Patent number: 11861062Abstract: A calibration platform may display, via an optical see-through head-mounted display (OST-HMD), a virtual image having at least one feature. The calibration platform may determine, based on information relating to a gaze of a user wearing the OST-HMD, that the user performed a voluntary eye blink to indicate that the at least one feature of the virtual image appears to the user to be aligned with at least one point on the three-dimensional real-world object. The calibration platform may record an alignment measurement based on a position of the at least one point on the three-dimensional real-world object in a real-world coordinate system based on a time when the user performed the voluntary eye blink. Accordingly, the alignment measurement may be used to generate a function providing a mapping between three-dimensional points in the real-world coordinate system and corresponding points in a display space of the OST-HMD.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2019Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: The Johns Hopkins UniversityInventors: Ehsan Azimi, Long Qian, Peter Kazanzides, Nassir Navab

Patent number: 11843763Abstract: Provided is a display method that prevents degradation of image quality due to ghosting. The display method performed with a display apparatus includes a viewpoint position detection step (S1) for detecting a viewpoint position d that is an interval between a reflection screen and a viewer ?, a diffusion property control step (S2) for controlling a diffusion property of the reflection screen 40 in accordance with the viewpoint position d, and a projection step for projecting multiple viewpoint video images having disparity from multiple projectors to the reflection screen. The diffusion property control step (S2) includes controlling the diffusion property of the reflection screen 40 by varying a voltage or a duty cycle of an ac signal that is applied to a diffuser layer included in the reflection screen.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2019Date of Patent: December 12, 2023Assignee: Nippon Telegraph and Telephone CorporationInventors: Motohiro Makiguchi, Hideaki Takada
