IMAGE BASED DETECTION OF FIT FOR A HEAD MOUNTED WEARABLE COMPUTING DEVICE

A system and method of detecting display fit measurements and/or ophthalmic measurements for a head mounted wearable computing device including a display device is provided. An image of a fitting frame worn by a user of the computing device is captured by the user, through an application running on the computing device. One or more keypoints and/or features and/or landmarks are detected in the image including the fitting frame. A three-dimensional pose of the fitting frame is determined based on the detected keypoints and/or features and/or landmarks, and configuration information associated with the fitting frame. The display device of the head mounted wearable computing device can then be configured based on the three-dimensional pose of the fitting frame as captured in the image.

METHOD FOR DETERMINING AN OPTICAL LENS

A method for determining an optical lens adapted for a wearer and optimized for at least a given optical criterion having a target value around a specific gaze direction. The method includes determining an intermediate optical lens by optimizing, using an optimization function, an initial optical lens so that the difference between the value of the at least given optical criterion of the intermediate optical lens and the target value of gaze directions around a specific gaze direction is smaller than or equal to a threshold value, and determining the optical lens by optimizing the intermediate optical lens so as to obtain the largest zone of gaze directions around the specific gaze direction for which the difference between the value of the at least given optical criterion and the target value around the specific gaze direction is smaller than or equal to the threshold value.

OPHTHALMIC LENS HAVING EXTENDED DEPTH OF FIELD
20230047990 · 2023-02-16 ·

The present disclosure relates to an ophthalmic lens with an extended depth of field including an optical unit that includes a first surface and a second surface both centered by an optical axis and opposite to each other. At least one of the first and second surfaces is defined by a superposition of a base sag profile and a feature sag profile and includes in sequence a first zone, a second zone, and a third zone along a radial direction away from the optical axis. The first zone is designed as a freeform surface zone, and the second zone is designed as a phase transition zone. The ophthalmic lens enables patients to acquire a continuous range of vision from intermediate to far distances and also optimizes their far vision without visual interference, such that the resulting far vision correction is equivalent to that of existing monofocal ophthalmic lenses.
