Head-Mounted Device With Publicly Viewable Display - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240296002 titled 'Head-Mounted Device With Publicly Viewable Display
Simplified Explanation:
This patent application describes a head-mounted device that can display user-viewable images and publicly viewable images simultaneously. The publicly viewable images may overlap with the user's facial features, and the device uses sensors to adjust the displayed images based on user monitoring data.
- User-viewable display for virtual reality images
- Publicly viewable display for images visible to others
- Overlapping publicly viewable images with user's facial features
- Sensors for user monitoring and image adjustment
- Potential Applications:
1. Virtual reality gaming 2. Augmented reality experiences 3. Social media filters and effects 4. Video conferencing with enhanced visuals 5. Interactive advertising displays
- Problems Solved:
1. Enhancing user experiences with immersive visuals 2. Providing personalized and interactive content 3. Improving social interactions through visual enhancements
- Benefits:
1. Enhanced user engagement 2. Personalized content delivery 3. Improved communication experiences 4. Innovative advertising opportunities
- Commercial Applications:
The technology can be used in gaming, entertainment, communication, advertising, and social media industries to create unique and engaging experiences for users and viewers.
- Prior Art:
Researchers and developers in the field of augmented reality and virtual reality devices may have explored similar concepts of displaying user and publicly viewable images simultaneously.
- Frequently Updated Research:
Stay updated on advancements in head-mounted display technology, user monitoring sensors, and augmented reality applications to understand the latest developments in this field.
Questions about head-mounted display technology:
1. How does the head-mounted device differentiate between user-viewable and publicly viewable images? - The device uses sensors to gather user monitoring data and adjust the displayed images accordingly.
2. What are the potential privacy concerns associated with publicly viewable images overlapping with the user's facial features? - Privacy concerns may arise regarding the use of captured images of user facial features and the potential misuse of such data.
Original Abstract Submitted
a head-mounted device may be worn on the face of a user. the head-mounted device may include a user-viewable display that presents inwardly directed user-viewable images such as virtual reality images to the user. the head-mounted device may also have a publicly viewable display that presents publicly viewable images to individuals near the user. the publicly viewable images may overlap facial features of the user's face. publicly viewable images may include captured images of user facial features or other content, may include computer-generated graphics such as user facial feature graphics, may contain a mixture of captured image content and overlaid graphics such as user facial feature graphics, or may contain other publicly viewable content. user monitoring sensors such as camera and gaze detection sensors, environmental sensors, and other circuitry in the head-mounted device may gather information that is used in adjusting the publicly viewable images.
