  • Publication number: 20170139209
    Abstract: A system (100), method (900), and apparatus (110) for displaying an image (880). The system (100) can use a curved mirror (420) in conjunction with a partially transparent plate (430) to project an image directly on the eyes (92) of a user (90). The curved mirror (420) and plate (430) combination can also be used for additional functions in a VRD visor apparatus (116) such as the ability to operate in a tracking mode (123) where the eyes (92) of the viewer (96) are tracked and the ability to operate in in augmentation mode (122) where the viewer (96) can see the displayed image (880) overlaying a view of their physical environment (650).

  • Publication number: 20150331246
    Abstract: An apparatus (110), system (100), and method (900) for displaying an image (880). Instead of using an expensive configuration of prisms (310) such as TIR prisms (311) or RTIR prisms (312) to direct light (800) to and from a DMD (324), a plate (340) with transmissive (374), reflective (372), and/or polarization (373) characteristics is used. The plate (340) can be implemented in a wide variety of different embodiments using a wide variety of different components and configurations.
