Immersive experiences and seamless interaction between virtual and reality have become one of the key development directions for virtual reality devices.

The second optical system, for example, can collect positional data from components such as controllers and transmit it via a chip to the screen of the first optical system, helping the user determine the position of their hands on the screen. The combination of the virtual immersion provided by the first optical system and the positioning function of the second optical system can overcome the spatial limitations of virtual reality, enabling interaction between the virtual device and the real world. By setting the second optical system to include five lenses, a smaller focal length within a certain effective image plane can be achieved, resulting in a larger field of view, which helps the system more easily capture the position and orientation of the controllers. By controlling the maximum field of view of the first and second optical systems and the inner diameter of the end faces of their barrels closest to the first side and the object side, respectively, to satisfy the condition 1.0 < [tan(FOV / 2)×d0s] / [tan(FOV' / 2)×d0s'] < 2.5, it is possible to effectively block invalid light rays outside the maximum field of view from entering the optical system and generating stray light. Controlling the two optical systems to satisfy this condition can better guarantee the imaging quality of the two optical systems. Attached Figure Description

[0051] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0052] The features, principles and other aspects of this application are described in detail below.
[0053] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The first aspect of this application provides a virtual reality system that may include at least one first optical system and at least one second optical system. The second optical system is used to image real-world objects, such as capturing images of the surrounding environment and the user's body movements. The resulting real image is transmitted to the first optical system via electrical signals. The first optical system projects a virtual reality image onto an image surface disposed on a second side, along with the aforementioned real image. By combining the first and second optical systems, virtual reality fusion of the virtual reality system can be achieved. The first optical system may be configured as a catadioptric optical system, and the number of such systems may be one or more. The second optical system may be configured as a transmissive optical system, and the number of such systems may be one or more. In one example, the virtual reality system may include two symmetrically arranged first optical systems. In another example, the virtual reality system also includes a body, with the first optical system disposed, for example, on the inner side of the body, and the second optical system disposed, for example, on the outer side of the body.
[0054] In an exemplary embodiment, the first optical system may include a first lens barrel and a group of spacers, a first element group, a second element group, a third element group, and a fourth element group housed within the first lens barrel, wherein the first to fourth element groups may be arranged sequentially from the first side to the second side along the first optical axis.
[0055] In an exemplary embodiment, the first element group may include a first lens, a reflective polarizing element, and a first quarter-wave plate. The second element group may include a second lens and a second quarter-wave plate. The third element group may include a third lens. The fourth element group may include a fourth lens.
[0056] In an exemplary embodiment, the spacer element group may include a first spacer element, a second spacer element, and a third spacer element. The first spacer element may be located on the second side of the first lens and at least partially in contact with the second side surface of the first lens; the second spacer element may be located on the second side of the second lens and at least partially in contact with the second side surface of the second lens; and the third spacer element may be located on the second side of the third lens and at least partially in contact with the second side surface of the third lens. Proper use of spacer elements can effectively avoid stray light risks, reduce interference with image quality, and improve assembly stability, thereby enhancing the imaging quality of the optical system.
[0057] In an exemplary embodiment, the first side may be the human eye side, and the second side may be the display screen side. Accordingly, the first side of each optical element may be referred to as the near-human eye side, and the second side may be referred to as the near-screen side.
[0058] In an exemplary embodiment, the first optical system may further include a partially reflective layer, which may be attached, for example, to the second side surface of the first lens. The partially reflective layer has a semi-transmissive and semi-reflective effect on light. By providing a partially reflective layer, for example, on the second side surface of the first lens, and combining it with reflective polarizing elements and quarter-wave plates, light can be refracted multiple times, effectively reducing the overall length of the first optical system.
[0059] In an exemplary embodiment, the first optical system may further include an aperture stop, which may be disposed, for example, between the first side and the first element group. Image light from the second side, such as from a display screen, is ultimately projected onto, for example, the user's eye after multiple refractions and reflections through a fourth lens, a third lens, a second lens, a second quarter-wave plate, a first lens, a first quarter-wave plate, and a reflective polarizing element.
[0060] In an exemplary embodiment, a display screen is disposed on the image surface of the second side of the first optical system. Image light from the display screen sequentially passes through a fourth lens, a third lens, a second lens, a second quarter-wave plate, a first lens, and a first quarter-wave plate, reaching a reflective polarizing element, where it is reflected to form a first reflected image light. The first reflected image light then sequentially passes through the first quarter-wave plate and the first lens, reaching a partial reflective layer, where it is reflected to form a second reflected image light. The second reflected image light then sequentially passes through the first lens, the first quarter-wave plate, and the reflective polarizing element to the aperture stop and is finally projected onto the eye of, for example, a user, located on the first side. In other examples, the order in which the image light, the first reflected image light, and the second reflected image light pass through the various elements can be adjusted as needed. The first optical system provided in this application effectively shortens the overall length of the first optical system by folding the required optical path through a combination of light reflection and refraction without affecting the projection quality.
