  • Patent number: 11487080
    Abstract: A head-mounted display device includes a housing, a pair of display modules, a pair of cameras, a driving module and a control system. The housing can cover eyeballs of the user. The cameras are respectively fixed to the display modules to capture images of the eyeballs. The driving module is coupled to the display module to move the display modules relative to the housing. The control system is electrically connected to the of cameras and the driving module. An adjustment method is applicable to the above-mentioned head-mounted display device. An image of the corresponding eyeball is captured by one of the cameras. The control system calculates a deviation between a center of a pupil of the corresponding eyeball and a center of the corresponding image according to the image. The control system controls the driving module to move the display modules relative to the housing according to the deviation.

  • Patent number: 10206059
    Abstract: A positioning system and a positioning method are provided. The positioning system includes a target apparatus, at least one non-optical positioning apparatus, a plurality of optical positioning apparatuses and a host. The non-optical positioning apparatus and the optical positioning apparatuses are disposed in a field. The host determines a rough position of the target apparatus in the field based on a non-optical positioning signal of the non-optical positioning apparatus. The host selects one or more selected optical positioning apparatuses located within a default range of the rough position from the optical positioning apparatuses. The host dynamically enables the selected optical positioning apparatus, and the host dynamically disables the remaining optical positioning apparatus out of the default range among the optical positioning apparatuses.

  • Patent number: 9952652
    Abstract: A virtual reality system is provided. A head mounted display apparatus is coupled to a host device via a transmission cable. A multimedia module receives multimedia content via a first signal path of the transmission cable. A multi-sensing module obtains sensing information regarding the head mounted display apparatus and the user. A power management device controls the power status of the multimedia module, the multi-sensing module, and the peripheral hub according to a power voltage via a third signal path of the transmission cable. The micro control unit detects in which mode the virtual reality system is operating according to the signal status of the first and second signal paths of the transmission cable to notify the power management device to control the power status of the multimedia module, the multi-sensing module, and the peripheral hub.
