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.

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.

An HUD 100 includes a housing 7 that accommodates a light source unit 40, a light modulation element 44 that spatially modulates light emitted from the light source unit 40 on the basis of image information, and a diffusion member 5 and a concave mirror 6 that project the spatially modulated image light onto a windshield 2 through an opening portion 30 provided in a dashboard 3 of an automobile 1, and is supported to be rotatable inside the dashboard 3; an actuator 10 that drives the housing 7 to be rotatably; and a tubular flexible member 9 that connects a peripheral edge of an opening surface 30A of the opening portion 30 and a peripheral edge of a light emitting surface 8A of the image light in the housing 7.

A method, system, computer readable media and cloud systems are provided for rendering virtual reality (VR) views into VR scenes for presentation to a head mounted display (HMD). One method includes sensing a position of a nose of the user when the HMD is worn by the user. The method includes identifying a model of the nose of the user based on the position that is sensed. The model of the nose having a dimension that is based on the position of the nose of the user, when the HMD is worn. The method further includes rendering images to a screen of the HMD to present the VR scenes. The images being augmented to include nose image data from the model of the nose. In one example, the HMD is configured to capture facial feature expressions which are usable to generate avatar faces of the user, and convey facial expressions and/or emotion.

An imaging apparatus for stereoscopic viewing having a frame operable to be reshaped from a first shape to a second shape. A left-eye imaging apparatus and a right-eye imaging apparatus supported by the frame, wherein the left-eye imaging apparatus and the right-eye imaging apparatus have a first relative alignment operable to convey stereoscopic virtual images to the viewer when the frame is in the first shape, and wherein the left-eye imaging apparatus and the right-eye imaging apparatus are arranged at a second relative alignment when the frame is in the second shape. An adjustment mechanism operable to change an angular alignment of one or more components of the left-eye imaging apparatus and/or the right-eye imaging apparatus relative to the frame to restore the first relative alignment of the left-eye imaging apparatus and the right-eye imaging apparatus when the frame is in the second shape.

The present invention relates to a nose pad eye/gaze tracking module applicable to known augmented/virtual reality glasses, to visual remote guide devices in general, constituting the nose pads part of said devices, without using any kind of connector. The invention further relates to a method for fastening the nose pad eye/gaze tracking module to said kind of device.

An eye tracking module and head-wearable device is disclosed. In one example, the eye tracking module includes a module housing which is at least substantially mirror symmetric with respect to a central plane and shaped to partly surround a nose of the user. A scene camera is arranged in and/or on the module housing. The eye tracking module further includes at least one of a first eye camera arranged in and/or on the lower portion of the module housing, wherein a first distance between the first eye camera and the central plane is at most about 20 mm, and a second eye camera arranged in and/or on the lower portion of the module housing, wherein a second distance between the second eye camera and the central plane at least substantially corresponds to the first distance.

An electronic device including a frame configured to be worn on the head of a user is disclosed. The frame can include a bridge configured to be supported on the nose of the user and a brow portion coupled to and extending away from the bridge and configured to be positioned over a side of a brow of the user. The frame can further include an arm coupled to the brow portion and extending to a free end. The first arm can be positionable over a temple of the user with the free end disposed near an ear of the user. The device can also include a transparent display affixed to the frame adjacent the brow portion and an input affixed to the frame and configured for receiving from the user an input associated with a function. Information related to the function can be presentable on the display.

Embodiments of the present disclosure related to a head mounted display (HMD) that enable adjustment of lenses for a particular consumer. In some example embodiments, the HMD enables up to three-degrees of freedom of lens alignment with a consumer's pupils. For example, the HMD includes an actuation device or rotatable disc, both of which are in slidable engagement with at least one elongated members. Ends of the elongated members are coupled to a mirror/lens such that actuation of the actuation device or rotation of the disc translates the elongated member along an axis, which is in general alignment with a pupillary distance (PD) of the consumer. Additionally, the elongated members include mirror/lens interfaces to which the lenses are coupled. The mirror/lens interfaces are slidably and rotatably coupled to the elongated members thereby providing additional degrees of freedom for movement of the lenses.
