AR SYSTEM BENDING CORRECTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18643790 titled 'AR SYSTEM BENDING CORRECTION

The patent application describes a system for correcting deformation or bending in an Augmented Reality (AR) system by using sensors in the frame of a head-worn AR device to detect forces or pressure from temple pieces attached to the frame. This information is then used to adjust the model of the frame, which in turn corrects the video data captured by the AR system and the virtual overlay provided to the user.

  • Sensors in the frame of a head-worn AR system detect forces or pressure from temple pieces.
  • The detected forces or pressure are used to adjust the model of the frame.
  • The corrected frame model is used to correct the video data and virtual overlay provided to the user.
  • This technology aims to improve the user experience and accuracy of the AR system.
  • By dynamically adjusting the frame model, the system ensures a more comfortable and accurate AR experience for the user.

Potential Applications: - Augmented Reality devices - Virtual reality systems - Wearable technology - Gaming and entertainment industry - Medical applications for precise visualization

Problems Solved: - Correcting deformation or bending in AR systems - Improving user comfort and accuracy - Enhancing the overall AR experience

Benefits: - Increased accuracy in AR visualization - Improved user comfort and wearability - Enhanced user experience in AR applications - Potential for medical applications requiring precise visualization

Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhancing Augmented Reality Experience with Deformation Correction Technology" This technology could be utilized in various commercial applications such as: - AR gaming devices - Medical visualization tools - Training and simulation programs - Entertainment and media production

Questions about Deformation Correction Technology: 1. How does the system detect forces or pressure in the frame of the AR device?

  The system uses sensors positioned in the frame to sense forces or pressure from temple pieces attached to the frame.

2. What are the potential implications of this technology in the medical field?

  This technology could be used in medical applications for precise visualization and training purposes.


Original Abstract Submitted

A system for deformation or bending correction in an Augmented Reality (AR) system. Sensors are positioned in a frame of a head-worn AR system to sense forces or pressure acting on the frame by temple pieces attached to the frame. The sensed forces or pressure are used in conjunction with a model of the frame to determine a corrected model of the frame. The corrected model is used to correct video data captured by the AR system and to correct a video virtual overlay that is provided to a user wearing the head-worn AR system.
