An Augmented Reality apparatus is provided, whereby the apparatus utilizes existing eyewear as an attachment platform, and the apparatus is attachable to and detachable from a plurality of different eyewear having different shapes and sizes, whereby a portion of the apparatus rests on the top of the eyewear, and whereby the apparatus provides fully or mostly unobstructed vision when the wearer is looking straight ahead.
Claims30
A wearable apparatus capable of providing a virtual image comprising a main body, one or more light elements, and one or more optical windows or optical combiners extending down from the main body for producing the virtual image perceived by a wearer, wherein the main body comprises a center and two halves, wherein all or a portion of the main body is capable of being reshaped from a first shape to a second shape by bending one or both of the two halves relative to an outer end and/or the center, wherein the one or more optical windows or optical combiners are capable of being moved clockwise, counterclockwise, along an X, Y, or Z axis, or combinations thereof, wherein the second shape is complementary to a top contour of an eyewear frame on which the wearable apparatus rests and/or is attached, and wherein the wearable apparatus is capable of bending to conform to a plurality of differently shaped eyewear frames.
A wearable apparatus capable of providing a virtual image, comprising a main body and one or more see-through transparent or semi-transparent near eye displays and one or more micro-lens arrays, wherein the one or more see-through transparent or semi-transparent near eye displays and the one or more micro-lens arrays are distance separated and in optical communication with one another, wherein the one or more see-through transparent or semi-transparent near eye displays and the one or more micro-lens arrays are attached to the main body, wherein the main body is capable of resting on top of, attaching to a top of, and/or attaching to a front of a plurality of differently shaped eyewear frames, wherein all or a portion of the main body is capable of being reshaped from a first shape to a second shape by bending one or both halves relative to an outer end and/or a center, wherein upon the main body being reshaped to the second shape the one or more see-through transparent or semi-transparent near eye displays are capable of being moved upwards and/or downwards relative to an eye or eyes of a wearer, wherein the second shape is complementary to a top contour of an eyewear frame, and wherein the main body is capable of bending to conform to a plurality of the differently shaped eyewear frames.
