20120075168 | EYEPIECE WITH UNIFORMLY ILLUMINATED REFLECTIVE DISPLAY - An eyepiece includes a mechanical frame adapted to secure a lens and an image source facility above the lens. The image source facility includes an LED, a planar illumination facility and a reflective display. The planar illumination facility converts a light beam from the LED received on a side of the planar illumination facility into a top emitting planar light source, uniformly illuminates the reflective display, and is substantially transmissive to allow reflected light to pass through towards a beam splitter. The beam splitter is positioned to receive the image light and to reflect a portion onto a mirrored surface. The mirrored surface is positioned and shaped to reflect the image light into an eye of a user of the eyepiece thereby providing an image within a field of view, the mirrored surface further adapted to be partially transmissive within an area of image reflectance. | 03-29-2012 |
20120119978 | LIGHT CONTROL IN HEAD MOUNTED DISPLAYS - A see-through head mounted display apparatus with reduced eyeglow is disclosed. Two images of a scene are combined and presented to a user, the combined image including portions of reflected image light and light from a see-through view of an external environment. The apparatus includes a light control element to block escaping portions of image light and reflected portions of scene light, while allowing incoming scene light to be transmitted from the external environment. The images are produced using a partially reflecting mirror and a light control element. A portion of scene light is transmitted through the partially reflecting mirror and is combined with a portion of image light reflected from the partially reflecting mirror. A light control element is used to block a portion of the image light and a portion of the scene light to reduce eyeglow. | 05-17-2012 |
20120120103 | ALIGNMENT CONTROL IN AN AUGMENTED REALITY HEADPIECE - This patent discloses a method for providing an augmented image in a see-through head mounted display. The method includes capturing an image of a scene containing objects and displaying the image to a viewer. The method also includes capturing one or more additional image(s) of the scene in which the viewer indicates a misalignment between the displayed image and a see-through view of the scene. The captured images are then compared to determine an image adjustment to align corresponding objects in displayed images to the objects in the see-through view of the scene. This method provides augmented image information that is displayed in correspondence to the image adjustments so the viewer sees an augmented image comprised of the augmented image information overlaid and aligned to the see-through view. | 05-17-2012 |
