DISPLAY APPARATUS
A display apparatus includes: a first lens barrel in a shape of a bottomed barrel and including, as a bottom portion, a first display device that displays a first image; a second lens barrel in a shape of a bottomed barrel and including, as a bottom portion, a second display device that displays a second image; a support member that supports the first and second lens barrels; and an eye cup that is in a barrel shape and is provided at an open end of each of the first and second lens barrels along the open end. The eye cup includes two or more ventilation paths through which inside and outside of the eye cup communicate with each other in an intersecting direction that intersects a barrel axis direction of the first and second lens barrels and an arrangement direction in which the first and second lens barrels are arranged.
Adjustable frame assembly and augmented reality eyewear with adjustable frame assembly
An adjustable frame assembly for augmented reality eyewear. The frame assembly includes a face portion for supporting at least one waveguide that creates an eye box, a support rest for supporting the face portion on a user, and a coupling for adjusting the position of the face portion relative to the support rest. This enables movement of the waveguide eye box relative to the support rest to position the eye box in front of the wearer’s eyes.
DISPLAY SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETERMINING REGISTRATION BETWEEN A DISPLAY AND EYES OF A USER
A wearable device may include a head-mounted display (HMD) for rendering a three-dimensional (3D) virtual object which appears to be located in an ambient environment of a user of the display. The relative positions of the HMD and one or more eyes of the user may not be in desired positions to receive, or register, image information outputted by the HMD. For example, the HMD-to-eye alignment vary for different users and may change over time (e.g., as a given user moves around or as the HMD slips or otherwise becomes displaced). The wearable device may determine a relative position or alignment between the HMD and the user's eyes by determining whether features of the eye are at certain vertical positions relative to the HMD. Based on the relative positions, the wearable device may determine if it is properly fitted to the user, and provides feedback on the quality of the fit to the user, and may take actions to reduce or minimize effects of any misalignment.
IMAGE SHIFT CORRECTION FOR BINOCULAR VIRTUAL IMAGING APPARATUS
An imaging apparatus for stereoscopic viewing has a frame that seats against the head of a viewer. A left-eye imaging apparatus and a right-eye imaging apparatus are supported by the frame. The frame is reshapeable in a manner that changes a relative alignment of the left-eye imaging apparatus and the right-eye imaging apparatus to accommodate different viewer head anatomies. An adjustment mechanism responsive to the reshaping of the frame restores relative alignment of the left-eye imaging apparatus and the right-eye imaging apparatus for conveying stereoscopic virtual images to the viewer.
FITTING MECHANISMS FOR EYEWEAR WITH VISIBLE DISPLAYS AND ACCOMODATION OF WEARER ANATOMY
An eyewear includes an adjustable nose bridge adapted to interconnect two half-frames of an eyeglasses frame. The two half-frames are adapted to hold a pair of see-through lenses. A virtual display is embedded in, or overlaid on, at least one of the pair of see-through lenses. The eyeglasses frame utilizes the adjustable nose bridge over a person's nose and temple pieces that rest over the person's ears to hold the pair of see-through lenses in position in front of the person's eyes. The virtual display has an associated eye box for full viewing of the virtual display by the person. The adjustable nose bridge includes one or more bridge-frame fastener arrangements adapted to provide independent adjustments of one or more geometrical parameters of the eyeglasses frame for aligning optics of the eyeglasses frame and the eye box to the user's face and eye geometry.
Nosepiece for head-mountable device
A head-mountable device can include a nosepiece that distributes forces away from a top of the nose to the sides of the nose. The nose contact elements of such nosepieces can be slideably and/or rotationally biased to apply forces to the sides of the nose when the head-mountable device is worn by a user. Such distribution allows forces to be spread across a greater area, which improves overall comfort, positioning, and light sealing of the head-mountable device.
Electronic device
To alleviate the load on the eyeglasses type electronic device, the present disclosure provides an electronic device comprising an optical driving assembly configured to emit image light corresponding to augmented reality information, an optical element in which the emitted image light is incident to form an output area, a front frame coupled to the optical element, a side frame coupled to the front frame to form a body of an eyeglasses shape together with the front frame, and a support member of a pad type coupled to the front frame to support at least one region of a wearer's nose, in which the support member includes a fixing area fixed to two left points and two right points of the front frame, and a flexible area deformable to closely fit the wearer's nose between the two left fixing areas and the two right fixing areas.
ATTACHMENT AND HEAD-MOUNTED DISPLAY
An attachment is an attachment for attaching a head-mounted display body including a display unit configured to display an image to a helmet to be mounted on a head, the attachment includes: a link plate configured to support the display unit in a predetermined posture, and a clip plate configured to attach the link plate to a helmet, and the link plate includes: a lower hinge shaft having a rotation axis thereof in a first direction, and an upper hinge shaft having a rotation axis thereof in the first direction, the link plate is configured to support an HMD body in a rotatable manner in a rotational direction about an axis of the lower hinge shaft in a predetermined posture, and the link plate is supported on the clip plate in a rotatable manner in the rotational direction about an axis of the upper hinge shaft in a predetermined posture.
Head mounted display nosepiece
A headset can include at least one display; virtual reality circuitry operatively coupled to the at least one display; and a display frame that includes a nosepiece coupling and a nosepiece received in part by the nosepiece coupling, where the nosepiece includes a ball, an extension, a carrier and nose pads coupled to the carrier, where the carrier is rotatable via the ball and translatable via the extension.
Wearable display device having flexible board transmitting signal
A wearable display device includes a first display device and a second display device configured to display images correspondingly to left and right eyes, a first flexible board extending from the first display device to the second display device and configured to transmit a signal, and a second flexible board disposed overlapping the first flexible board. The first flexible board includes a surface overlapping the second flexible board and an opposite surface from the surface overlapping the second flexible board, the opposite surface being shielded, and the second flexible board includes a surface overlapping the first flexible board and an opposite surface from the surface overlapping the first flexible board, the opposite surface being shielded.
