SCANNING DISPLAY WITH EYE-TRACKING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17972908 titled 'SCANNING DISPLAY WITH EYE-TRACKING
The abstract describes a patent application for a technology that uses a display light source to generate visible image light, along with an infrared light source that emits infrared light. A scan directs both the image light and the infrared light to an input coupler of a display waveguide, which then presents the image light to an eyebox region as a virtual image.
- Display light source generates visible image light
- Infrared light source emits infrared light
- Scan directs image light and infrared light to display waveguide
- Display waveguide presents image light as virtual image in eyebox region
Potential Applications: - Augmented reality displays - Virtual reality headsets - Military applications for night vision
Problems Solved: - Enhancing user experience with virtual images - Improving visibility in low-light conditions
Benefits: - Enhanced visualization - Improved user immersion - Increased safety in certain applications
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Display Technology for Enhanced Visualization This technology could be used in various industries such as: - Gaming - Healthcare - Defense
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the technology improve visibility in low-light conditions? The technology utilizes an infrared light source to emit infrared light, enhancing visibility in low-light environments.
2. What are the potential applications of this technology in the healthcare industry? This technology could be used in medical imaging devices to enhance visualization for healthcare professionals.
Original Abstract Submitted
Image light is generated with a display light source. The image light is visible. An infrared light source emits infrared light. A scan directs the image light and the infrared light to an input coupler of a display waveguide and the display waveguide presents the image light to an eyebox region as a virtual image.
