User Interfaces for Adjusting a Tunable Lens - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240302657 titled 'User Interfaces for Adjusting a Tunable Lens
The abstract describes an electronic device with a display and a lens module that includes a tunable lens to compensate for a viewer's eyesight by adjusting its optical power based on the point of gaze relative to presented targets.
- The electronic device includes a display and a lens module with a tunable lens.
- The tunable lens has adjustable spherical power, cylindrical axis, and/or cylindrical power.
- The display presents targets to help tune the lens based on the viewer's eyesight.
- The optical power of the tunable lens is set depending on the point of gaze relative to the targets.
- Multiple targets with different optical powers can be presented for tuning the lens.
- The display may include a masking layer with a ring of pinhole pairs to enhance image perception.
- An input device allows users to provide feedback on the perceived image associated with the display and masking layer.
Potential Applications: - Vision correction in electronic devices - Enhanced viewing experience for users with varying eyesight - Personalized display settings based on individual gaze patterns
Problems Solved: - Addressing vision issues for users viewing electronic displays - Improving user experience by adapting display settings to individual needs
Benefits: - Customized vision correction for users - Enhanced clarity and comfort while viewing electronic displays - Improved user satisfaction and usability of electronic devices
Commercial Applications: Title: "Personalized Vision Correction Technology for Electronic Devices" This technology could be applied in smart glasses, virtual reality headsets, and other wearable devices to provide personalized vision correction for users, enhancing their overall viewing experience and comfort.
Prior Art: Further research can be conducted in the field of adaptive optics and vision correction technologies to explore similar approaches in electronic devices.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in tunable lens technology, adaptive optics, and personalized vision correction for electronic devices to understand the latest developments in the field.
Questions about Personalized Vision Correction Technology for Electronic Devices: 1. How does the tunable lens technology in electronic devices differ from traditional vision correction methods? 2. What are the potential implications of personalized vision correction for the future of wearable technology?
Original Abstract Submitted
an electronic device may include a display and a lens module through which the display is viewable. the lens module may include a tunable lens with an adjustable spherical power, cylindrical axis, and/or cylindrical power. to tune the tunable lens to compensate for a viewer's eyesight, the display may present at least one target. the optical power of the tunable lens may be set based on the point of gaze relative to the at least one target. multiple targets with associated optical powers may be presented and the optical power of the tunable lens may be set depending on which target is aligned with the point of gaze. the display may present an image through a masking layer with a ring of pinhole pairs. the electronic device may include an input device that receives user input regarding a perceived image associated with the display and the masking layer.
