Abstract
The disclosed system may include a communication device configured to receive wireless synchronization information for display content, a lens, an optical device, and a controller configured to determine that the display content is in a field of view of the lens, and in response to determining that the display content is within the field of view of the lens, cause the lens to selectively allow the display content to pass through the lens based on the wireless synchronization information. Various other related methods and systems are also disclosed.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a communication device configured to receive wireless synchronization information for display content;
- a first lens through which a first user can view the display content;
- a second lens through which a second user can view the display content;
- an optical device;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- determine, based on an output of the optical device, that the display content is within a field of view of the first lens and the second lens;
- in response to determining that the display content is within the field of view of the first lens and the second lens, cause the first lens and second lens to selectively allow the display content to pass through the first lens and second lens based on the wireless synchronization information;
- and
- in response to determining that the display content is within the field of view of the first lens and the second lens, increasing a frame rate at which the display content is generated to maintain image quality for both the first user and the second user.
A method comprising:
- capturing, via an optical device, a scene within a field of view of a lens;
- analyzing, by a controller, the scene to determine that display content of a display device is within the field of view of the lens;
- receiving, by a communication device, wireless synchronization information for the display content;
- selectively allowing, in response to determining that the display content is within the field of view of the lens, the display content to pass through the lens based on the wireless synchronization information;
- displaying additional content with an internal display of the optical device;
- and
- coordinating the additional content from the internal display with the display content from the display device.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer-readable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing device, cause the computing device to:
- capture, via an optical device, a scene within a field of view of a lens;
- analyze, by a controller, the scene to determine that display content of a display device is within the field of view of the lens;
- receive, by a communication device, wireless synchronization information for display content;
- selectively allow, in response to determining that the display content is within the field of view of the lens, the display content to pass through the lens based on the wireless synchronization information;
- display additional content with an internal display of the optical device;
- and
- coordinate the additional content from the internal display with the display content from the display device.
