Abstract
An apparatus and system that uses lenses in front of a display screen to correct the vision of a user in near-eye display devices. The lenses replace the fixed lenses of typical near-eye display devices. The lenses have a wide range of adjustability such that users that require corrective eyeglass lenses or contacts can bring the displayed image into proper focus. This allows a user to experience near-eye display devices without the need for additional corrective lenses.
Claims20
An apparatus, comprising:
- a processor;
- a voltage source operatively coupled to the processor;
- and
- at least two optic lenses operatively coupled to the voltage source, wherein each of the at least two optic lenses comprise voltage sensitive material;
- wherein the voltage source is controlled by the processor to provide voltage to at least one of the at least two optic lenses causing a change in focal length of the at least one of the at least two optic lenses, wherein the change in focal length causes a change in diopter of at least one optic lens, thereby permitting a user to view a system without corrective lenses.
2 more elements
A virtual reality system, comprising:
- a processor;
- a voltage source operatively coupled to the processor;
- at least two optic lenses operatively coupled to the voltage source, wherein each of the at least two optic lenses comprise voltage sensitive material;
- wherein the voltage source is controlled by the processor to provide voltage to at least one of the at least two optic lenses causing a change in focal length of the at least one of the at least two optic lenses, wherein the change in focal length causes a change in diopter of at least one optic lens, thereby permitting a user to view a system without corrective lenses;
- a holder for the at least two optic lenses;
- and
- a display operatively coupled to a processor, wherein the display is located behind the at least two optic lenses with respect to a user.
4 more elements
A pair of eyeglasses, comprising:
- an eyeglass frame;
- a processor operatively coupled frame;
- a voltage source operatively coupled to the processor;
- and
- at least two optic lenses located within the eyeglass frame and operatively coupled to the voltage source, wherein each of the at least two optic lenses comprise voltage sensitive material;
- wherein the voltage source is controlled by the processor to provide voltage to at least one of the at least two optic lenses causing a change in focal length of the at least one of the at least two optic lenses, wherein the change in focal length causes a change in diopter of at least one optic lens, thereby permitting a user to view a system without corrective lenses.
