AUGMENTED REALITY DEVICE FOR ADJUSTING FOCUS REGION ACCORDING TO DIRECTION OF USER'S VIEW AND OPERATING METHOD OF THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18482576 titled 'AUGMENTED REALITY DEVICE FOR ADJUSTING FOCUS REGION ACCORDING TO DIRECTION OF USER'S VIEW AND OPERATING METHOD OF THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an augmented reality (AR) device that includes a variable focus lens. The focal length of the lens can be changed by adjusting its refractive power and the position of a focus adjustment region. The device obtains the user's view direction using an eye tracker and adjusts the refractive power of the lens accordingly to display a virtual image. It also adjusts the refractive power of a second focus adjustment lens to complement the adjusted refractive power of the first lens.
- The AR device has a variable focus lens that can change its focal length by adjusting refractive power and the position of a focus adjustment region.
- An eye tracker is used to obtain the user's view direction.
- The refractive power of the lens is adjusted based on the user's view direction to display a virtual image.
- The refractive power of a second focus adjustment lens is complementarily adjusted with respect to the refractive power of the first lens.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Augmented reality devices and headsets
- Virtual reality devices
- Medical imaging and diagnostics
- Gaming and entertainment
- Training and simulation
Problems solved by this technology:
- Improved focus and clarity in augmented reality displays
- Enhanced user experience by adapting the virtual image to the user's view direction
- More natural and immersive virtual reality experiences
- Accurate and precise medical imaging and diagnostics
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved visual quality and comfort in augmented reality and virtual reality devices
- Enhanced user engagement and immersion in virtual environments
- Better accuracy and efficiency in medical imaging and diagnostics
- Increased realism and effectiveness in training and simulation applications
Original Abstract Submitted
An augmented reality (AR) device including a variable focus lens of which a focal length may be changed by adjusting refractive power and adjusting the position of a focus adjustment region of the variable focus lens according to a direction of the user's view. The AR device may obtain an eye vector indicating a direction of the user's view using an eye tracker, adjust a refractive power of a first focus adjustment region of a first variable focus lens to change a focal length for displaying a virtual image, and complementarily adjust a refractive power of a second focus adjustment lens with respect to the adjusted refractive power of the first focus adjustment region.
