  • Publication number: 20200166760
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a system comprises a head-mounted frame removably coupleable to the user's head; one or more light sources coupled to the head-mounted frame and configured to emit light with at least two different wavelengths toward a target object in an irradiation field of view of the light sources; one or more electromagnetic radiation detectors coupled to the head-mounted member and configured to receive light reflected after encountering the target object; and a controller operatively coupled to the one or more light sources and detectors and configured to determine and display an output indicating the identity or property of the target object as determined by the light properties measured by the detectors in relation to the light properties emitted by the light sources.

  • Patent number: 10614630
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a display system comprising a head-mountable, augmented reality display is configured to perform a neurological analysis and to provide a perception aid based on an environmental trigger associated with the neurological condition. Performing the neurological analysis may include determining a reaction to a stimulus by receiving data from the one or more inwardly-directed sensors; and identifying a neurological condition associated with the reaction. In some embodiments, the perception aid may include a reminder, an alert, or virtual content that changes a property, e.g. a color, of a real object. The augmented reality display may be configured to display virtual content by outputting light with variable wavefront divergence, and to provide an accommodation-vergence mismatch of less than 0.5 diopters, including less than 0.25 diopters.

  • Publication number: 20200073143
    Abstract: A wearable ophthalmic device is disclosed. The device may include an outward facing head-mounted light field camera to receive light from a user's surroundings and to generate numerical light field image data. The device may also include a light field processor to generate modified numerical light field image data by computationally introducing an amount of optical power to the numerical light field image data based on a viewing distance from the user to an object. The device may also include a head-mounted light field display to generate a physical light field corresponding to the modified numerical light field image data.

  • Publication number: 20190371028
    Abstract: A display system comprises a wearable display device for displaying augmented reality content. The display device comprises a display area comprising light redirecting features that are configured to direct light to a user. The display area is at least partially transparent and is configured to provide a view of an ambient environment through the display area. The display device is configured to determine that a reflection of the user is within the user's field of view through the display area. After making this determination, augmented reality content is displayed in the display area with the augmented reality content augmenting the user's view of the reflection. In some embodiments, the augmented reality content may overlie on the user's view of the reflection, thereby allowing all or portions of the reflection to appear to be modified to provide a realistic view of the user with various modifications made to their appearance.
