A display device includes a display portion including a first surface, from which light is emitted in a first direction, and a second surface opposite to the first surface, a first optical portion disposed on the first surface, and a second optical portion disposed on the first surface to be spaced apart from the first optical portion in a second direction crossing the first direction. Each of the first and second optical portions includes a multi-channel lens through which the light from the first surface passes, a first infrared light source, a first camera, and a first lens frame coupled to the multi-channel lens in the first direction to support at least a portion of the multi-channel lens. The first lens frame may include a first recess structure in which the first infrared light source is disposed and a second recess structure in which the first camera is disposed.

Provided are an information processing apparatus, a head mounted display housing, and an information processing method capable of providing a virtual reality experience suitable for individual users. Provided is an information processing apparatus that is detachably held by a housing to be usable as a head mounted display, and that includes a display unit (306) that displays an image; a detection unit (308) that detects an indicator provided in the housing; and a control unit (302) that controls the image displayed on the display unit based on information indicated by the indicator, the information being detected by the detection unit.

Light of a virtual image of image content is projected by an optical subsystem to an eye location. The optical subsystem collects the light from or through a first aperture onto an exit pupil on a surface proximate to an outer surface of an eye, and forms an image of the first aperture at the exit pupil. The virtual image is of an object located within a second aperture, wherein the first and second apertures are not collocated. In an associated method, a flat-panel image-display modulator within the second aperture imparts image content of the virtual image onto light generated by a source of light within the first aperture.

Techniques for facilitating stray light mitigation are provided. In one example, a method includes determining moving averages associated with an image. Each of the moving averages is associated with a respective window size. The method further includes determining a kernel based on the moving averages. The method further includes generating a stray light compensated image based on the image and the kernel. Related devices and systems are also provided.

Embodiments described herein are directed to optical systems creating an optical image on an image sensor, the optical image having at least one foveated region of interest created using at least one localized magnification optical feature on an optical surface. The optical system can be useful to increase the number of infrared pixels that are used to image a specific target which is only in a part of the object scene, while still being able to image the whole scene in the RGB part of the spectrum. In a preferred embodiment, the optical system is used in an automotive scenario to image with higher resolution the driver in order to more efficiently run face tracking and recognition algorithms.
