AUGMENTED REALITY DEVICE BASED ON CURVED WAVEGUIDE, METHOD THEREFOR, AUGMENTED REALITY GLASSES BASED ON SAID DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17982009 titled 'AUGMENTED REALITY DEVICE BASED ON CURVED WAVEGUIDE, METHOD THEREFOR, AUGMENTED REALITY GLASSES BASED ON SAID DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an augmented reality device that uses a curved waveguide to project an undistorted image. The device includes a projection system, an input optical compensator, and a curved waveguide with input and output diffractive optical elements.

• The augmented reality device uses a curved waveguide to project an undistorted image.
• It includes a projection system to project the image and an input optical compensator to adjust the light rays.
• The curved waveguide has input and output diffractive optical elements.
• The output diffractive optical element acts as an output optical compensator to convert distorted light beams into parallel beams for an undistorted image.
• The device eliminates aberrations, distortions, and doubling of the image.

Potential Applications

• Augmented reality glasses
• Virtual reality headsets
• Medical imaging
• Gaming and entertainment

Problems Solved

• Aberrations and distortions in projected images
• Doubling of the image
• Inaccurate representation of virtual objects

Benefits

• Provides an undistorted and accurate representation of virtual images
• Enhances user experience in augmented reality applications
• Improves image quality and clarity in medical imaging and gaming

Original Abstract Submitted

The disclosure relates to augmented reality devices based on a curved waveguide. An augmented reality device is provided. The augmented reality device includes a projection system to project an undistorted image, an input optical compensator located on the path of light rays out-coupled from the projection system, a curved waveguide comprising an input diffractive optical element and an output diffractive optical element. The output diffractive optical element performs the function of an output optical compensator that converts the light beams of a distorted image at the output of the waveguide into parallel light beams to output an undistorted image. Augmented reality glasses comprising an augmented reality device are also proposed. There is provided the ability to project a virtual image without aberrations, distortions and doubling of the image.
