Abstract: A foveated projection system in a wearable device is configured for tracking an eye gaze of a user wearing the wearable device. The foveated projection system may distribute and concentrate pixels only at a portion of a display screen of the wearable device, which is in direct line with a current position of the eye gaze of the user. The portion of the display screen will have a high concentration of pixels in comparison to remaining portions of the display screen, which results in the user viewing information within the portion at a high resolution. As the eyes of the user moves in a different position, all the pixels are seamlessly moved to concentrate at new portions of the display screen, which are now in line with most recent positions of the eye gaze of the user.

Abstract: A frame for mounting a plurality of solar tracking units is provided. The frame comprises a plurality of leg assemblies interconnected by trusses to provide a stable structure that is ballasted by the frame's own weight, rather than relying on external ballast such as concrete blocks. Each leg assembly is provided with a shaft with a mounting end for mounting a solar tracking unit. Each solar tracking unit includes an armature assembly and at least one motor for controlling the orientation and position of a solar panel mounted thereon. Solar tracking assemblies, each comprising the frame and plurality of solar tracking units, can be assembled in an array using connectors spacing the assemblies, thus providing enhanced stability. Each of the assemblies can be provided with a local control unit for controlling each individual solar tracking unit, and a global control unit may be used to control the local control units.

Abstract: A cooling system is provided for a head mounted device for augmented reality applications. The head mounted device has a visor housing having one or more exhaust vents and one or more intake vents, a motherboard disposed within the visor housing, at least one processor mounted to the motherboard and at least one camera mounted to the motherboard. At least a pair of cooling subsystems disposed within the visor housing provide generally balanced horizontal weight to the visor housing. The cooling subsystems are arranged to receive air flow through the intake vents and transfer heat generated by the at least one processor to air exhausted from the exhaust vents.

Abstract: A multi dynamic environment and location based active augmented reality (AR) system is described. Scanning and imaging are performed by an HMD worn by a user in the physical environment. Described herein are systems and methods of imaging an environment with an imaging system, wherein the imaging system takes images of the environment from its field of view, a processor detects or selects a marker in the environment from the images, and the processor determines or tracks the HMD's position and orientation by processing images of the marker.

Abstract: A multi dynamic environment and location based active augmented reality (AR) system is described. The system uses dynamic scanning, inertial measurement, imaging, mapping and rendering to generate an AR for a physical environment. The scanning and imaging are performed from the perspective of a user wearing and HMD in the physical environment.
