, for example, headband, VR headset, glasses temples, helmet, and the like. A further module, such as a rear-attachment module, may be provided that can provide auxiliary compute, storage, and power resources for the modular sensor and display module.

A wearable device assembly includes a wireless earphone and smart glasses. The wireless earphone includes an earphone body and a speaker part. The earphone body is rotatably connected to the speaker part. The earphone body is rotatably switched between a first position and a second position relative to the speaker part, and provided with a first electrical connection part. The smart glasses include glasses legs and a battery module. One of the glasses legs is provided with a second electrical connection part, the second electrical connection part is electrically connected to the battery module. When the earphone body is located at the first position, the earphone body is separated from a glasses leg. When the earphone body is located at the second position, the earphone body is connected to the glasses leg, and the first electrical connection part is electrically connected to the second electrical connection part.

An optical see-through (OST) near-eye display (NED) system is presented, integrating ophthalmic correction for an eye of a user, comprising a partially transmissive partially reflective lens, including an inner surface characterized by an inner surface radius of curvature exhibiting a first optical power, and an outer surface characterized by an outer surface radius of curvature exhibiting a second optical power, said partially transmissive partially reflective lens is configured to be facing said eye, and to at least partially transmit incoming light of an outward scene to said eye; and an electro-optical unit, configured to be optically coupled with said partially transmissive partially reflective lens, and including a light display configured to project a light beam image onto said inner surface, so to enable reflection of said light beam image toward said eye, said electro-optical unit is configured to be located at a glabellar region of said user.
