HEADS-UP [11 records]

Record 1 2025-03-27

Subject field(s)

  • Collaboration with WIPO
CONT

Smart eyewear is defined as eyewear incorporating a near-to-eye display. As used herein, near-to-eye display means a display, device, or system, such as a retinal projector, virtual retinal display, visualization element, head-mounted display, heads-up display, or other near-to-eye system, typically worn on the head of a user that generates an image near the eye. In a smart eyewear configuration, a display device is often mounted adjacent to an edge of each of the wearer's eyes and an image is typically displayed in the center of each lens. The location of the displayed image, therefore, forces the wearer to gaze in a direction to view the image generated by the display. Typically positioned near the user's eye, the display is aligned to the central region of the user's field of view to allow review of the displayed information with little or no head movement. This enables the user to view the display while also viewing the area outside the central region and interacting with the surrounding environment. In another embodiment, the displayed image is aligned to a region other than the central region of the user's field of view.

CONT

Near-eye display devices are configured to present images to a user via a display that is positioned close to the user’s eyes. For example, a head-mounted augmented reality display device may be worn on a user’s head to position a near-eye display directly in front of a user’s eyes. A near-eye display may be at least partially see-through to allow a user to view a real-world background in combination with displayed virtual objects. This may allow virtual objects to be displayed such that the virtual objects appear to exist within the real-world environment.

CONT

The technology provides one or more embodiments of a near-eye display (NED) device system. An embodiment of a NED device system comprises a near-eye display device including a near-eye support structure and a near-eye display (NED) supported by the near-eye support structure and having a display field of view. The NED system further comprises an image generation unit supported by the near-eye support structure which outputs image data which is optically coupled to the near-eye display (NED).

OBS

  • Tableau et instruments de bord (Véhicules automobiles)
  • Sécurité (Véhicules automobiles et bicyclettes)
DEF

Dispositif d'aide à la conduite qui affiche les données habituellement fournies par le tableau de bord au niveau du pare-brise et qui permet ainsi au conducteur de les visualiser sans baisser la tête.

CONT

[...] l'affichage tête haute [...] Le principe de fonctionnement [...] repose sur un savant jeu de réflexion de la lumière et d'effets d'angle de projection. Une centaine de micro-diodes colorées, incrustées dans le tableau de bord, projettent une image sur une partie semi-réfléchissante du pare-brise. Cette lumière se voit alors renvoyée en direction du visage du conducteur qui sera le seul à la percevoir. L'image est ainsi aussi bien invisible de l'extérieur que des autres places de la voiture. Le conducteur perçoit une image flottante, en couleur ou monochrome, tout en transparence avec un effet d'éloignement, comme si elle se trouvait à plusieurs mètres du véhicule.

OBS

affichage tête haute : Ce terme est celui qui est le plus couramment employé par les spécialistes de l'automobile. Toutefois, les termes «dispositif de visualisation tête haute» et «collimateur de conduite» semblent plus appropriés pour désigner la notion dont il est question. Le terme «collimateur de conduite» est construit sur le modèle du terme «collimateur de pilotage», utilisé dans le domaine aéronautique.

OBS

affichage tête haute : terme publié au Journal officiel de la République française le 23 décembre 2007.

Recent work on the perspective display allows computer graphics systems to simulate planned spacecraft maneuvers, allowing pilots to visualize the consequences of a variety of orbital changes.... Up to now, spacecraft maneuvers, even close-in rendezvous, have been very formal, requiring elaborate planning. We’re developing a system that lets you conduct orbital change maneuvers on an informal, short-term basis... The perspective display is now in use at Ames in a full-scale research mock-up of a proximity operations control center for the Space Station. The mock-up includes a number of test technologies including a heads-up(through the window) display, voice-actuated controls and an advanced window design.
