Abstract
Embodiments are disclosed for display configurations for providing an augmented reality heads up display. In one example, a method of operating a display system includes adjusting an output of image light from a display to pass through an optical element positioned between the display and at least one micro lens array, including impinging light upon a transparent plane to generate a three-dimensional image on a continuous plane that is based on a user focal point determined by an eye-tracking module.
Claims20
A method of operating a display system, the method comprising:
- adjusting an output of image light from a display to pass through an optical element positioned between the display and at least one micro lens array, including impinging light upon a transparent plane to generate a three-dimensional image on a continuous plane that is based on a user focal point and/or origin position of an eye gaze determined by an eye-tracking module.
A display system for providing a three-dimensional augmented reality experience, the display system comprising:
- a display;
- at least one micro lens array;
- an optical element positioned between the display and the at least one micro lens array;
- an eye-tracking module configured to receive eye-tracking data from an eye-tracking sensor indicating a user focal point;
- and
- a display controller comprising a processor and memory, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor to control an output of image light from the display to pass through the optical element and the at least one micro lens array and impinge upon a transparent plane to generate a three-dimensional image on a continuous plane that is based on the user focal point.
A display system for a vehicle, the display system comprising:
- a display;
- at least one micro lens array;
- an optical element positioned between the display and the at least one micro lens array;
- an eye-tracking module configured to receive eye-tracking data from an eye-tracking sensor indicating a user focal point;
- an occupant monitoring module configured to receive occupant monitoring data from one or more occupant monitoring sensors;
- and
- a display controller comprising a processor and memory, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor to control an output of image light from the display to pass through the optical element and the at least one micro lens array and impinge upon a windshield of the vehicle to generate a heads-up display image for the vehicle, the heads-up display image including a three-dimensional image positioned at a selected depth on a continuous plane that is created at the user focal point, the selected depth being selected based on the eye-tracking data and/or the occupant monitoring data.
