Systems With Removable Lenses - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240077738 titled 'Systems With Removable Lenses
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system with left and right displays for images, presented to the left and right eye boxes through fixed and removable lenses. The fixed lenses are supported by fixed lens supports, and the removable vision correction lenses can be attached using bayonet mounts with push-and-turn structures.
- Left and right displays for images
- Fixed and removable lenses for vision correction
- Bayonet mounts with push-and-turn structures for attaching lenses
- Fixed lens supports for supporting fixed lenses
Potential Applications
This technology could be used in virtual reality headsets, augmented reality devices, and other wearable display systems.
Problems Solved
This innovation simplifies the process of attaching and removing vision correction lenses in head-mounted devices, making it more convenient for users.
Benefits
Users can easily customize their viewing experience by attaching their own vision correction lenses to the device. This can improve comfort and visual clarity while using the system.
Potential Commercial Applications
The technology could be valuable in the consumer electronics industry, particularly for companies producing virtual reality headsets or smart glasses.
Possible Prior Art
One potential prior art could be existing systems that use interchangeable lenses in eyewear or camera equipment. However, the specific implementation of bayonet mounts with push-and-turn structures for attaching vision correction lenses may be a novel aspect of this patent application.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology impact the overall weight and balance of the head-mounted device?
The article does not address how the addition of removable vision correction lenses may affect the comfort and usability of the system in terms of weight distribution.
The article does not discuss any safety considerations or precautions that may need to be taken when using a system with removable vision correction lenses.
Original Abstract Submitted
a system such as a head-mounted device may have left and right displays for displaying images. the images may be presented to left and right eye boxes through left and right fixed (non-removable) lenses and corresponding left and right removable vision correction lenses. the left and right fixed lenses may be supported by left and right fixed lens supports to which the left and right displays are mounted, respectively. to removably attach the vision correction lenses to the fixed lenses, the fixed lens supports and vision correction lenses may be provided with bayonet mounts. the bayonet mounts may have push-and-turn structures such as pins that mate with corresponding slots.
