  • Patent number: 11971246
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for sizing and fitting a head mounted wearable computing device for a user based on image data of the head of the user, including a known reference device having a known scale. The system and method may include capturing image data including a face of the user to be fitted for the head mounted wearable computing device. The known reference device having the known scale is compared to features detected in the image data to determine a scaling factor. The scaling factor is used to size, or assign measures to facial features detected in the image data. A three-dimensional model of the head of the user may be generated from the captured image data.

  • Publication number: 20230410344
    Abstract: A system and method of detecting scale from image data obtained by a computing device together with position and orientation of the computing device is provided. The scale may be used for the virtual selection and/or fitting of a wearable device such as a head mounted wearable device and other such wearable devices. The system and method may include capturing a series of frames of image data, and detecting one or more fixed features in the series of frames of image data. Position and orientation data associated with the capture of the image data is combined with the position data related to the one or more fixed features to set a scale that is applicable to the image data. Scale may be determined without the use of a reference object having known scale, specialized equipment, and the like.

  • Publication number: 20230410355
    Abstract: A system and method of predicting the fitting of a head mounted wearable device for a user is provided. The system detects fixed facial landmarks in image data captured by a computing device of the user. Measurements associated with the detected fixed facial landmarks may be processed by one or more machine learning models and associated algorithm(s) to predict the probability of fitting of a head mounted wearable device on the head of the user.

  • Publication number: 20230252745
    Abstract: Systems and methods for validation of modeling and simulation systems that provide for the virtual try-on of wearable devices, such as glasses, by a user, and for the virtual fitting of selected wearable devices for the user. Wearable fit measurements, display fit measurements, ophthalmic fit measurements and other such measurements associated with the fit and function of the wearable device may be detected from image data capturing the wearable device worn by the user. The detected measurements may be compared to corresponding measurements detected in a virtual simulation of the wearable device worn by the user. The comparison may provide for validation and increased accuracy/realism of the modeling and simulation systems.

  • Publication number: 20230252655
    Abstract: Systems and methods for validation of modeling and simulation systems that provide for the virtual fitting of wearable devices, such as glasses, by a user. Three-dimensional modeling and simulation of test subject both with and without fitting frames corresponding to a wearable device may be captured to validate the modeling and simulation modules and associated algorithms and machine learning modules used to simulate the fit of the wearable device on a user. Validation in this manner may provide for increased accuracy/realism of the modeling and simulation systems.

  • Publication number: 20230252721
    Abstract: A method includes receiving a face image and lens measurements of a person, and selecting a three dimensional (3-D) model of a frame of a pair of smart glasses from a plurality of 3-D models of frames for placement on the face image of the person. The pair of smart glasses includes a virtual display embedded in, or overlaid on a lens. The method further includes sizing the selected 3-D model of the frame of the pair of smart glasses for placement on the face image of person based on the lens measurements of the person, and determining a gazability of the virtual display in the 3-D model of the pair of smart glasses placed on the face image of the person.

  • Publication number: 20230046950
    Abstract: A system and method of detecting display fit measurements and/or ophthalmic measurements for a head mounted wearable computing device including a display device is provided. An image of a fitting frame worn by a user of the computing device is captured by the user, through an application running on the computing device. One or more keypoints and/or features and/or landmarks are detected in the image including the fitting frame. A three-dimensional pose of the fitting frame is determined based on the detected keypoints and/or features and/or landmarks, and configuration information associated with the fitting frame. The display device of the head mounted wearable computing device can then be configured based on the three-dimensional pose of the fitting frame as captured in the image.

  • Publication number: 20220343534
    Abstract: A system and method of detecting display fit measurements and/or ophthalmic measurements for a head mounted wearable computing device including a display device is provided. An image of a fitting frame worn by a user of the computing device is captured by the user, through an application running on the computing device. One or more visual markers each including a distinct pattern are detected in the image including the fitting frame. A model of the fitting frame, and configuration information associated with the fitting frame, are determined based on the detection of the pattern. A three-dimensional pose of the fitting frame is determined based on the detected visual marker(s) and patterns, and the configuration information associated with the fitting frame. The display device of the head mounted wearable computing device can then be configured based on the three-dimensional pose of the fitting frame as captured in the image.
