Eye Relief Adjustment Mechanism And Headset Display Device Including Eye Relief Adjustment Mechanism
Publication number: 20240134145Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to an adjustment mechanism for adjusting an eye-to-lens distance of a headset display device. The adjustment mechanism can include an adjustment wheel that is rotatable by a user, a pinion gear fixed to a screw, and a threaded member receiving the screw and mounted to a forehead pad frame supporting a forehead pad. The adjustment wheel can include an internal bevel gear ring. The pinion gear is rotated by rotation of the internal bevel gear ring, and the screw rotates with the pinion gear. The pinion gear and the screw can rotate about a second axis. The threaded member moves along the screw, as the screw rotates, to move the forehead pad to adjust the eye-to-lens distance. The internal bevel gear ring, the pinion gear, and the screw are configured to allow additional components to pass through an interior of the adjustment wheel.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2022Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: Robert Coleman SKELTON, Brett Delainey CHRISTIE -
Patent number: 10901225Abstract: The disclosed systems for positioning head-mounted displays may include a first track along which a display apparatus of a head-mounted display is configured to move in a first direction and a second track along which the display apparatus is configured to move in a second, different direction. A first electromechanical actuator may move the display apparatus along the first track, and a second electromechanical actuator may move the display apparatus along the second track. Various other methods and systems are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2019Date of Patent: January 26, 2021Assignee: Facebook Technologies, LLCInventors: Renzo De Nardi, Kieran Connor Kelly, Brett Delainey Christie

Patent number: 10444955Abstract: Techniques are described herein that are capable of providing selectable interaction elements in a 360-degree video stream. A selectable interaction element is an element (e.g., user interface element) for which selection of the element initiates the providing of information pertaining to an object with which the element is associated. For instance, the selectable interaction element may be positioned proximate the object in the 360-degree video stream (e.g., a portion of the 360-degree video stream or an entirety of the 360-degree video stream). Examples of a user interface element include but are not limited to text, an icon, and a widget.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2017Date of Patent: October 15, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Raymond Walter Riley, Kae-Ling Gurr, Brett Delainey Christie, Joshua D. Maruska, Joshua Noble

Patent number: 10204397Abstract: Techniques are described herein that are capable of providing a bowtie view of an environment. A bowtie view of an environment is a representation of a 360-degree image of the environment that is compressed at its center such that at least one side of the bowtie view is concave. For example, two opposing sides of the bowtie view may be concave. In accordance with this example, the two opposing sides may be top and bottom sides of the bowtie view. The 360-degree image is unwrapped to provide a flattened image. The flattened image is projected on an inner surface of a virtual object in a three-dimensional virtual environment. A portion of the flattened image is captured from the inner surface of the virtual object using a virtual camera to provide the bowtie view.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2016Date of Patent: February 12, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Raymond Walter Riley, Kae-Ling Gurr, Brett Delainey Christie, Joshua D.

Patent number: 9866400Abstract: Techniques are described herein that are capable of performing action(s) based on automatic participant identification. For example, participants of a meeting may be automatically identified independently from an invitee list for the meeting. In another example, participants of the meeting may be automatically identified even if such participants are not indicated by the invitee list. An action is performed with regard to the participants of the meeting based at least in part on the participants being automatically identified.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2016Date of Patent: January 9, 2018Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Raymond Walter Riley, Kae-Ling Gurr, Brett Delainey Christie, Joshua D.

Patent number: 9706171Abstract: Techniques are described herein that are capable of providing a polyptych view that includes three or more designated video streams. A polyptych view is a view that includes multiple discrete sections. Each section includes a respective designated video stream. A designated video stream is a video stream of a participant of a video conference who is identified to be a designated participant in the context of the video conference. For example, a participant of a video conference may become a designated participant by speaking for at least a first threshold duration of time during the video conference and/or having a priority greater than or equal to a priority threshold. In another example, a participant may no longer be deemed a designated participant if the participant does not speak for a second threshold duration of time, speaks less than others, and/or has a priority that is less than others.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2016Date of Patent: July 11, 2017Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Raymond Walter Riley, Kae-Ling Gurr, Brett Delainey Christie, Joshua D.
