DYNAMIC FIELD OF VIEW VARIABLE FOCUS DISPLAY SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240280827 titled 'DYNAMIC FIELD OF VIEW VARIABLE FOCUS DISPLAY SYSTEM
The abstract describes an augmented reality (AR) device with a display system that can adjust the apparent distance between the user and virtual content presented by the device. This is achieved through the use of tunable lenses that change shape to position the virtual content without distorting real-world content.
- The AR device includes a first tunable lens that changes shape to affect the position of the virtual content.
- A second tunable lens prevents distortion of real-world content by changing shape to complement the optical configuration of the first tunable lens.
- The device can position virtual content at various distances relative to the user without compromising the view of the outside world or adding bulk.
- Tunable lenses can also be used to expand the field of view of the AR device.
Potential Applications: - Augmented reality gaming - Virtual tours and experiences - Training and simulations - Medical imaging and visualization - Navigation and wayfinding
Problems Solved: - Maintaining a clear view of the real world while using AR devices - Adjusting the position of virtual content without distortion - Expanding the field of view without compromising image quality
Benefits: - Enhanced user experience in AR applications - Improved accuracy and precision in positioning virtual content - Versatile and adaptable device for various use cases
Commercial Applications: Augmented reality devices with advanced display systems can be used in industries such as gaming, healthcare, education, and navigation to provide immersive and interactive experiences for users.
Questions about Augmented Reality Devices with Tunable Lenses: 1. How do tunable lenses in AR devices enhance the user experience? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing tunable lenses in AR technology?
Frequently Updated Research: Researchers are continually exploring new ways to improve the functionality and performance of AR devices with tunable lenses, including advancements in lens materials and shape-changing technologies.
Original Abstract Submitted
an augmented reality (ar) device is described with a display system configured to adjust an apparent distance between a user of the ar device and virtual content presented by the ar device. the ar device includes a first tunable lens that change shape in order to affect the position of the virtual content. distortion of real-world content on account of the changes made to the first tunable lens is prevented by a second tunable lens that changes shape to stay substantially complementary to the optical configuration of the first tunable lens. in this way, the virtual content can be positioned at almost any distance relative to the user without degrading the view of the outside world or adding extensive bulk to the ar device. the augmented reality device can also include tunable lenses for expanding a field of view of the augmented reality device.
