Reverse pass-through glasses for augmented reality and virtual reality devices
A device for providing a reverse pass-through view of a user of a headset display to an onlooker includes an eyepiece comprising an optical surface configured to provide an image to a user on a first side of the optical surface. The device also includes a first camera configured to collect an image of a portion of a face of the user reflected from the optical surface in a first field of view, a display adjacent to the optical surface and configured to project forward an image of the face of the user, and a screen configured to receive light from the display and provide the image of the face of the user to an onlooker.
1. A device, comprising:
a near-eye display configured to provide an image to a subject;
an eye imaging system configured to collect an image of the subject; and
a light field display configured to provide an autostereoscopic image of a three-dimensional model of the subject to an onlooker, wherein the autostereoscopic image includes a perspective-corrected view of the subject from multiple viewpoints within a field of view of the light field display.
2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the light field display comprises a pixel array and a multi-lenslet array, wherein the pixel array is configured to provide a segmented view of the subject to the multi-lenslet array, the segmented view including multiple portions of the field of view of the light field display at a selected viewpoint.
3. The device of claim 1 , wherein the eye imaging system comprises two cameras to collect a binocular view of the subject.
4. The device of claim 1 , further comprising one or more processors and a memory storing instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors generates a three-dimensional representation of the subject from the image of the subject.
5. The device of claim 1 , wherein the near-eye display provides the subject a three-dimensional representation of an environment, including the onlooker.
6. The device of claim 1 , wherein the eye imaging system includes an infrared camera that receives the image of the subject in a reflective mode from a dichroic mirror adjacent to the light field display.
7. The device of claim 1 , wherein the light field display comprises a micro lens array having multiple micro lenses arranged in a two-dimensional pattern having a pre-selected pitch to avoid cross-talk between the perspective-corrected view for two viewpoints, for the onlooker.
8. The device of claim 1 , wherein the light field display further comprises an immersed stop adjacent to a micro lens array, the immersed stop including multiple apertures such that each aperture is aligned with a center of each micro lens in the micro lens array.
9. The device of claim 1 , wherein the light field display includes a pixel array split in multiple active segments, wherein each active segment in the pixel array has a dimension corresponding to a diameter of a refractive element in a multi-lenslet array.
10. The device of claim 1 , further comprising one or more processors and a memory storing instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the light field display to split a pixel array into multiple active segments, each active segment configured to provide a portion of the field of view of the light field display at a selected viewpoint for the onlooker.
