Publication number: 20240068867Abstract: Wearable spectroscopy systems and methods for identifying one or more characteristics of a target object are described. Spectroscopy systems may include a light source configured to emit light in an irradiated field of view and an electromagnetic radiation detector configured to receive reflected light from a target object irradiated by the light source. One or more processors of the systems may identify a characteristic of the target object based on a determined level of light absorption by the target object. Some systems and methods may include one or more corrections for scattered and/or ambient light such as applying an ambient light correction, passing the reflected light through an anti-scatter grid, or using a time-dependent variation in the emitted light.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 9, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Adrian Kaehler, Christopher M. Harrises, Eric Baerenrodt, Mark Baerenrodt, Natasja U. Robaina, Nicole Elizabeth Samec, Tammy Sherri Powers, Ivan Li Chuen Yeoh, Adam Carl Wright

Patent number: 11754844Abstract: In some embodiments, a system comprises a head-mounted frame removably coupleable to the user's head; one or more light sources coupled to the head-mounted frame and configured to emit light with at least two different wavelengths toward a target object in an irradiation field of view of the light sources; one or more electromagnetic radiation detectors coupled to the head-mounted member and configured to receive light reflected after encountering the target object; and a controller operatively coupled to the one or more light sources and detectors and configured to determine and display an output indicating the identity or property of the target object as determined by the light properties measured by the detectors in relation to the light properties emitted by the light sources.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2022Date of Patent: September 12, 2023Assignee: MAGIC LEAP, INC.Inventors: Nicole Elizabeth Samec, Nastasja U.