[0061] In an exemplary embodiment, the second optical system may include a second lens barrel and a group of positioning elements, a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, and a fifth lens housed in the second lens barrel, wherein the first lens, the second lens, the third lens, the fourth lens, and the fifth lens may be arranged sequentially from the object side to the image side along the second optical axis.
[0062] In an exemplary embodiment, the first lens may have negative optical power. The second lens may have negative optical power. The third lens may have positive optical power. The fourth lens may have either positive or negative optical power. The fifth lens may have either positive or negative optical power. In an exemplary embodiment, the fourth and fifth lenses may have optical powers with opposite properties.
[0063] In an exemplary embodiment, the fourth and fifth lenses can be cemented together to form a cemented doublet lens.
[0064] In an exemplary embodiment, the positioning element group may include a first positioning element, a second positioning element, and a third positioning element. The first positioning element may be located on the image side of the first lens and at least partially in contact with the image side of the first lens; the second positioning element may be located on the image side of the second lens and at least partially in contact with the image side of the second lens; and the third positioning element may be located on the image side of the third lens and at least partially in contact with the image side of the third lens. Proper use of positioning elements can effectively avoid stray light risks, reduce interference with image quality, and improve assembly stability, thereby enhancing the imaging quality of the optical system.
[0065] The first optical system in this application transmits a virtual image (e.g., including virtual reality images) located on a second side, such as a display screen, to the eyes of a user located on the first side, providing the consumer with a sense of virtual immersion. The second optical system images real-world objects; for example, it can collect position data from components like a controller and transmit the resulting real image via a chip in the second optical system to the display screen of the first optical system. The first optical system then transmits the real image from the display screen to the user, helping the user determine the position of their hands on the screen. The virtual immersion provided by the first optical system, combined with the positioning function of the second optical system, overcomes the spatial limitations of virtual reality, enabling interaction between the virtual and real worlds. This allows the user to view an image fused from virtual visuals and real-world objects, enhancing the visual immersion of the virtual reality system. By including five lenses in the second optical system, a smaller focal length within a given effective image plane can achieve a larger field of view, facilitating easier capture of the controller's position and orientation.
[0066] In an exemplary embodiment, the maximum field of view (FOV) of the second optical system, the inner diameter d0s of the end face closest to the object side of the second lens barrel, the maximum field of view (FOV') of the first optical system, and the inner diameter d0s' of the end face closest to the first side of the first lens barrel can satisfy: 1.0 < [tan(FOV / 2)×d0s] / [tan(FOV' / 2)×d0s'] < 2.5. By controlling this condition, invalid light rays outside the maximum field of view can be effectively blocked from entering the optical system and generating stray light. Controlling both optical systems to satisfy this condition can better guarantee the imaging quality of both optical systems.
[0067] The virtual reality system according to an exemplary embodiment of this application can be configured as a combination of a first optical system and a second optical system. The first optical system, for example, can be located within the screen and is responsible for transmitting the image from the screen to the user's eyes, providing a sense of virtual immersion. The second optical system, for example, can collect positional data from the controllers, etc., and transmit this data via a chip to the screen of the first optical system, helping the user determine the position of their hands on the screen. The virtual immersion provided by the first optical system, combined with the positioning function of the second optical system, can overcome the spatial limitations of virtual reality, enabling interaction between the virtual device and the real world. By including five lenses in the second optical system, a smaller focal length within a certain effective image plane can be achieved, resulting in a larger field of view, which helps the system more easily capture the position and orientation of the controllers. By controlling the maximum field of view of the first and second optical systems and the inner diameter of the end faces of their barrels closest to the first side and the object side, respectively, to satisfy the condition 1.0 < [tan(FOV / 2)×d0s] / [tan(FOV' / 2)×d0s'] < 2.5, it is possible to effectively block invalid light rays outside the maximum field of view from entering the optical system and generating stray light. Controlling the two optical systems to satisfy this condition can better guarantee the imaging quality of the two optical systems.
[0068] In an exemplary embodiment, the inner diameters d0s' of the end face closest to the first side of the first lens barrel, d0m' of the end face closest to the second side of the first lens barrel, and d0s and d0m of the end face closest to the object side of the second lens barrel can satisfy: 1.0 < (d0s' - d0m') / (d0s - d0m) < 4.0. By controlling this conditional expression, the sizes of the first and second optical systems can be controlled, thereby more rationally allocating the image transmitted from the chip of the second optical system to the screen of the first optical system. Controlling the above ratio is beneficial for image conversion between the two optical systems. More specifically, d0s', d0m', d0s, and d0m can further satisfy 2.0 < (d0s' - d0m') / (d0s - d0m) < 3.0.
