CALIBRATION FOR HEAD-MOUNTABLE DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18213780 Titled 'CALIBRATION FOR HEAD-MOUNTABLE DEVICES'

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a device that can be worn on the head and has display elements and cameras. These components need to be calibrated to ensure accurate recording and visual output. While some calibration can be done during production, the device may become misaligned over time. To address this, a case or reference can be used to calibrate the cameras and ensure that captured images are recorded correctly. The case can also be used to calibrate the display elements and ensure that images are output correctly. This calibration process takes into account any lenses that may be installed in front of the display elements.


Original Abstract Submitted

A head-mountable device can include display elements and/or cameras that can be calibrated for accurate recording and visual output. Whereas some aspects of a head-mountable device can be calibrated at the time of production, usage and wear of the head-mountable device can result in certain components becoming misaligned. A case or other reference can be used to calibrate the cameras of the head-mountable device to ensure that the captured images are recorded in a target alignment. The case can be operated with the head-mountable device to calibrate the display elements of the head-mountable device to ensure that the images are output in a target alignment. Such calibration can include consideration of any lenses installed in front of the display elements.
