Patent number: 11158129Abstract: An augmented reality display system can include a partially transparent eyepiece, an ambient light sensor, and an image input device. The image input device can include a light source and a spatial light modulator. The system can also include a controller that determines that no virtual content is being displayed to the user and compares the ambient light to display light to determine if a light source shutoff criterion is satisfied. The light source shutoff criterion can be indicative of whether shutting off the light source that illuminates the spatial light modulator will result in a change in the display light that will be user-perceptible. If the light source shutoff criterion is satisfied, the controller can turn off the light source.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2019Date of Patent: October 26, 2021Assignee: Magic Leap, Inc.Inventors: Arno Leon Konings, Mihailo Slobodan Zivkovic, Jose Felix Rodriguez, Ricardo Martinez Perez

Publication number: 20210263309Abstract: Head-mounted display systems with power saving functionality are disclosed. The systems can include a frame configured to be supported on the head of the user. The systems can also include a head-mounted display disposed on the frame, one or more sensors, and processing electronics in communication with the display and the one or more sensors. In some implementations, the processing electronics can be configured to cause the system to reduce power of one or more components in response to at least in part on a determination that the frame is in a certain position (e.g., upside-down or on top of the head of the user). In some implementations, the processing electronics can be configured to cause the system to reduce power of one or more components in response to at least in part on a determination that the frame has been stationary for at least a threshold period of time.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 18, 2019Publication date: August 26, 2021Inventors: Carlos A.

Publication number: 20210156986Abstract: A method of using a first device to locate a second device is disclosed. The first device, while in a first mode, transmits a first signal and receives a second signal comprising a reflection of the first signal by the second device. The first device determines, based on the received second signal, a position of the second device relative to the first device. The first device transitions to a second mode, and while in the second mode, receives a third signal from the second device. The first device determines, based on the third signal, an orientation of the second device relative to the first device. The first device comprises one or more receiving antennas, and the second device comprises one or more transmitting antennas. The third signal corresponds to a transmitting antenna of the second device.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 20, 2020Publication date: May 27, 2021Inventors: Koon Keong SHEE, Jose Felix RODRIGUEZ, Ricardo ARENCIBIA, Aly H.M.

Patent number: 10986270Abstract: A head mounted display system can process images by assessing relative motion between the head mounted display and one or more features in a user's environment. The assessment of relative motion can include determining whether the head mounted display has moved, is moving and/or is expected to move with respect to one or more features in the environment. Additionally or alternatively, the assessment can include determining whether one or more features in the environment have moved, are moving and/or are expected to move relative to the head mounted display. The image processing can further include determining one or more virtual image content locations in the environment that correspond to a location where renderable virtual image content appears to a user when the location appears in the display and comparing the one or more virtual image content locations in the environment with a viewing zone.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2019Date of Patent: April 20, 2021Assignee: Magic Leap, Inc.Inventors: Brian Keith Smith, Carlos A.
