  • Patent number: 11733734
    Abstract: A head mounted display (HMD) includes a set of one or more lenses defining an optical axis, a display configured to project light through the set of the one or more lenses, a voice coil actuator coupled with the display and configured to move the display along the optical axis, and a first guide that is separate from the first voice coil actuator and coupled with the first display to guide the movement of the first display. The HMD additionally includes a set of one or more position sensors configured to determine a position of the display long the optical axis and an electronic controller configured to receive information identifying a reference position of the display along the optical axis and generate one or more electrical signals for initiating a movement of the first display toward the first reference point along the optical axis.

  • Patent number: 11714254
    Abstract: A head-mounted display device includes one or more lenses and a display configured to provide visual data through the one or more lenses. The head-mounted display device also includes a direct-current (DC) motor mechanically coupled to the display, and the DC motor is configured to move the display along an axis by rotating a rotatable component of the DC motor. The head-mounted display device further includes: position sensor(s) configured to determine a position of the display, and electronic controller(s) in communication with the position sensor(s). The electronic controller(s) are configured to: (i) receive, from the position sensor(s), the determined position of the display as a first position of the display, (ii) receive information identifying a second position of the display, and (iii) generate electrical signal(s) that cause the DC motor to move the display from the first position to the second position along the axis.

  • Patent number: 11373108
    Abstract: An agent interfaces with a sending computing device and a receiving computing device to automatically adjust one-way or two-way real-time audio and real-time video transmission parameters responsive to changing network conditions and/or application requirements. The agent incorporates a reinforcement learning model that adjusts transmission parameters to maximize an expected value of a sum of future rewards; the expected value of the sum of future rewards is based on a current state of the sending computing, a current action (e.g. a current set of transmission parameters) at the sending computing device and a reward provided by the receiving computing device. The reward is representative of a user-perceived quality of experience at the receiving computing device.
