Abstract: the disclosed device may include a waveguide; an output coupler that couples electromagnetic radiation from within the waveguide to outside of the waveguide; and a reflector positioned on an opposite side of the waveguide from the output coupler, where the reflector reflects electromagnetic radiation that leaks from the waveguide through the opposite side of the waveguide back toward the output coupler. various other devices, systems, and methods are also disclosed.
20250164695. SYSTEMS METHODS IMPROVED OPTICAL SYSTEMS (Meta Platforms Technologies, LLC)
Abstract: an optical element includes a waveguide body that is configured to guide light by total internal reflection from an input end to an output end, an input coupling element located at the input end for coupling light into the waveguide body, and an output coupling element located at the output end for coupling light out of the waveguide body, where the waveguide body includes an organic solid crystal. the organic solid crystal may be a single crystal having principal axes rotated with respect to the dimensions of the waveguide body. such an optical element may have low weight and exhibit good color uniformity while providing polarization scrambling of the guided light.
Abstract: systems, methods, or devices relate to a head mounted display providing a landscape panel layout. in examples, the landscape panel layout includes at least one optical display having a source driver positioned opposite a nasal region, and at least one chamfer cut along a side of the optical display non-adjacent to the source driver. the at least one chamfer cut generates an increased interpupillary distance (ipd) with a second optical display.
Abstract: an illumination system for a non-emissive display panel is provided. the illumination system includes a light source array including a plurality of individually addressable illumination units, an illumination unit being configured to emit a first light beam having a first solid angle. the illumination system also includes a concentrator array coupled with the light source array and including a plurality of concentrators, a concentrator being configured to condition the first light beam into a second light beam associated with a second solid angle that is smaller than the first solid angle, the second light beam providing a substantially uniform illumination at an exit aperture of the concentrator. the illumination system also includes an imaging assembly including one or more optical elements configured to image the substantially uniform illumination at the exit aperture of the concentrator onto the non-emissive display panel.
Abstract: temple arms of augmented-reality glasses are disclosed. an example temple arm includes a curved temple arm housing configured to couple to a frame of a pair of augmented-reality glasses. the curved temple arm housing has a head shaped curvature to contour a portion of the user's head. the curved temple arm housing includes a set of electronic components coupled within the head shaped curvature of the curved temple arm housing and an input device configure to control one or more electronic components positioned within the frame of the pair of ar glasses. the set of electronics including a speaker, a front battery cell and a rear battery cell. the speaker is positioned adjacent to a user's ear and between the front battery cell and the rear battery cell.
Abstract: an augmented-reality headset comprises one or more lenses within a housing of the artificial-reality headset, and at least one of the one or more lenses is configured to present an augmented reality user interface to a wearer of the artificial-reality headset. the augmented-reality headset comprises one or more flexures coupled to a lens of the one or more lenses, and each respective flexure of the one or more flexures is configured to: (i) compress when a force is applied to the housing, thereby reducing a load received at the lens, and (ii) be coupled to the lens to orient the lens to have a predetermined orientation within the housing.
Abstract: a wearable device comprises a unit cell that includes, a structural element that has proximal and distal sides, and a first distal haptic-feedback generator of a first kind and a second distal haptic-feedback generator of the first kind that are both connected to the distal side of the structural element. the unit cell includes a proximal haptic-feedback generator that is connected to the proximal side of the structural element. the wearable device includes a processor configured to: cause a first type of haptic feedback by activating the first distal haptic-feedback generator to cant the structural element relative to skin of the user, cause a second type of haptic feedback by activating the first and second distal haptic-feedback generators to displace the structural element, and cause a third type of haptic feedback by activating the proximal haptic-feedback generator.
Abstract: an administered authentication system can authenticate an artificial reality device using an authorization record between a user account and an artificial reality device. in some implementations, the authorization record is created in response to activation of a user account-specific key sent to a user-supplied contact, where an artificial reality device identifier was provided with the user-supplied contact. in other implementations, the authorization record is created in response to activation of a user account-specific key provided to the artificial reality device as a code, where activation of the key includes adding an artificial reality device identifier to a key activation message. in yet other implementations, the authorization record is created in response to an application associated with a user account activating an artificial reality device-specific key, with an artificial reality device identifier, that is provided via the artificial reality device.
