  • Publication number: 20240241387
    Abstract: A head-mounted device comprises a main body, a monitor-base, at least one monitor, and a sensor. The main body is mounted on a head. The monitor moves with the monitor-base. The sensor is mounted on the main body or the monitor-base and used for detecting a state of the head. A visual field is defined as a maximum area seen by eyes of the user, and an area of the virtual image is smaller than the visual field. The at least one monitor is movable by moving the monitor-base relative to the main body according to the state of the head, detected by the sensor, to adjust a relative angle of the monitor to the eyes such that a relative position of the virtual image in the visual field is adjusted, to ensure that the user sees the virtual image. An augmented reality device is also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20240118728
    Abstract: A head-mounted device comprises a main body, a monitor-base, a monitor, and an adjusting component. The main body is mounted on a user's head. The monitor moves with the monitor-base. An eyes-monitor distance is defined between the user's eyes and the monitor. A visual range is defined by a range seen by the user's eyes through the monitor. The adjusting component is configured for pulling or pushing the monitor-base towards the user's eyes to prevent the eyes-monitor distance from increasing and to prevent the visual range from decreasing. When the user wears a pair of glasses between the user's eyes and the monitor, and the glasses block the monitor causing the eyes-monitor distance to be larger than a preset distance, the adjusting component pulls or pushes the monitor-base until the monitor contacts the glasses, to prevent the eyes-monitor distance from increasing. An augmented reality device is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11136778
    Abstract: An adaptive self-centering device (ASCD) which uses one or more ratchet-pawl mechanisms. The hysteretic slip force of the ASCD preferably comes from a friction mechanism. The self-centering originates from the ratcheting of the pawl over the ratchet wheel and a self-centering device, in response to a force from an apparatus such as a spring. The nonlinear hardening of the apparatus, which conforms to the favorable adaptive behavior sought in modern day passive devices, stems from the mechanism of the lever within the apparatus that transforms the linear motion into rotatory motion.
