Abstract
A head mounted display device that displays three dimensional images from a mobile device, which includes a strap that secures the head mounted display to the head of a viewer, a viewing assembly connected to the strap, that includes a housing, a mobile device holder, connected to the housing, a reflecting surface, connected to the housing, that reflects images displayed by the mobile device; and an eyepiece onto which the reflecting surface reflects the images.
Claims69
A head mounted display device for displaying images from a mobile device, comprising:
- a housing that secures an inserted mobile device, the mobile device comprising a display, and fits on the head of a human viewer;
- and
- an optical assembly, connected to the housing, that reflects images displayed by the mobile device display wherein the optical assembly comprises an eyepiece, connected to the housing, onto which the reflected images focus for display to the viewer.
A head mounted display device for displaying images from a mobile device, comprising:
- a housing that secures an inserted mobile device, and fits on the head of a human viewer;
- an optical assembly, connected to the housing, that reflects images displayed by the mobile device display;
- and
- an eyepiece onto which the reflected images focus for display to the viewer, wherein the eyepiece is secured by a frame, independent of the housing, to the head of the viewer.
A head mounted display device for displaying images from a mobile device, comprising:
- a housing that secures an inserted mobile device, which fits on the head of a human viewer, the mobile device comprising a forward-facing side with a display and a backward-facing side;
- a reflecting surface, connected to the housing, that reflects images displayed by the mobile device display;
- one or more lenses, connected to the housing, that focuses the images reflected by the reflecting surface, and
- an eyepiece, connected to the housing, onto which the images from the one or more lenses focus for display to the viewer.
A head mounted display device for displaying images from a mobile device, comprising:
- a housing that secures an inserted mobile device, which fits on the head of a human viewer, said mobile device comprising a forward-facing side with a display and a backward-facing side;
- a reflecting surface, connected to the housing, that reflects images displayed by the mobile device;
- a lens, connected to the housing, that focuses images reflected by the reflecting surface, and
- an eyepiece, connected to the housing, onto which the images from the lens focus for display to the viewer;
- and
- a remote control, comprising:
- a plurality of controls operable by the viewer, and
- a wireless transceiver for communicating with the inserted mobile device.
A system for integrating a a head mounted display with a mobile device comprising:
- a head mounted display comprising:
- a housing that secures an inserted mobile device, which fits on the head of a human viewer;
- a reflecting surface, connected to the housing, that reflects images displayed by the mobile device display;
- an eyepiece, connected to the housing, onto which the images from the mobile device display to the viewer;
- a remote control for a mobile device comprising:
- a plurality of controls operable by the viewer each control having a state;
- and
- a wireless transceiver for communicating with the inserted mobile device;
- and
- a mobile device with a forward-facing side and backward-facing side comprising:
- a display screen on the forward-facing side;
- a processor;
- and
- a memory in communication with the processor for storing instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the mobile device:
- to receive status updates that specify the state of each of the plurality of controls;
- and
- to provide the status updates to a mobile application that runs in the mobile device.
A device for tracking eye movements, comprising:
- a housing, which fits on the head of a human viewer, which secures a digital camera that captures a sequence of digital images of the eyes of the viewer;
- an eyepiece, connected to the housing, that reflects images of the viewer's eyes;
- and
- a reflecting surface, connected to the housing, that receives the images reflected by the eyepiece and further reflects them into a lens of the digital camera.
A head mounted display, comprising:
- a housing, which fits on the head of a human viewer, which secures a digital device that comprises a camera, said camera comprising a lens, wherein the lens of the camera faces in a direction substantially different than the view of the eyes of the viewer;
- and
- a periscope, attached to the housing, comprising:
- a periscope housing that secures an optical assembly;
- an optical assembly connected to the periscope housing that (i) increases the field of view of the camera, and (ii) substantially the same field of view of the viewer into the lens of the camera.
A head mounted display device for displaying images from a mobile device, comprising:
- a housing that secures an inserted mobile device, said mobile device comprising a display, and fits on the head of a human viewer;
- and
- an optical assembly, connected to the housing, that focuses images displayed by the mobile device display, wherein the optical assembly comprises an eyepiece, connected to the housing, which reflects the focused images towards the eye of the viewer.
