Electronic Device With Facial Sensors - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18447045 titled 'Electronic Device With Facial Sensors

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system with a head-mounted device that includes a display for viewing images by the user.

  • The head-mounted device has a compressible opaque light seal in the shape of a ring to block stray ambient light around the device.
  • This ensures that the user can view the displayed image without any interference from stray light.
  • The light seal also includes sensors to measure facial expressions and gather other measurements.
  • These measurements can be transmitted to external devices, allowing them to update corresponding facial expressions on an avatar to reflect the user's current facial expression.


Original Abstract Submitted

A system may include a head-mounted device. The head-mounted device may have a head-mounted housing that includes a display. The display is configured to display an image for viewing by a user when the user's eyes are located in eye boxes adjacent to the head-mounted housing. The head-mounted housing may have a compressible opaque light seal. The light seal may have a ring shape and may block stray ambient light around the periphery of the head-mounted housing, thereby ensuring that stray light does not interfere with viewing of the image by the user. Sensors may be provided in the light seal to measure facial expressions and gather other measurements. Information on a measured facial expression of a user can be transmitted to external devices so that the external devices can update corresponding facial expressions on an avatar to reflect the user's current facial expression.
