  • Patent number: 10261328
    Abstract: An enhanced illumination system is provided. In some configurations, an illumination system comprises one or more illuminators for emitting light. Light steering optical elements direct the light along diverging axes. In some configurations, the camera module assembly can cause an output to be tilted down or tilted up relative to a horizontal plane. In some configurations, the illumination system comprises diffusers positioned to receive light along the diverging axes, each diffuser producing a field of illumination having a predetermined angle. The illumination system can be mounted on a computing device, such as an HMD providing a field of view to a camera, sensor, and/or a user. By the use of the techniques disclosed herein, an illumination system can mitigate optical loss that may be caused by a curved visor positioned between the illumination system and an object in the field of view.

  • Patent number: 10174908
    Abstract: An apparatus and method is characterized by providing an optical transfer function between a predetermined illuminated surface pattern, such as a street light pattern, and a predetermined energy distribution pattern of a light source, such as that from an LED. A lens is formed having a shape defined by the optical transfer function. The optical transfer function is derived by generating an energy distribution pattern using the predetermined energy distribution pattern of the light source. Then the projection of the energy distribution pattern onto the illuminated surface is generated. The projection is then compared to the predetermined illuminated surface pattern to determine if it acceptably matches. The process continues reiteratively until an acceptable match is achieved.
