SEE-THROUGH DISPLAY DEVICE
A see-through display device includes an image generation unit configured to emit a virtual image light, a light combining unit configured to combine the virtual image light with an actual image light, and a driving unit including a deformation unit and a bridge unit disposed between the deformation unit and the image generation unit, and configured to control a distance between the image generation unit and the light combining unit through the deformation unit and the bridge unit.
HEAD-MOUNTED DISPLAY, HEAD-MOUNTED DISPLAY LINKING SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR SAME
A head-mounted display comprises: a wearing body; a display; a communication module configured to perform communication connection with a mobile information terminal; a field of view (FOV) sensor configured to output status data used for determining whether the mobile information terminal is included in a user's FOV through the wearing body; and a controller connected to each of the display, the communication module, and the FOV detection sensor. The controller determines whether the mobile information terminal is included in the user's FOV based on the status data, and performs display control with respect to the display so as to display an application screen of the mobile information terminal on the display when determining that the mobile information terminal is not included in the FOV, and not to display the application screen on the display when determining that the mobile information terminal is included in the FOV.
Overhang rotatable multi-sensory device and a virtual reality multi-sensory system comprising the same
A virtual reality multi-sensory system includes an overhang rotatable multi-sensory device and a head-mounted multi-sensory device. The overhang rotatable multi-sensory device includes a fixed base, a control unit, a rotatable base, a driving device and a multi-sensory module having at least one selecting from the group consisting of a wind module, a hot air module, a heat module, and a liquid mist module. The head-mounted multi-sensory device includes a helmet, a display screen, earphones, a positioning module and an air flow guiding module. The present invention truly simulates image, sound effect, air flow, humidity, temperature, and smell of a specific environment, to stimulate the senses of sight, hearing, smell, and touch etc. of the user, thereby allowing the user to have an immersive experience in the simulated environment and avoiding increasing physical burden on the user's body.
Active alignment of pancake lens based display assemblies
A display assembly of a head mounted display (HMD) includes a pancake lens display assembly. The pancake display assembly comprises a first lens with a quarter-waveplate and a partially reflective surface, a second lens with a reflective polarizer, and a display. An alignment system positions the first lens relative to the second lens to align the reflective polarizer of the second lens with the quarter-waveplate of the first lens. The alignment system rotates the first lens about an optical axis to position the quarter-waveplate on the first lens such that the quarter-waveplate and the reflective polarizer on the second lens are at an angle where light transmitted through the second lens and then through the first lens is substantially circularly polarized. The alignment system mounts the second lens to the lens housing such that the quarter-waveplate is at the angle relative to the reflective polarizer.
Head-Mounted Electronic Device With Self-Mixing Sensors
A head-mounted device may have a head-mounted housing and optical components supported by the head-mounted housing. The optical components may include cameras, movable optical modules, and other components. Each optical module may include a display that displays an image and a lens that provides the image to a corresponding eye box. Optical self-mixing sensors may be included in the optical modules and other portions of the head-mounted device to measure changes in optical component position. In response to detecting a change in optical component position, actuators in the device may be adjusted to move the optical components or other action may be taken to compensate for the change.
EYEWEAR DEVICE WITH FINGER ACTIVATED TOUCH SENSOR
An eyewear device includes a frame, a temple connected to a lateral side of the frame, a processor, and an image display. The eyewear device further includes a touch sensor. The touch sensor includes an input surface and a sensor array that is coupled to the input surface to receive at least one finger contact inputted from a user. The sensor array can be a capacitive array or a resistive array. A sensing circuit is configured to measure voltage to track the at least one finger contact on the input surface. The processor of the eyewear device can identify a finger gesture based on at least one detected touch event, and adjust an image presented on the image display based on the identified finger gesture.
HEAD-UP DISPLAY FOR VEHICLE HAVING REINFORCED ASSEMBLY STRUCTURE
A head-up display for a vehicle in which an assembly structure of a screen and a picture generation unit (PGU) is reinforced. The head-up display for a vehicle according to one embodiment includes a lower case embedded with a board assembly, and a screen connected to the lower case in a plurality of directions and snap-fit-coupled to the lower case by passing through the board assembly in at least one direction.
