Abstract:
Embodiments are disclosed for a see-through head-mounted display system. In one embodiment, the see-through head-mounted display system comprises a freeform prism (316), an illumination prism (308), and a display device (306) configured to emit display light through the freeform prism and the illumination prism to an eye (302) of a user. The see-through head-mounted display system also comprises an imaging device (330), the imaging device configured to receive gaze-detection light reflected from the eye and directed through the freeform prism and the illumination prism.
Abstract:
A binocular display includes a waveguide. A convex spherical mount has a fixed position relative to the waveguide. A light engine includes a concave spherical mount that adjustably mates with the convex spherical mount.
Abstract:
Various embodiments are disclosed herein that relate to coupling light into waveguides in a near-eye display device in a manner configured to be tolerant to misalignment of the waveguides with each other and/or other optics. For example, one disclosed embodiment provides a near-eye display device comprising one or more waveguides, wherein each waveguide comprises a light input coupling configured to receive light at a first side of the waveguide to couple the light into the waveguide, and a light output coupling configured to emit light from the waveguide at a second side of the waveguide, the second side of the waveguide being opposite the first side of the waveguide.
Abstract:
Embodiments are disclosed for adjusting alignment of a near-eye optic (306) of a see-through head-mounted display system (300). In one embodiment, a method of detecting eye location for a head-mounted display system (300) includes directing positioning light to an eye (302) of a user (304) and detecting the positioning light reflected from the eye (302) of the user (304). The method further includes determining a distance between the eye (302) and a near-eye optic (306) of the head-mounted display system (300) based on attributes of the detected positioning light, and providing feedback for adjusting the distance between the eye (302) and the near-eye optic (306).

In one embodiment, the see-through head-mounted display system comprises a freeform prism (316), and a display device (306) configured to emit display light through the freeform prism to an eye (302) of a user. The see-through head-mounted display system may also comprise an imaging device (330) having an entrance pupil positioned at a back focal plane of the freeform prism, the imaging device configured to receive gaze-detection light reflected from the eye and directed through the freeform prism.
Abstract:
Embodiments are disclosed herein that relate to aligning a near- eye display of a near-eye display device with an eye of a user. For example, one disclosed embodiment provides, on a near-eye display device, a method comprising receiving an image of an eye from a camera (200a) via a reverse display optical path, detecting a location of the eye in the image, and determining a relative position of the eye with regard to a target viewing position of the near-eye display. The method further comprises determining an adjustment to make to the near-eye display device to align the location of the eye with the target viewing position.
Abstract:
Embodiments related near-eye display devices having angularly multiplexed holograms are disclosed. One disclosed embodiment provides a near-eye display device including an image source, a waveguide, and a controller. The waveguide is configured to propagate light received the image source to a user of the near-eye display device, and includes a holographic grating comprising a plurality of angularly multiplexed holograms. The controller is configured to control display of an image via the image source.
