Abstract: An immersive headset device is provided that includes a display portion and a body portion. The display portion may include microdisplays having a compact size. The microdisplays may be movable (e.g., rotational) relative to the body portion and can be moved (e.g., rotated) between a flipped-up position and a flipped-down position. In some instances, when the microdisplays are flipped up, the headset provides an augmented reality (AR) mode to a user, and when the microdisplays are flipped down, the headset provide a virtual reality (VR) mode to the user. In certain implementations, the headset includes an electronics source module to provide power and/or signal to the microdisplays. The electronics source module can be attached to a rear of the body portion in order to provide advantageous weight distribution about the head of the user.

Abstract: An image projection system (103) includes an image projector (104) and an image orientation device (106). The image orientation device (106) can be configured to cause a reference line (110) associated with an image (108) to remain aligned in a predetermined orientation on a projection surface (109) regardless of projection system motion. A second image orientation device (206) can be included as well. The second image orientation device (206) can be configured to cause portions of an image (208) to move with projection system motion while a reference line (210) remains stable.

Abstract: In one tiling system described below, a first portable projection device (101) projects a first image (103) on a projection surface (105). A periphery delimiting light source projects a peripheral image demarcation (107), which can be non-visible light, about the first image (103). A second portable projection device (102) projects a second image (104) on the projection surface (105) with a second peripheral image demarcation (106). The first peripheral image demarcation (107) and the second peripheral image demarcation (106) can be uniquely encoded. A control circuit (229) that is operable with the one or more light sources and a light modulator is configured to tile images by altering its image as a function of the peripheral image demarcations.

Abstract: A spatially aware apparatus includes a projector. Projected display contents can change based on the position, motion, or orientation of the apparatus. The apparatus may include gyroscope(s), accelerometer(s), global positioning system (GPS) receiver(s), radio receiver(s), or any other devices or interfaces that detect, or provide information relating to, motion, orientation, or position of the apparatus.
