COLOR CALIBRATION TOOL FOR SEE-THROUGH AUGMENTED REALITY ENVIRONMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17848179 titled 'COLOR CALIBRATION TOOL FOR SEE-THROUGH AUGMENTED REALITY ENVIRONMENT

Simplified Explanation

Abstract: A color calibration system allows users to adjust tint/temperature parameters on a see-through display of a computing device. A virtual color reference card is displayed on the see-through display, corresponding to a physical color reference card placed in front of AR glasses. The color calibration system modifies the color properties of the display based on user adjustments. Users can continue adjusting the display properties until the virtual color reference card matches the physical color reference card seen through the AR glasses.

Patent/Innovation:

  • Color calibration system for see-through displays on computing devices.
  • Allows users to adjust tint/temperature parameters.
  • Displays a virtual color reference card on the see-through display.
  • Corresponds to a physical color reference card placed in front of AR glasses.
  • Changes the color properties of the display based on user adjustments.
  • Users can interact with the color calibration UI to continue adjusting the display properties.
  • Aims to match the colors of the virtual color reference card with the physical color reference card seen through the AR glasses.

Potential Applications:

  • Augmented reality (AR) glasses and headsets.
  • Virtual reality (VR) devices with see-through displays.
  • Color-critical applications such as graphic design, photography, and video editing.
  • Medical imaging and diagnostics.
  • Industrial applications requiring accurate color representation.

Problems Solved:

  • Inaccurate color representation on see-through displays.
  • Difficulty in adjusting tint/temperature parameters for AR glasses.
  • Lack of a visual reference for color calibration in AR environments.
  • Limited control over color properties of see-through displays.

Benefits:

  • Improved color accuracy and representation in AR environments.
  • User-friendly interface for adjusting tint/temperature parameters.
  • Real-time adjustments and visual feedback for color calibration.
  • Enhanced user experience in color-critical applications.
  • Increased control over color properties of see-through displays.


Original Abstract Submitted

A color calibration system is configured to permit a user to adjust tint/temperature parameters while displaying a virtual color reference card on a see-through display of a computing device. The virtual color reference card corresponds to a physical color reference card that is placed in front of the AR glasses. Based on the adjustments made by the user via the color calibration UI, the color calibration system makes changes to the color properties of the see-through display. The user can continue adjusting the properties of the see-through display by interacting with the user-selectable elements in the color calibration UI, until the colors of the virtual color reference card overlayed over the field of view of the wearer of the AR glasses match the colors of the physical color reference card seen by the wearer of the AR glasses.
