AUGMENTED REALITY GLASS AND OPERATING METHOD THEREFOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18067336 titled 'AUGMENTED REALITY GLASS AND OPERATING METHOD THEREFOR
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an augmented reality (AR) glass that includes a light source, an eye tracking sensor, a display waveguide, and a processor. The light source emits display light to show AR images, while the eye tracking sensor detects reflected light from the user's eye. The display waveguide guides the display light to a see-through display area, and the eye tracking waveguide guides the reflected light to the eye tracking sensor. The processor controls the light source and tracks the user's gaze based on the detected reflected light.

Original Abstract Submitted
Augmented reality (AR) glass is provided. The AR glass includes a first light source which emits display light for displaying an AR image, an eye tracking (ET) sensor for detecting reflected light reflected from the eye of a user, glass, which includes a display waveguide for guiding the display light, emitted from the first light source, to a display area of a see-through display, and an ET waveguide for guiding the reflected light to the ET sensor, and a processor electrically connected to the first light source and the ET sensor, wherein the processor controls the first light source so as to emit the display light, and tracks, through the ET sensor, the gaze of the user on the basis of the detected reflected light.
