Abstract
Systems, devices, and apparatuses for a head-worn augmented reality display are provided. An example head-mounted display device includes a frame, a combiner, and a microdisplay device. The frame may have a structure that is configured to be worn by a user. The combiner may be attached to the frame and may include a curved transparent structure having a reflective surface. The microdisplay device may be attached to the frame and configured to, when the frame is worn by the user, emit image content that crosses in front of the user's face and intersects with the reflective surface of the combiner. Example combiners may have a positive wrap angle.
Claims20
A head-mounted display device, comprising:
- a frame having a structure that is configured to be worn by a user;
- a combiner that is attached to the frame and includes a curved transparent structure having a reflective surface;
- and
- a microdisplay device attached to the frame and configured to, when the frame is worn by the user, emit image content that crosses in front of the user's face and intersects with the reflective surface of the combiner.
An augmented reality head-mounted display device, comprising:
- a frame having a structure that is configured to be worn by a user;
- a combiner that is attached to the frame and has an inner surface and an outer surface, the inner surface being reflective and the outer surface having a positive wrap angle;
- and
- a microdisplay device attached to the frame and configured to, when the frame is worn by the user, emit image content that intersects with the inner surface of the combiner.
A head-mounted display device, comprising:
- a frame having a structure that is configured to be worn by a user, the frame including a left arm configured to rest on the user's left ear and a right arm configured to rest on the user's right ear;
- a combiner that is attached to the frame and includes a curved transparent structure that has an inner surface and an outer surface, the inner surface being reflective;
- a left microdisplay device attached to the frame and configured to emit image content for the user's right eye, the left microdisplay device emitting image content so that the image content crosses in front of the user's face and intersects with the inner surface of the combiner;
- and
- a right microdisplay device attached to the frame and configured to emit image content for the user's left eye, the right microdisplay device emitting image content so that the image content crosses in front of the user's face and intersects with the inner surface of the combiner.
