Abstract
A head-mounted display device includes a controller configured to activate a display of a head-mounted display device. The head-mounted display device includes an eye-side lens and a world-side lens. The controller may activate the eye-side lens and the world-side lens to display virtual content at a first virtual depth. The controller may deactivate the eye-side lens and the world-side lens to display the virtual content at a second virtual depth, where the second virtual depth is greater than the first virtual depth.
Claims17
A method comprising:
- activating a display of a head-mounted display device, the head-mounted display device including an eye-side lens and a world-side lens;
- activating the eye-side lens and the world-side lens to display virtual content at a first virtual depth;
- and
- deactivating the eye-side lens and the world-side lens to display the virtual content at a second virtual depth, the second virtual depth being greater than the first virtual depth, wherein the deactivation corresponds to a state in which no power is applied to the eye-side lens and the world-side lens.
A head-mounted display device comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing executable instructions that cause the at least one processor to execute:
- activate a display of a head-mounted display device, the head-mounted display device including an eye-side lens and a world-side lens;
- activate the eye-side lens and the world-side lens to display virtual content at a first virtual depth;
- and deactivate the eye-side lens and the world-side lens to display the virtual content at a second virtual depth, the second virtual depth being greater than the first virtual depth, wherein the deactivation corresponds to a state in which no power is applied to the eye-side lens and the world-side lens.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing executable instructions that when executed by at least one processor cause the at least one processor to execute operations, the operations comprising:
- activating a display of a head-mounted display device, the head-mounted display device including an eye-side lens and a world-side lens;
- activating the eye-side lens and the world-side lens to display virtual content at a first virtual depth;
- and deactivating the eye-side lens and the world-side lens to display the virtual content at a second virtual depth, the second virtual depth being greater than the first virtual depth, wherein the deactivation corresponds to a state in which no voltage is applied to the eye-side lens and the world-side lens.
