Abstract

Configurations are disclosed for presenting virtual reality and augmented reality experiences to users. The system may comprise an image-generating source to provide one or more frames of image data in a time-sequential manner, a light modulator configured to transmit light associated with the one or more frames of image data, a substrate to direct image information to a user's eye, wherein the substrate houses a plurality of reflectors, a first reflector of the plurality of reflectors to reflect transmitted light associated with a first frame of image data at a first angle to the user's eye, and a second reflector to reflect transmitted light associated with a second frame of the image data at a second angle to the user's eye.

Claims (13)

1 . A system comprising;

an accommodation tracking module to determine an accommodation of a user's eyes;

a fiber scanning display to scan a plurality of light beams associated with one or more frames of image data, wherein a light beam of the plurality of light beams is movable;

a blur software to render a simulated dioptric blur in the one or more frames of image data based at least in part on the determined accommodation of the user's eyes.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the fiber scanning display modifies a diameter of the plurality of light beams such that the plurality of light beams is always perceived to be in focus by the user.

3 . The system of claim 2 , wherein the diameter of light beams is no greater than 2 mm.

4 . The system of claim 2 , wherein the diameter of light beams is no greater than 0.5 mm.

5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein a scanned light beam is duplicated to create a plurality of exit pupils.

6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the scanned light beam is duplicated to create a larger eye box.

7 . The system of claim 5 , wherein the exit pupils are switchable based at least in part on an eye position, such that the user's eyes receives a subset of the exit pupils.

8 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more frames of image data are scanned in a time-sequential manner.

9 . The system of claim 5 , wherein the plurality of light beams appear to be in focus when perceived by the user.

10 . The system of claim 1 , wherein a pitch of the plurality of exit pupils is altered to control how the light beams hit a pupil of the user's eyes.
