Abstract
An adjustable frame assembly for augmented reality eyewear. The frame assembly includes a face portion for supporting at least one waveguide that creates an eye box, a support rest for supporting the face portion on a user, and a coupling for adjusting the position of the face portion relative to the support rest. This enables movement of the waveguide eye box relative to the support rest to position the eye box in front of the wearer's eyes.
Claims19
An adjustable waveguide assembly for augmented reality eyewear, the waveguide assembly comprising:
- a frame comprising a first prism and a first projector operable to project light containing an image into the first prism;
- at least one waveguide movably mounted in the frame and adapted to move horizontally with respect to eyes of a wearer, the at least one waveguide comprising a second prism configured to receive light from the first prism in parallel to the at least one waveguide and to reflect the light received from the first prism into the at least one waveguide at a predetermined angle;
- and
- at least one coupling for adjusting a horizontal position of the at least one waveguide relative to the frame, wherein, in response to operation of the at least one coupling, the second prism is movable relative to the first prism while receiving light from the first prism.
