Patent number: 12041388Abstract: The invention is directed towards a system where a head-mounted display (HMD), or other head mounted computing device, may annotate video data captured by the HMD. When a video is annotated on the computer processor, the data packet associated with that digital marker is encoded as an operation-encoded audio packet and sent over a secure audio link to the HMD. Sending the operation-encoded audio packet over the secure audio link requires the HMD to decode the packet into a data packet which may then be used to annotate a display on the HMD. The user of the HMD may be able to view his own recorded field of view on a display device which may then be annotated using the data in the data packet.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2022Date of Patent: July 16, 2024Assignee: REALWEAR, INC.Inventor: Chris Parkinson

Patent number: 12025807Abstract: A system projects a user-viewable, computer-generated or -fed image, wherein a head-mounted projector is used to project an image onto a retro-reflective surface, so only the viewer can see the image. The projector is connected to a computer that contains software to create virtual 2-D and or 3-D images for viewing by the user. Further, one projector each is mounted on either side of the user's head, and, by choosing for example a retro angle of less than about 10 degrees, each eye can only see the image of one of the projectors at a given distance up to 3 meters, in this example, from the retro-reflective screen. The retro angle used may be reduced with larger viewing distance desired. These projectors use lasers to avoid the need for focusing, and in some cases these projectors use instead of lasers highly collimated LED light sources to avoid the need for focusing.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2018Date of Patent: July 2, 2024Inventors: Gerard Dirk Smits, Dan Kikinis
