  • Patent number: 11669161
    Abstract: The majority of applications for head mounted display (HMD) users, irrespective of whether they are for short-term, long-term, low vision, augmented reality, etc. yield a conflicting set of tradeoffs between user comfort and minimal fatigue and strain during use, ease of attachment, minimizing intrusiveness and aesthetics which must be concurrently balanced with and are often in conflict with providing an optical vision system that provides the user with a wide field of view and high image resolution whilst also offering a large exit pupil for eye placement with sufficient eye clearance. Further, individual users' needs vary as do their needs with the general task at-hand, visual focus, and various regions-of-interest within their field of view. To address these issues, it is necessary to provide a high performance optical system, eyepiece design, and system features which overcome these limitations.

    Abstract: A computer system can be controlled with non-contact inputs through zonal control. In an embodiment, a non-contact input that is an eye-tracking device is used to track the gaze of a user. A computer's display, and beyond, can be separated into a number of discrete zones according to a configuration. Each zone is associated with a computer function. The zones and/or their functions can, but need not, be indicated to the user. The user can perform the various functions by moving gaze towards the zone associated with that function and providing an activation signal of intent. The activation signal of intent can be a contact-required or non-contact action, such as a button press or dwelling gaze, respectively.

  • Patent number: 11599936
    Abstract: A mixed reality system for displaying virtual holograms using a head mounted display and a tracking device. The HMD has one or more cameras mounted on its exterior connected to a portable computing device. The cameras record what a user's eyes would see in the environment and project the images onto the screen panel display. The cameras also transmit tracking device data to a software application installed on a portable computing device. Light emitting diodes serve as tracking points for the detection algorithm. The tracking device can be configured to transmit data to the portable computing device via optical modulation. Less private radio frequency technologies can be employed such as Bluetooth or WiFi to enable one-way or two-way communication.
