FIT DETECTION SYSTEM FOR HEAD-MOUNTABLE DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240230318 titled 'FIT DETECTION SYSTEM FOR HEAD-MOUNTABLE DEVICES
Simplified Explanation: This patent application describes a device that helps users select components for a head-mountable device to ensure the best fit. By offering modular features, specific modules can be customized without the need to custom fit the entire device for each user.
- The device is worn by the user to detect their features and guide them in selecting the optimal components for a head-mountable device.
- Modular components such as face seals and head engagers can be chosen to provide a custom fit.
- An electronic device assists the user in selecting the best components for the head-mountable device.
Potential Applications: 1. Virtual reality headsets 2. Augmented reality glasses 3. Industrial head-mounted displays
Problems Solved: 1. Ensuring a comfortable and secure fit for head-mounted devices 2. Simplifying the customization process for users 3. Improving user experience with head-mounted technology
Benefits: 1. Enhanced comfort and usability 2. Cost-effective customization 3. Streamlined selection process for users
Commercial Applications: The technology can be used in the development of consumer and industrial head-mounted devices, improving user experience and market competitiveness.
Prior Art: Prior art related to this technology may include patents or research on modular components for wearable devices and head-mounted displays.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in modular components for head-mounted devices and user interface design for wearable technology.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does this device detect the user's features accurately? 2. What are the potential cost savings for manufacturers implementing this technology?
Original Abstract Submitted
a fitting device that can be worn by a user to facilitate detection of the user's features and guide the user to selecting components (e.g., modules) of a head-mountable device that will provide the best fit when assembled together. by providing head-mountable devices with modular features, certain modules can provide a custom fit without requiring the entire head-mountable device to be custom fitted to each user. an electronic device can be operated to guide a user to select the optimal components, such as a face seal and/or head engager for use with an hmd module.
