AUGMENTED REALITY SMARTGLASSES DISPLAY CALIBRATION IN THE PRESENCE OF PRESCRIPTION LENSES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240337841 titled 'AUGMENTED REALITY SMARTGLASSES DISPLAY CALIBRATION IN THE PRESENCE OF PRESCRIPTION LENSES

Abstract: The techniques of correcting wavefronts from prescription lenses for image calibration in a smart glasses assembly involve correcting wavefront error at a calibration camera by performing a phase modulation of optical wave-fronts emanating from the back surface of a prescription lens in a smart glasses assembly prior to the optical wavefronts being detected by the calibration camera. For example, when collimated light from a waveguide disposed within a rim portion of a smart glasses frame is incident on a prescription lens, that lens induces a wavefront aberration that would be corrected in the prescribed user's eye. In an image calibration, however, there is no such correcting eye so a correction mechanism that corrects the wavefront aberration should be placed in an eye plane related to a location of an eye of the user when the user wears the smart glasses assembly.

Key Features and Innovation:

  • Correction of wavefront error in prescription lenses for image calibration in smart glasses assembly.
  • Phase modulation of optical wave-fronts from the back surface of the prescription lens.
  • Correction mechanism placed in an eye plane related to the user's eye location when wearing the smart glasses assembly.
