EYEWEAR WITH INTER-PUPILLARY DISTANCE ESTIMATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240341591 titled 'EYEWEAR WITH INTER-PUPILLARY DISTANCE ESTIMATION
The eyewear device described in the patent application includes a sensor that measures the deformation of the eyewear frame to estimate the inter-pupillary distance (IPD) of the user. The sensor also determines the head breadth (HB) of the user to further estimate the IPD.
- Sensor used to measure deformation of eyewear frame
- Estimate inter-pupillary distance (IPD) of user
- Determine head breadth (HB) of user
- Processor displays image on eyewear display based on estimated IPD
- Improves virtual object rendering for augmented reality (AR) viewing experience
- Reduces vergence accommodation mismatch (VAM)
- User profile data such as age and gender used to generate more accurate estimated IPD
Potential Applications: - Augmented reality (AR) devices - Virtual reality (VR) devices - Eyewear technology
Problems Solved: - Inaccurate IPD estimation - Vergence accommodation mismatch (VAM)
Benefits: - Improved AR viewing experience - More accurate IPD estimation - Enhanced virtual object rendering
Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Augmented Reality Viewing Experience with Eyewear Device This technology can be used in the development of AR and VR devices for a more immersive and accurate user experience. It has implications in the entertainment, gaming, and healthcare industries.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the sensor measure the deformation of the eyewear frame? The sensor uses advanced technology to detect changes in the frame's shape and size, allowing it to accurately estimate the IPD of the user.
2. What are the potential benefits of using user profile data to generate a more accurate estimated IPD? By incorporating user profile data such as age and gender, the device can tailor the IPD estimation to the specific characteristics of the user, resulting in a more precise and personalized experience.
Original Abstract Submitted
an eyewear device including a sensor used to measure deformation of an eyewear frame to estimate an inter-pupillary distance (ipd) of an eyewear user. the sensor is used to determine head breadth (hb) of the user and to estimate the ipd of the user. a processor displays an image on a display of the eyewear as a function of the estimated ipd to improve virtual object rendering for an improved augmented reality (ar) viewing experience while reducing vergence accommodation mismatch (vam). user profile data, such as age and gender, can be used to generate a more accurate estimated ipd of the user.
