Abstract
A head-mountable display device (HMD) can include a frame, a display coupled to the frame, an adjustment mechanism, and a motion transfer member. The display can include a first optical module and a second optical module. The adjustment mechanism can be coupled to the first optical module. The motion transfer member can be coupled to the adjustment mechanism and the second optical module. The motion transfer member can extend between the first optical module and the second optical module. The adjustment mechanism can be configured to simultaneously adjust a position of the first optical module and a position of the second optical module relative to each other.
Claims20
A head-mountable display device, comprising:
- a frame;
- a display coupled to the frame and comprising a first optical module and a second optical module;
- an adjustment mechanism coupled to the first optical module;
- and
- a motion transfer member coupled to the adjustment mechanism and the second optical module, the motion transfer member extending between the first optical module and the second optical module;
- wherein the adjustment mechanism is configured to simultaneously adjust a position of the first optical module and a position of the second optical module relative to each other.
An interpupillary distance adjustment mechanism, comprising:
- a first guide coupled to a first optical module;
- a second guide coupled to a second optical module;
- an adjustment mechanism coupled to the first guide;
- and
- a motion transfer member comprising:
- a first longitudinal end coupled to the adjustment mechanism;
- a second longitudinal end coupled to the second guide;
- and
- an elongate portion extending from the first longitudinal end and the second longitudinal end;
- wherein the adjustment mechanism is configured to adjust a first position of the first guide relative to a second position of the second guide.
A head-mountable display device, comprising:
- a frame;
- a display coupled to the frame, the display comprising a first optical module and a second optical module;
- and
- an interpupillary distance adjustor configured to modify a distance between the first optical module and the second optical module, the interpupillary distance adjustment mechanism comprising:
- a first leadscrew coupled to the first optical module;
- a second leadscrew coupled to the second optical module and disposed at an angle relative to the first leadscrew;
- and
- a center joint connecting the first leadscrew and the second leadscrew;
- wherein a rotation of the first leadscrew causes an adjustment of a distance between the first optical module and the second optical module.
