EYEWEAR WITH INTEGRATED PERIPHERAL DISPLAY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240248311 titled 'EYEWEAR WITH INTEGRATED PERIPHERAL DISPLAY
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes systems and methods for projecting a sequence of images using a shifting element in near-eye display systems for virtual reality, augmented reality, or mixed reality applications.
- The system receives a chronology of images and divides them into portions to recreate the images based on arrangement data.
- It causes a high-speed display of the image sequences to appear simultaneous to the viewer.
- The projection is transmitted to a shifting optical element, such as a rotating micromirror, to display the images to the user.
- The system can detect and correct image and environmental distortions.
Key Features and Innovation: - Division of images into portions for recreation based on arrangement data. - High-speed display of image sequences for simultaneous viewing. - Use of shifting optical elements like rotating micromirrors for projection. - Detection and correction of image and environmental distortions.
Potential Applications: This technology can be used in virtual reality, augmented reality, and mixed reality systems for immersive visual experiences, training simulations, gaming, and medical applications.
Problems Solved: - Addressing image distortion and environmental factors in near-eye display systems. - Enhancing the quality and realism of projected images for users.
Benefits: - Improved visual quality and accuracy in image projection. - Enhanced user experience in virtual and augmented reality environments. - Correction of distortions for more realistic and immersive displays.
Commercial Applications: The technology can be applied in the development of advanced virtual reality headsets, augmented reality glasses, training simulations for various industries, and medical imaging systems, potentially impacting the entertainment, healthcare, and education sectors.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the shifting optical element improve image projection in near-eye display systems? 2. What are the main advantages of using high-speed image sequences in virtual reality applications?
Original Abstract Submitted
systems and methods for projecting each of a chronology of images as a sequence of images using a shifting element as part of a near-eye display system are provided for use in virtual reality, augmented reality, or mixed reality systems. in some example embodiments, a chronology of images is received by a peripheral sequencing system. the system divides each image into image portions and generates sequences of image portions to recreate the images based on arrangement data. the system then causes a high-speed display of each sequence of images such that they appear simultaneous to a viewer. in some embodiments, the projection is transmitted to a shifting optical element such as a rotating micromirror that propagates a display to a user. in some embodiments, the system further detects and corrects for image and environmental distortions.
