11490673 · 2022-11-08 ·

The headwear with integrated image projector comprises an image projector and a hat. The hat may be adapted to be worn upon a head of a wearer. The image projector may be coupled to the hat. The hat may project a projected image from the hat onto a viewing surface using the image projector. In some embodiments, the image projector may be coupled to a first position of the hat and the viewing surface may be a second position of the hat. As a non-limiting example, the first position may be the front of the hat bowl and the second position may be the top surface of the hat brim. In some embodiments, the hat having the image projector may comprise a wireless communication interface such that the image projector may communicate with an application program running on a wearer's smartphone.

TECHNOLOGY FOR ASSISTANCE WITH A VIEW OBSTRUCTED BY A USERS HAND
20230089701 · 2023-03-23 ·

For assistance viewing an object, a computer system receives first data from a first sensor sensing an object when a user's view of at least a portion of the object is obstructed by a hand of the user. The first sensor is fixed to a first wearable device. The computer system generates an image of the obstructed portion of the object in response to the first data. An image of the obstructed portion of the object is projected onto a surface within a view of the user.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR A MULTI-PRIMARY WIDE GAMUT COLOR SYSTEM

Systems and methods for a multi-primary color system for display. A multi-primary color system increases the number of primary colors available in a color system and color system equipment. Increasing the number of primary colors reduces metameric errors from viewer to viewer. One embodiment of the multi-primary color system includes Red, Green, Blue, Cyan, Yellow, and Magenta primaries. The systems of the present invention maintain compatibility with existing color systems and equipment and provide systems for backwards compatibility with older color systems.

Modular Robot

Provided is a robot including a chassis; a set of wheels coupled to the chassis; a plurality of sensors; a processor; and a tangible, non-transitory, machine readable medium storing instructions that when executed by the processor effectuates operations. The operations include capturing, with an image sensor disposed on the robot, a plurality of images of an environment of the robot as the robot navigates within the environment; identifying, with the processor, an obstacle type of an obstacle captured in an image based on a comparison between features of the obstacle and features of obstacles with different obstacles types stored in a database; and determining, with the processor, an action of the robot based on the obstacle type of the obstacle.

Automatic keystone correction in a projection system

A method for automatic keystone correction in a projection system is provided that includes rectifying a first image to be projected using current keystone correction parameters to generate a first rectified image, projecting, by a projector in the projection system, the first rectified image on a projection surface, determining whether or not current keystone correction parameters are providing sufficient keystone correction after the first rectified image is projected, rectifying a second image to be projected using the current keystone correction parameters to generate a second rectified image if the current keystone correction parameters are providing sufficient keystone correction, computing new keystone correction parameters if the current keystone correction parameters are not providing sufficient keystone correction and rectifying the second image to be projected using the new keystone correction parameters to generate the second rectified image, and projecting, by the projector, the second rectified image on the projection surface.

Awning projector system

A projector system including an awning bar having an awning bar body having a length extending between a first end and a second end. The projector system includes a projector having a projection lens. The projector is attachable to the awning bar along the length. The awning bar is configured to attach to a portion of an awning canopy such that the projection lens is located below the awning canopy when the awning canopy is in an open position.

ADAPTIVE INNER LOOP GAIN CONTROL FOR LASER BEAM SCANNING DISPLAYS
20230069514 · 2023-03-02 ·

This disclosure provides methods and systems that adaptively adjust the gain of the drive signal to a slow-scan mirror to compensate and stabilize the mirror to achieve desired performance metrics. Non-ideal characteristics of the slow-scan mirror, including the mirror and related assembly, exhibit behaviors that impact the overall gain of the device, which changes over time and operating environment. To compensate for these non-ideal characteristics, the drive signal to the slow-scan mirror may need to be adjusted to achieve the desired beam deflection angle. An adaptive inner loop gain control structure may be employed to dynamically adjust the gain of the inner-control loop to achieve a target gain such that the overall gain variations from the slow scan mirror and other components are scan mirror such that compensated and stabilized. The parameters, logic and blocks of the inner loop gain control may be implemented in hardware, software, or combinations thereof.

Projecting content onto water to enhance computer simulation

Content is projected onto the surface of water such that it can be viewed from either above or below the surface. Using distortion mapping, depth sensing, and de-noising, the image can remain unaffected by ripples and allow the user to interact within the body of liquid and/or use it as input. Liquids of different density can be layered on the surface to create different refraction planes. Water currents and jets can be used to actively reduce ripples from user interaction, as well as actively adding or removing liquid from the container to counteract displacement or create effect.
