Abstract

Customizing frames for augmented reality devices includes receiving a fit profile of a user and selecting a stock frame from a set of different frame sizes. The selected stock frame may be a size that is a closer match to the fit profile than other frame sizes in the set, and the stock frame may be adjusted to create a modified frame that provides a closer match to the fit profile than the stock frame. A see-through display may be coupled to the modified frame.

Claims (10)

1. A high-volume method of customizing frames for augmented reality devices, comprising:

receiving an interpupillary distance and a plurality of fit points of a first user;

creating a first customized frame to accommodate the plurality of fit points of the first user;

coupling a first see-through display to the first customized frame, the first see-through display selected from a plurality of differently-sized see-through displays to space exit pupils of the first see-through display equal to the interpupillary distance of the first user;

receiving an interpupillary distance and a plurality of fit points of a second user, the plurality of fit points of the second user different than the plurality of fit points of the first user;

creating a second customized frame to accommodate the plurality of fit points of the second user; and

coupling a second see-through display to the second customized frame, the second see-through display selected from the plurality of differently-sized see-through displays to space exit pupils of the second see-through display equal to the interpupillary distance of the second user, the first see-through display coupled to the first customized frame via a first set of mountings and the second see-through display coupled to the second customized frame via a second set of mountings, the first set of mountings positioned at a first location on the first frame and the second set of mountings positioned at a second location on the second frame, the first and second locations having identical relative positions.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein creating the first customized frame further comprises selecting a stock frame and adjusting the stock frame to create a modified frame, the modified frame providing a closer match to the plurality of fit points of the first user than the stock frame.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein creating the second customized frame further comprises selecting a stock frame and adjusting the stock frame to create a modified frame, the modified frame providing a closer match to the plurality of fit points of the second user than the stock frame.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first customized frame is a different size than the second customized frame.
