EYEPIECES FOR AUGMENTED REALITY DISPLAY SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240302660 titled 'EYEPIECES FOR AUGMENTED REALITY DISPLAY SYSTEM
The abstract describes an augmented reality display system with two eyepiece waveguides that receive and in-couple subsets of input beams of light corresponding to different sub-portions of the field of view of an input image.
- The system includes a first eyepiece waveguide with a first input coupling grating (ICG) region that in-couples a first subset of input beams corresponding to a first sub-portion of the field of view.
- A second eyepiece waveguide with a second ICG region receives and in-couples at least a second subset of input beams corresponding to a second sub-portion of the field of view.
- The first and second sub-portions of the field of view can be partially different but together include the complete field of view of the input image.
Potential Applications: - Augmented reality headsets - Virtual reality devices - Military applications for situational awareness
Problems Solved: - Efficiently displaying a wide field of view in augmented reality systems - Providing a seamless viewing experience with multiple sub-portions of the field of view
Benefits: - Enhanced user experience in augmented reality applications - Improved immersion and realism in virtual environments
Commercial Applications: - Development of advanced augmented reality headsets for consumer and industrial use - Integration into military and defense systems for enhanced situational awareness
Questions about Augmented Reality Display System: 1. How does the system handle the in-coupling of different subsets of input beams? 2. What are the potential challenges in aligning the first and second sub-portions of the field of view?
Frequently Updated Research: - Stay updated on advancements in waveguide technology for augmented reality displays.
Original Abstract Submitted
an augmented reality display system can include a first eyepiece waveguide with a first input coupling grating (icg) region. the first icg region can receive a set of input beams of light corresponding to an input image having a corresponding field of view (fov), and can in-couple a first subset of the input beams. the first subset of input beams can correspond to a first sub-portion of the fov. the system can also include a second eyepiece waveguide with a second icg region. the second icg region can receive and in-couple at least a second subset of the input beams. the second subset of the input beams can correspond to a second sub-portion of the fov. the first and second sub-portions of the fov can be at least partially different but together include the complete fov of the input image.
