IMAGING MODIFICATION, DISPLAY AND VISUALIZATION USING AUGMENTED AND VIRTUAL REALITY EYEWEAR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240053612 titled 'IMAGING MODIFICATION, DISPLAY AND VISUALIZATION USING AUGMENTED AND VIRTUAL REALITY EYEWEAR

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a display system that uses a head-mounted display to project augmented reality images to a user's eye. The system includes user sensors and environmental sensors to sense the user and their surroundings. Processing electronics are used to sense the user's focus and intent, and based on this information, alter the user's perception of real or virtual objects within their field of vision.

• The display system includes a head-mounted display that projects light to the user's eye to display augmented reality image content.
• User sensors are used to sense the user, while environmental sensors are used to sense the user's surroundings.
• Processing electronics are in communication with the display, user sensors, and environmental sensors.
• The processing electronics can sense a situation involving user focus and determine the user's intent for that situation.
• Based on the user's intent and/or the sensed situation, the processing electronics can alter the user's perception of a real or virtual object within their field of vision.
• The processing electronics can enhance or de-emphasize the user's perception of the real or virtual object.

Potential applications of this technology:

• Augmented reality gaming
• Virtual training and simulations
• Medical procedures and surgeries
• Industrial maintenance and repair
• Architectural and interior design visualization

Problems solved by this technology:

• Enhances user experience by altering perception of real or virtual objects based on user intent and situation
• Provides a more immersive and interactive augmented reality experience
• Allows for personalized and adaptive augmented reality content based on user focus and intent

Benefits of this technology:

• Improved user engagement and interaction with augmented reality content
• Enhanced user experience and immersion in virtual environments
• Increased efficiency and effectiveness in training and simulation scenarios
• Personalized and adaptive augmented reality experiences based on user intent and focus

Original Abstract Submitted

a display system can include a head-mounted display configured to project light to an eye of a user to display augmented reality image content to the user. the display system can include one or more user sensors configured to sense the user and can include one or more environmental sensors configured to sense surroundings of the user. the display system can also include processing electronics in communication with the display, the one or more user sensors, and the one or more environmental sensors. the processing electronics can be configured to sense a situation involving user focus, determine user intent for the situation, and alter user perception of a real or virtual object within the vision field of the user based at least in part on the user intent and/or sensed situation involving user focus. the processing electronics can be configured to at least one of enhance or de-emphasize the user perception of the real or virtual object within the vision field of the user.
