Abstract: A display assembly for a pair of augmented-reality glasses is described. The display assembly includes an optical stack and a display projector assembly that is configured to present an augmented-reality experience via a portion of the optical stack at the augmented-reality glasses. The optical stack includes one or more lenses and a first interface material at a perimeter of the optical stack. The first interface material separates the optical stack from directly contacting a frame of the augmented-reality glasses. Additionally, a portion of the display projector assembly is suspended within a second interface material that is less stiff than the first interface material.

Abstract: Devices may include an optical assembly and a frame supporting the optical assembly. The optical assembly may include a first optical element, a second optical element, and a third optical element. The second optical element and the third optical element may form a cavity therebetween. The first optical element may be mounted within the cavity. Various other systems, devices, and methods are also disclosed.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses related to fiducial designs for fiducial markers on glass substrates, or other transparent or translucent substrates, are disclosed. Example fiducial designs can facilitate visual recognition by enhancing edge detection in visual perception. In example fiducial designs, optical features on glass substrates can re-direct light so as to present a bright image region. Such optical features can include surface relief patterns formed in a coating on the surface of glass substrates. An exemplary method for manufacturing the fiducial markers can involve transfers of a fiducial design across a master mold or plate, a submaster mold or plate, and a target glass substrate. A fiducial marker can facilitate the use of the substrate in a variety of applications, including machine vision systems that facilitate automated performance of manufacturing processes on input working material.

Abstract: Methods and systems for qualifying a multi-layered optical stack include providing the multi-layered optical stack including a first optical layer and a second optical layer. The first optical layer includes a first pair of fiducial marks and the second optical layer includes a second pair of fiducial marks Each of the first pair are spaced laterally from each of the second pair such that the first pair and the second pair are visible through the optical stack. A first angle defined between a first reference line connecting the first pair and a global reference line is determined. A second angle defined between a second reference line connecting the second pair and the global reference line is determined. The multi-layered optical stack is qualified for use in the optical projection system based on whether a difference between the first angle and the second angle is less than a predetermined threshold.
