Head Mounted Display with Visual Condition Compensation - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240310909 titled 'Head Mounted Display with Visual Condition Compensation
The patent application describes a method for compensating for a visual impairment in a virtual reality environment using multiple computer systems associated with a head-mounted display.
- Rendering an initial image for display in a virtual reality environment.
- Determining a first visual adjustment to the HMD based on an input received by the HMD, associated with a user's visual impairment.
- Determining a second visual adjustment if the first adjustment does not meet a threshold measure of compensation.
- Rendering an adjusted image for display based on the first and second visual adjustments.
Potential Applications: - Assistive technology for individuals with visual impairments in virtual reality settings. - Medical training simulations for visually impaired individuals. - Accessibility features in virtual reality gaming.
Problems Solved: - Providing a solution for visual impairments in virtual reality environments. - Enhancing the user experience for individuals with visual impairments. - Improving inclusivity in virtual reality applications.
Benefits: - Enhanced accessibility for users with visual impairments. - Improved user experience in virtual reality environments. - Increased inclusivity in virtual reality applications.
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Virtual Reality Experience for Users with Visual Impairments" This technology could be utilized in: - Virtual reality gaming industry. - Medical training and simulation companies. - Accessibility technology companies.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this method improve the virtual reality experience for users with visual impairments? - This method provides tailored visual adjustments to compensate for specific impairments, enhancing the overall experience for users.

Original Abstract Submitted
a method for compensating for a visual impairment in a virtual reality environment, by multiple computer systems associated with a head mounted display, including, rendering an initial image for display in a virtual reality environment, determining a first visual adjustment to the hmd based on an input received by the hmd, the input being associated with a visual impairment of a user of the hmd, determining that the first visual adjustment does not satisfy a threshold measure of compensation for the visual impairment of the user, determining a second visual adjustment to the hmd, and rendering an adjusted image for display in the virtual reality environment based on the first visual adjustment and the second visual adjustment.
