Abstract
A virtual reality headset incorporating gradient refractive index (GRIN) lenses within the optical blocks thereof. Optical blocks of varying size and position are used. GRIN lenses are fabricated to fit within the optical block and are shaped to possess desired application-specific characteristics such as having one or more diffractive surfaces.
Claims13
A virtual reality (VR) headset containing an optics block configured to magnify the image light including the generated blur spots received from the corrective element, optically correct the magnified image light, and direct the optically corrected image light to an exit pupil of the VR headset corresponding to a location of an eye of a user of the VR headset.
