Abstract

A computing system includes a distance measuring module, for detecting a spatial coordinate of a portion of a hand of a user, wherein the location or orientation of the portion of the hand is used for determining a first input data inputted by a user, a processing unit, generating an output data in based on the first input data; and a head wearable display. The processing unit is configured to compare a current spatial location of the binocular virtual image, which is located at the intersection of the optical path extension of the first collimated light signal and the optical path extension of the second collimated light signal, with the spatial coordinates of the part of the user's hand measured by the distance measuring module, and based on the comparison, to change the binocular virtual image or activate an application program.

Claims (15)

1 . A computing system with a head wearable display, comprising:

a distance measuring module, for detecting a spatial coordinate of a portion of a hand of a user, wherein the location or orientation of the portion of the hand is used for determining a first input data inputted by a user,

a processing unit, generating an output data in based on the first input data; and

a head wearable display configured to be worn by the user, comprising the distance measuring module, for displaying a binocular virtual image related to the output data, wherein the head wearable display comprises a first emitter configured to emit and scan a first collimated light signal, a second emitter configured to emit and scan a second collimated light signal, a first light direction adjuster and a second light direction adjuster for changing directions of the first collimated light signal and the second collimated light signal to redirect the first collimated light signal and the second collimated light signal with a first angle and a second angle relative to the user's frontal surface towards a first eye and a second eye of the user respectively, wherein an optical path extension of the first collimated light signal and an optical path extension of the second collimated light signal intersect at a spatial location to define a location of a virtual binocular pixel of the binocular virtual image, and the first angle and the second angle are changeable continuously to adjust an optical convergence angle of optical paths of the first collimated light signal and the second collimated light signal to modulate a depth of the virtual binocular pixel, to form the binocular virtual image having continuously variable depth perceivable by the user;

wherein the processing unit is configured to compare a current spatial location of the binocular virtual image, which is located at the intersection of the optical path extension of the first collimated light signal and the optical path extension of the second collimated light signal, with the spatial coordinates of the part of the user's hand measured by the distance measuring module, and based on the comparison, to change the binocular virtual image or activate an application program,

whereby when the intersection of the optical path extensions of the first collimated light signal and the second collimated light signal and coordinates of the part of the user's hand are in proximity to each other, the user's hand interacts with the binocular virtual image.

2 . The computing system with a head wearable display according to claim 1 , wherein when the user fixates at the part of the binocular virtual image formed by the first collimated light signal and the second collimated light signal, a depth position of intersection of optical path extensions of the first collimated light signal and the second collimated light signal forming the part of the binocular virtual image is substantially the same as a depth of fixation.

3 . The computing system with a head wearable display according to claim 1 , wherein the visual axes of the eyes are substantially aligned with optical paths and optical path extensions of the first collimated light signal and the second collimated light signal of one of the virtual binocular pixels.

4 . The computing system with a head wearable display according to claim 1 , wherein when the user uses the part of the hand to interact with the binocular virtual image, the processing unit is configured to signal the head wearable display to display a change in spatial location of the binocular virtual image, whereby a depth of the binocular virtual image continuously changes with a depth of the coordinates of the hand.

5 . The computing system with a head wearable display according to claim 1 , wherein the head wearable display further comprises an audio output module for outputting an audio related to the output data.

6 . The computing system with a head wearable display according to claim 1 , wherein the head wearable display further comprises an audio receiving module for receiving a fourth input data from the user.

7 . The computing system with a head wearable display according to claim 1 , wherein the distance measuring module detects the spatial coordinate of the portion of the hand that is bare.

8 . The computing system with a head wearable display according to claim 1 , wherein the first light direction adjuster and the second light direction adjuster are at least partially transparent relative to ambient light from an environment of the user.

9 . The computing system with a head wearable display according to claim 1 , wherein the binocular virtual image is a keyboard.

10 . The computing system with a head wearable display according to claim 1 , wherein the virtual image is composed of a plurality of binocular pixels and each pixel has a unique 3D coordinate in real space, the virtual image is rendered by multiple first collimated light signals and multiple corresponding second collimated light signals.
