Abstract
Disclosed herein are optical structures for augmented reality eyewear with a dynamic waveguide, wherein the dynamic waveguide has an array of individually-movable reflective components or an array of adjustable-reflectivity components. These optical structures enable a person to see a bright, opaque virtual object in a portion of their field of view and also see their environment clearly in the rest of their field of view.
Claims20
Augmented reality eyewear comprising:
- an eyewear frame which is configured to be worn by a person;
- a transparent optical structure which is configured to be held in front of one of the person's eyes by the frame;
- a plurality of light displays located around at least a portion of the circumference of the transparent optical structure;
- and
- a plurality of waveguides which transmit light rays from the light displays to locations on the transparent optical structure, wherein the light rays exit the transparent optical structure from the locations toward the person's eye.

An optical structure for augmented reality eyewear comprising:
- an optical structure which is configured to be worn in front of a person's eye;
- a light display;
- an array of individually-movable reflective components in the optical structure;
- and
- a plurality of electroconductive pathways;
- wherein the optical structure has a first configuration in which a first subset of reflective components has a first orientation which reflects light from the display toward the person's eye and other reflective components have one or more second orientations which do not reflect light from the display toward the person's eye, wherein the optical structure has a second configuration in which a second subset of reflective components has a first orientation which reflects light from the display toward the person's eye and other reflective components have one or more second orientations which do not reflect light from the display toward the person's eye, and wherein the optical structure is changed from the first configuration to the second configuration, or vice versa, by transmission of electrical energy through the electroconductive pathways.

An optical structure for augmented reality eyewear comprising:
- an optical structure which is configured to be worn in front of a person's eye;
- a light display;
- an array of individual adjustably-reflective components in the optical structure;
- and
- a plurality of electroconductive pathways;
- wherein the optical structure has a first configuration in which a first subset of adjustable-reflectivity components has a first level of reflectivity and reflects light from the display toward the person's eye, while other adjustable-reflectivity components have a second level of reflectivity, wherein the second level is less than the first level;
- wherein the optical structure has a second configuration in which a second subset of adjustable-reflectivity components has the first level of reflectivity and reflects light from the display toward the person's eye, while other adjustably-reflective components have the second level of reflectivity;
- and wherein the optical structure is changed from the first configuration to the second configuration, or vice versa, by transmission of electrical energy through the electroconductive pathways.
