Head Worn Augmented Reality Displays - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240219738 titled 'Head Worn Augmented Reality Displays

The abstract describes a head-worn augmented reality display that utilizes waveguide technology to project images containing light towards the user's eyes.

• The display includes a first waveguide and a second waveguide that are transparent to light from the outside environment.
• A first projector outputs an image towards the first waveguide, which then reflects the light towards the user's first eye.
• A second projector outputs an image towards the second waveguide, which reflects the light towards the user's second eye.

Potential Applications: - Augmented reality gaming - Medical training and visualization - Industrial maintenance and repair

Problems Solved: - Providing a more immersive augmented reality experience - Allowing users to interact with digital information in a hands-free manner

Benefits: - Enhanced user experience - Improved accuracy and efficiency in various tasks - Hands-free operation for increased safety and convenience

Commercial Applications: - Consumer electronics industry for AR glasses - Healthcare industry for medical training and visualization tools - Industrial sector for maintenance and repair applications

Questions about the technology: 1. How does this technology improve upon existing augmented reality displays? 2. What are the potential limitations of using waveguide technology in head-worn displays?

Original Abstract Submitted

disclosed herein is a head worn augmented reality display including a waveguide assembly including a first waveguide and a second waveguide; a first projector configured to output image containing light towards a first waveguide, where the image containing light is inputted into total internal reflection in the first waveguide and then outputted towards a user's first eye; a second projector configured to output image containing light towards a second waveguide, where the image containing light is inputted into total internal reflection in the second waveguide and then outputted towards a user's second eye. the first waveguide and the second waveguide are substantially transparent to light from the outside environment such that both the image containing light and light from the outside environment enters the user's eyes.
