  • Publication number: 20240168298
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for superimposing a virtual image on a real-time image. A system for superimposing a virtual image on a real-time image comprises a real-time image module and a virtual image module. The real-time image module comprises a magnification assembly to generate a real-time image of an object at a first location and a first depth, with a predetermined magnification. The virtual image module generates a virtual image by respectively projecting a right light signal to a viewer's right eye and a corresponding left light signal to a viewer's left eye. The right light signal and the corresponding left light signal are perceived by the viewer to display the virtual image at a second location and a second depth. The second depth is related to an angle between the right light signal and the corresponding left light signal projected to the viewer's eyes. The second depth may be approximately the same as the first depth.

  • Publication number: 20230314805
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an optic system for head wearable devices. The optic system comprises a first light emitter for emitting a plurality of first light signals, the first light emitter varies a direction of projection between a first spatial dimension limit and a second spatial dimension limit in a first dimension; a first light redirector; and a second light redirector. A geometry of the first light redirector is configured such that a light signal emitted by the first light emitter in proximity to the first spatial dimension limit has a total optical path length from the first light emitter to the eye of the viewer substantially equal to a total optical path length of another light signal emitted by the first light emitter in proximity to the second spatial dimension limit from the first light emitter to the eye of the viewer.

  • Publication number: 20230201067
    Abstract: A portable system and method for training an alternate retinal location of a viewer's eye with impaired retina and an assistance system for improving vision of such viewer's eye are disclosed. The portable system for training comprises an eye tracking module to provide eye information of the viewer's eye and a virtual image display module to display a virtual image centered at the alternate retinal location on the viewer's impaired retina other than centered at a fovea. The virtual image display module further comprises a first light signal generator to generate multiple first light signals and a first combiner to redirect the multiple first light signals towards the alternate retinal location, when a pupil of the viewer's eye is located approximately at the center of the viewer's eye.

  • Publication number: 20230168513
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for expanding eyebox for a viewer, including (but not limited to) for the near eye display applying retinal projecting technologies from a head wearable device such as smart glasses. This disclosure includes two embodiments. The first embodiment applying a principle of “light-split” comprises an optical duplicator to generate multiple instances of an incident light signal to achieve eyebox expansion for a viewer. The second embodiment applying a principle of “time-split” comprises an optical reflector moving to redirect multiple light signals at a different angle of incidence to achieve eyebox expansion for a viewer.

  • Publication number: 20230049899
    Abstract: A head wearable display system comprising a target object detection module receiving multiple image pixels of a first portion and a second portion of a target object, and the corresponding depths; a first light emitter emitting multiple first-eye light signals to display a first-eye virtual image of the first portion and the second portion of the target object for a viewer; a first light direction modifier for respectively varying a light direction of each of the multiple first-eye light signals emitted from the first light emitter; a first collimator; a first combiner, for redirecting and converging the multiple first-eye light signals towards a first eye of the viewer. The first-eye virtual image of the first portion of the target object in a first field of view has a greater number of the multiple first-eye light signals per degree than that of the first-eye virtual image of the second portion of the target object in a second field of view.

  • Publication number: 20220311992
    Abstract: An object displaying system includes a right light signal generator, a left light signal generator, a right combiner, and a left combiner. The right light signal generator generates right light signals for an object. The right combiner receives and redirects the right light signals towards one retina of a viewer to display multiple right pixels of the object. The left light signal generator generates leftght signals for the object. The left combiner receives and redirects the left light signals towards the other retina of the viewer to display multiple left pixels of the object. A first redirected right light signal and a corresponding first redirected left light signal are perceived by the viewer to display a first virtual binocular pixel of the object with a first depth that is related to a first angle between the first redirected right light signal and the corresponding first redirected left light signal.
