  • Patent number: 11778160
    Abstract: Examples are disclosed that relate to calibration data related to a determined alignment of sensors on a wearable display device. One example provides a wearable display device comprising a frame, a first sensor and a second sensor, one or more displays, a logic system, and a storage system. The storage system comprises calibration data related to a determined alignment of the sensors with the frame in a bent configuration and instructions executable by the logic system. The instructions are executable to obtain a first sensor data and a second sensor data respectfully from the first and second sensors, determine a distance from the wearable display device to a feature based at least upon the first and second sensor data using the calibration data, obtain a stereo image to display based upon the distance from the wearable display device to the feature, and output the stereo image via the displays.

  • Publication number: 20230041202
    Abstract: A device including a frame and an eyepiece is provided. The eyepiece includes a front glass, a rear glass, and an active element sandwiched between the front glass and the rear glass. The active layer is electrically activated, via an interconnect, by a flex circuit enclosed between a top portion of the frame and a cap, the flex circuit including a memory and a processor. A method for assembling the above device is also provided.

  • Patent number: 10921602
    Abstract: A head-mounted device (HMD) whose circumference is dynamically adjustable to conform to different head sizes and shapes is disclosed herein. The HMD includes a front-end and back-end housing. The front-end housing includes a first compute unit, and the back-end housing includes a second compute unit. The HMD also includes two adjustable flex fit arms that connect the front-end housing to the back-end housing. The HMD has an enclosed rounded boundary that is placeable around a user's head. The HMD also includes a nested flexible cable ribbon, which is nested within a cavity of one of the arms and which includes both a static bend and a dynamic bend. The bend radius for the dynamic bend is larger than the bend radius of the static bend. The dynamic bend enables the nested flexible cable ribbon to expand or contract when the circumference of the enclosed rounded boundary changes.
