Electronic Devices With Removable Light Seals - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240077694 titled 'Electronic Devices With Removable Light Seals
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a head-mounted device with adjustable optical assemblies and a custom-fit removable light seal with vision correction lenses.
- Optical assemblies present images to the user
- Motors adjust spacing between optical assemblies for different interpupillary distances
- Housing receives custom-fit removable light seal with vision correction lenses
- Sensor or wireless transceiver in housing receives interpupillary distance information from light seal
- Motors adjust optical assemblies based on this information to match user's interpupillary distance
Potential Applications
The technology could be used in virtual reality headsets, augmented reality glasses, medical devices, and military equipment.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of discomfort and vision issues experienced by users with different interpupillary distances when using head-mounted devices.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved comfort, better vision correction, and a more personalized user experience.
Potential Commercial Applications
- "Custom-fit Removable Light Seal with Adjustable Optical Assemblies for Head-Mounted Devices" could be used in the development of high-end virtual reality headsets for gaming and entertainment.
- This technology could also be integrated into medical devices for precise vision correction during procedures.
Possible Prior Art
There may be prior art related to adjustable interpupillary distance in head-mounted devices, but the specific combination of custom-fit removable light seals with vision correction lenses and motors to adjust optical assemblies may be novel.
Unanswered Questions
How does the sensor or wireless transceiver communicate with the motors to adjust the optical assemblies based on interpupillary distance information?
The communication protocol and mechanism between the sensor/transceiver and the motors are not detailed in the abstract. Further information on this aspect would provide a clearer understanding of the technical implementation.
Are there any potential limitations or drawbacks to using custom-fit removable light seals with vision correction lenses in head-mounted devices?
The abstract does not mention any potential limitations or drawbacks of using custom-fit removable light seals with vision correction lenses. Exploring any challenges or constraints associated with this feature would be beneficial for a comprehensive evaluation of the technology.
Original Abstract Submitted
a head-mounted device may include optical assemblies for presenting images to a user. motors may be used to adjust the spacing between the optical assemblies to accommodate different interpupillary distances. the head-mounted device may have a housing that receives a custom-fit removable light seal with vision correction lenses. a sensor or wireless transceiver in the housing may receive interpupillary distance information from the light seal. based on this information, the motors may adjust the optical assemblies so that the optical assemblies are spaced apart by an amount that matches the interpupillary distance associated with the user of the custom-fit removable light seal.
