AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

Enables comfortable, versatile use of VR and AR by reducing weight and complexity, allowing users to perform other tasks while wearing the device, with improved impact performance and lower production costs.

Problems solved by technology

No matter how a goggle is designed, it appears bulky and heavy, and causes inconvenience when worn on a user.
Further most of the goggles cannot be seen through.
In other words, when a user wears a goggle, he or she would not be able to see or do anything else.
With the weight, a wearer won't feel comfortable when wearing it for a period.
Indeed, what is available in the market is generally heavy and bulky in comparison to normal glasses.

Embodiment Construction

[0040]The detailed description of the invention is presented largely in terms of procedures, steps, logic blocks, processing, and other symbolic representations that directly or indirectly resemble the operations of data processing devices coupled to networks. These process descriptions and representations are typically used by those skilled in the art to most effectively convey the substance of their work to others skilled in the art.

[0041]Reference herein to “one embodiment” or “an embodiment” means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment can be included in at least one embodiment of the invention. The appearances of the phrase “in one embodiment” in various places in the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment, nor are separate or alternative embodiments mutually exclusive of other embodiments. Further, the order of blocks in process flowcharts or diagrams representing one or more embodimen...

Abstract

Architecture and designs of wearable devices using optical fibers are described. According to one aspect of the present invention, a display device is made in form of a pair of glasses and includes a minimum number of parts to reduce the complexity and weight thereof. A separate enclosure is provided as portable to be affixed or attached to a user (e.g., a pocket or waist belt). The enclosure includes all necessary parts and circuits to generate content for a microdisplay device that in return produces optical images. The optical images are picked up and transported by one or more optical fibers in a cable to the glasses, where the optical images are projected respectively to the lenses specially made for displaying the optical images before the eyes of the wearer.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a continuation of co-pending U.S. application Ser. No. 15 / 372,957, filed on Dec. 8, 2016, now U.S. Pat. No. 9,946,075, issued on Apr. 17, 2018.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONField of the Invention[0002]The present invention generally relates to the area of display devices and more particularly relates to architecture and designs of display devices, where a display device is made in form of a pair of glasses, and may be used in various applications including virtual reality and augmented reality.Description of the Related Art[0003]Virtual Reality or VR is generally defined as a realistic and immersive simulation of a three-dimensional environment created using interactive software and hardware, and experienced or controlled by movement of the body. A person using virtual reality equipment is typically able to look around the artificially generated three-dimensional environment, moves around in it and interacts with features...
