  • Handling different input signals
    Patent number: 10095032
    Abstract: A head mountable display (HMD) system in which the size and/or distance from the viewer of a virtual screen for display of video material depends upon one or more of the following: whether the video material is in a 2-D or a 3-D format; the image resolution of the video material; the compression quality and/or data rate of the video material; the aspect ratio of the video material; the origin of the video material; and metadata associated with the video material.

  • Head-mountable apparatus and system
    Patent number: 10078366
    Abstract: A head mountable display (HMD) is provided that has a head motion detection function and one or more operations that depend upon detected head motion. Detected head motion is stored as motion data in memory. The way in which detected head motion is applied to a current operation depends upon the stored motion data. In one embodiment, the HMD includes a gaze detector configured to detect eye orientation of a user of the user so as to detect image regions at which the user is looking, and a detector configured to detect item data indicative of items represented by the detected image regions.

  • Display
    Patent number: 10054796
    Abstract: A display method is provided using a display that is operable to display an image to a viewer. The display method includes detecting one or both of an initial position and/or orientation of the viewer's head, and generating an image for display according to the detected position and/or orientation. A current position and/or orientation of the viewer's head are detected at a time at which the image is to be displayed. The method also includes re-projecting the generated image according to any differences between the initial position and/or orientation and the current position and/or orientation of the viewer's head, and displaying the re-projected image using the display.

  • LOAD TRANSFER MECHANISM
    Publication number: 20180050868
    Abstract: There is proposed a mechanism for transferring loads characterized by a frame adapted to be mounted on a lift mechanism of a lift truck, a pair of telescopic rails mounted at one end to the frame, the telescopic rails extending parallel to one another, the telescopic rails) being extendable laterally of the lift mechanism of the lift truck, between retracted and extended positions, means to move the telescopic rails, a carriage mounted on the telescopic rails for movement there along when the telescopic rails are in their extended positions and the free ends of the telescopic rails are supported, the carriage having a secondary lift mechanism mounted thereon by which a load may be raised and lowered relative to the carriage.

  • Image processing
    Patent number: 9852549
    Abstract: An image processing method includes capturing an image of the head of a user of a head mountable display device. The position of the head mountable display device is detected in the image captured by a camera. A region of the user's face that is occluded by the head mountable display device is identified. The portion of the captured image corresponding to the head mountable display device is at least partially replaced with a corresponding portion of a 3D facial model, to provide a modified version of the captured image.

  • ADHESIVE APPLICATOR
    Publication number: 20170354406
    Abstract: An adhesive applicator (1) comprises a receiver (3) having a tubular body with a closed first end (13) and an opposed second end (15), the tubular body having a deformable wall (11), an adhesive composition contained within the tubular body, and an applicator tip (5) mounted on the tubular body and comprising a foam material (7) having an applicator (7a-7c) external of the applicator (1) for applying said adhesive, the applicator being such that deformation of the tubular body causes the adhesive to be expressed through the applicator tip (5), The foam material is a reticulated foam felt (7) and allows for relatively constant flow of the adhesive through the foam felt and to the applicator surface thereof over a wide range of viscosity conditions of the adhesive and pressure applied to the deformable body of the applicator (1).
