Abstract
A Heads-Up Display (HUD) system for mounting on a pair of glasses comprises a power module for providing electrical power removably mountable to one side of a lens assembly of the glasses, an electronics module connectable to receive electrical power from the power module, the electronics module removably mountable to an opposite side of the lens assembly of the glasses; and a display housing mounted on a display arm extending from the electronics module to a position within a field of vision of a user wearing the glasses. A pair of glasses adapted to receive a HUD system comprises a lens assembly providing one or more electrically conductive paths from a first side thereof to a second side thereof.
Claims39
A Heads-Up Display (HUD) system for a pair of glasses comprising:
- a glasses lens assembly having a first side and a second side opposite the first side;
- a power module mounted to the first side of the glasses lens assembly;
- an electronics module mounted to the second side of the glasses lens assembly;
- a display for displaying images under control of the electronics module, the display adjustably coupled to the electronics module by a display arm, wherein the display arm includes a joint configured to pivot a display inwardly and outwardly relative to the pair of glasses such that the display can be adjusted substantially normal to the a user's line of sight;
- and
- first and second module connectors attached to the first and second sides of the glasses lens assembly, wherein the power module is rapidly removable to the first module connector and the electronics module is rapidly removable to the second module connector;
- wherein the glasses lens assembly has one or more holes on each of the first and second sides thereof, and the first and second module connectors comprise one or more protrusions configured to engage the one or more holes.
A Heads-Up Display (HUD) system for mounting on a pair of glasses, the HUD system comprising:
- a power module for providing electrical power removably mountable to one side of a lens assembly of the glasses;
- and
- an electronics module connectable to receive electrical power from the power module, the electronics module removably mountable to an opposite side of the lens assembly of the glasses;
- and
- a display for displaying images under control of the electronics module, the display adjustably coupled to the electronics module by a display arm, wherein the display arm includes a joint configured to pivot a display inwardly and outwardly relative to the pair of glasses such that the display can be adjusted substantially normal to the a user's line of sight;
- first and second module connectors attached to the first and second sides of the glasses lens assembly, wherein the power module is rapidly removable to the first module connector and the electronics module is rapidly removable to the second module connector;
- wherein the glasses lens assembly has two holes or recesses on each of the first and second sides thereof, and each of the first and second module connectors comprises an outer projection with an inwardly facing tab configured to engage one of the two holes or recesses from the outer face of the glasses lens assembly and an inner projection with an outwardly facing tab configured to engage the other one of the two holes or recesses from the inner face of the glasses lens assembly.
A pair of glasses adapted to receive a Heads-Up Display (HUD) system, the glasses comprising a lens assembly providing one or more electrically conductive paths from a first side thereof to a second side thereof;
- wherein the HUD comprises:
- a power module for providing electrical power removably mountable to one side of a lens assembly of the glasses;
- and
- an electronics module connectable to receive electrical power from the power module, the electronics module removably mountable to an opposite side of the lens assembly of the glasses;
- and
- a display for displaying images under control of the electronics module, the display adjustably coupled to the electronics module by a display arm, wherein the display arm includes a joint configured to pivot a display inwardly and outwardly relative to the pair of glasses such that the display can be adjusted substantially normal to the a user's line of sight;
- first and second module connectors attached to the first and second sides of the glasses lens assembly, wherein the power module is rapidly removable to the first module connector and the electronics module is rapidly removable to the second module connector;
- and
- wherein the glasses lens assembly has one or more holes on each of the first and second sides thereof, and the first and second module connectors comprise one or more protrusions configured to engage the one or more holes.
A Heads-Up Display (HUD) system comprising:
- a pair of glasses;
- an electronics module configured to be attachable to a first side of the pair of glasses;
- and
- a power module configured to be attachable to a second side of the pair of glasses and to provide power to the electronics module;
- a display for displaying images under control of the electronics module, the display adjustably coupled to the electronics module by a display arm, wherein the display arm includes a joint configured to pivot a display inwardly and outwardly relative to the pair of glasses such that the display can be adjusted substantially normal to the a user's line of sight;
- wherein, a combined weight of the electronics module and display housing is approximately equal to a weight of the power module, such that the glasses remain balanced when electronics module and power module are attached to lens assembly.
A Heads-Up Display (HUD) system for mounting on a pair of glasses comprising:
- an electronics module configured to be rapidly removable to a first side of the pair of glasses;
- a power module configured to be rapidly removable to a second side of the pair of glasses and to provide power to the electronics module;
- and
- a display module adjustably coupled to the electronics module by a display arm, wherein the display arm includes a joint configured to pivot a display inwardly and outwardly relative to the pair of glasses such that the display can be adjusted substantially normal to the a user's line of sight.
