MEMS Fast Scanner Rotary Platform Curvilinear Scan HMD

The patent applies different rendering resolutions to different regions of the field of view. The central foveal region receives high-resolution rendering while peripheral regions receive lower resolution rendering. This is achieved by mapping scan angles to resolution levels, where the MEMS scanner spends more time or uses higher scan rates in the central region corresponding to foveal vision, thereby optimizing resource consumption while maintaining perceived image quality.

The system renders high-detail image data only for the central foveal region where human vision is most acute, while using lower-detail rendering for peripheral regions. The curvilinear scan pattern generated by the MEMS fast scanner and rotary platform directs higher scan rates and resolution to the central field of view, reducing the total computational load while maintaining perceived image quality.

The patent transforms the traditional rectangular raster scan pattern into a curvilinear scan pattern that follows the natural curvature of human visual perception. The MEMS fast scanner combined with a rotary platform generates scan paths that concentrate resolution and detail in the central foveal region and gradually reduce toward the periphery, matching the human eye's acuity distribution. This curvilinear mapping optimizes the use of rendering resources while maintaining comprehensive field of view coverage.
