Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of this utility model relate to augmented reality glasses, and more particularly to augmented reality glasses with mountable functional lenses. Background Technology

[0002] In the known technologies, most Augmented Reality (AR) glasses are not adequately designed for vision correction needs. Specifically, most AR glasses currently on the market have fixed lens structures and do not offer the option to replace them with prescription lenses, or they simply do not consider the needs of users requiring vision correction. This makes it difficult and restrictive for users who need to wear corrective lenses for myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism to use such devices. For these users, if they cannot install prescription lenses, they must wear regular glasses and AR glasses simultaneously, resulting in inconvenience and a poor wearing experience, which may also affect the accuracy and visual effect of the AR images.

[0003] In practical use, users who need vision correction typically need to wear their own prescription glasses first, and then place the augmented reality glasses on top of them. However, this stacking method is not ideal structurally or ergonomically. First, wearing two pairs of glasses on top of each other increases the overall weight, which can easily cause discomfort in the bridge of the nose and ears, and even headaches, if worn for a long time. Second, because the two frames cannot fit perfectly together, they are prone to slipping or misalignment, affecting stability and safety. In addition, the spacing and angle deviation between the lenses may negatively affect the visual calibration of the augmented reality image, leading to image distortion or focusing difficulties, thereby reducing the practicality and immersive experience of the augmented reality glasses.

[0004] In conclusion, current augmented reality glasses still have significant shortcomings in terms of prescription lens support. For those who need to wear corrective lenses, they are still unable to provide an ideal user experience and convenience. Further technological improvements and design optimizations are urgently needed to enhance their overall applicability and market acceptance. Utility Model Content

[0069] The augmented reality glasses of this invention have several technical advantages. First, by detachably mounting the functional lenses within the frame, users can select appropriate prescription lenses according to their individual vision needs, avoiding the limitations of traditional augmented reality glasses that cannot support corrective vision, thus improving wearing convenience and accessibility. Compared to the discomfort and inconvenience caused by stacking augmented reality glasses on top of prescription glasses in existing technologies, this invention allows direct replacement of functional lenses within the frame, resulting in a stable structure and preventing frame misalignment or slippage, thereby improving wearing stability and overall user comfort.

[0070] Furthermore, since the functional lenses of this embodiment are correspondingly disposed on the eye-side module surface of the augmented reality display module, they can effectively maintain the optical path and focal length calibration of the augmented reality image, avoiding image distortion or blurring caused by improper lens angle or distance, thereby further improving display quality and immersion. This structure also facilitates the modular design of the overall frame, making subsequent lens maintenance, replacement, or upgrades easier, which is beneficial for mass production and market promotion.
