HEAD MOUNT DISPLAY, INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18700002 titled 'HEAD MOUNT DISPLAY, INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD
The patent application describes a head-mounted display that includes a left display and a right display, each showing images for the left and right eyes of the user, respectively. The displays are housed in front of the user's eyes, and there are left and right cameras outside the housing capturing images.
- The head-mounted display consists of separate left and right displays for each eye.
- The housing supports the displays in front of the user's eyes.
- Left and right cameras outside the housing capture images.
- The interval between the left and right cameras is wider than the interocular distance of the user.
Potential Applications: - Virtual reality gaming - Augmented reality applications - Medical training simulations
Problems Solved: - Providing a more immersive visual experience - Enhancing depth perception in virtual environments
Benefits: - Improved user experience in virtual and augmented reality - Enhanced training simulations for medical professionals
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhancing Virtual Reality Experiences with Head-Mounted Displays" This technology can be used in the gaming industry, medical field, and other industries requiring immersive visual experiences.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the wider interval between the left and right cameras benefit the user's experience?
- The wider interval enhances depth perception and provides a more realistic visual experience.
2. What are the potential drawbacks of using a head-mounted display with separate left and right displays?
- Some users may experience discomfort or disorientation initially, but this can be mitigated with proper calibration and adjustment.
