WEARABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE ADJUSTING TRANSMITTANCE OF VISOR AND BRIGHTNESS OF DISPLAY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18082258 titled 'WEARABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE ADJUSTING TRANSMITTANCE OF VISOR AND BRIGHTNESS OF DISPLAY
Simplified Explanation
The wearable electronic device described in the patent application allows for adjustment of the transmittance of a visor and the intensity of a display. It includes a visor that controls the amount of external light entering the user's eyes, a display that projects light onto the user's eyes through an optical waveguide, a camera that captures an image of the user's eyes, and a processor that tracks the user's gaze direction and controls the visor and display accordingly.
- The wearable electronic device adjusts the amount of external light entering the user's eyes based on the transmittance of the visor.
- The device uses an optical waveguide to project light onto the user's eyes, providing a display without obstructing the user's vision.
- A camera captures an image of the user's eyes, allowing the processor to track the user's gaze direction.
- The processor determines the transmittance of the visor and the intensity of light output from the display based on the user's gaze direction.
Potential Applications
- Augmented reality devices: The wearable electronic device can be used in augmented reality glasses or headsets to provide a customizable display experience based on the user's gaze direction.
- Virtual reality devices: The device can also be applied in virtual reality headsets to adjust the transmittance of the visor and the intensity of the display, enhancing the immersive experience.
- Eye-tracking technology: The camera and processor combination can be utilized in eye-tracking applications, such as assistive technologies for individuals with disabilities or in research and development for human-computer interaction.
Problems Solved
- Eye strain and discomfort: By adjusting the transmittance of the visor and the intensity of the display based on the user's gaze direction, the device can help reduce eye strain and discomfort caused by excessive light exposure.
- Limited visibility: The device addresses the issue of limited visibility in bright environments by controlling the amount of external light entering the user's eyes.
- Customizable display experience: The wearable electronic device allows for a personalized and customizable display experience based on the user's gaze direction, improving usability and user satisfaction.
Benefits
- Enhanced user experience: The device provides a more comfortable and immersive user experience by adjusting the transmittance of the visor and the intensity of the display based on the user's gaze direction.
- Improved visibility: By controlling the amount of external light entering the user's eyes, the device improves visibility in various lighting conditions.
- Customizability: The wearable electronic device offers a customizable display experience, allowing users to optimize their viewing experience based on their individual preferences and needs.
Original Abstract Submitted
Provided is a wearable electronic device which may adjust the transmittance of a visor and the intensity of a display. According to various example embodiments, a wearable electronic device may include a visor adjusting the amount of external light entering a user's eyes depending on a transmittance, a display outputting the light projected on the user's eyes through an optical waveguide, a camera capturing an image of the user's eyes, and a processor tracking the user's gaze direction from the image of the user's eyes and supplying a control signal to the visor and the display, wherein the processor may determine the transmittance of the visor and the intensity of light output from the display.
