Abstract

A virtual or augmented reality device is provided. The virtual or augmented reality device may include at least one visualization device and at least one computer that may be communicatively linked. The external computer may further include a central processing unit and a video adaptor. The video adaptor may supply multiple data stream to the visualization device. The virtual or augmented reality device may also include at least two displays that may be connected to the visualization device.

Claims (29)

1. A virtual or augmented reality device system comprising:

at least one visualization device;

at least one first external computer,

wherein the at least one first external computer is communicatively linked to the at least one visualization device,

wherein the at least one first external computer further comprises a central processing unit and a video adaptor,

wherein the video adaptor supplies multiple data stream to the at least one visualization device;

at least two displays coated with semi-permeable infrared reflecting layer to enhance reflection, wherein the at least two displays are connected to the at least one visualization device;

an automatically adjustable focus;

at least one left lens and one right lens positioned in front of the at least two displays, wherein the least one left lens and one right lens are connected to an adjustable pupillary distance mechanism which is connected to a pupillary distance measurement sensor providing feedback of lenses position, and wherein the adjustable pupillary distance mechanism is connected to lens actuators;

at least two eye tracking systems connected to the lens actuators and wherein the least two eye tracking systems further comprise at least two eye tracking cameras that use the at least two displays as a mirror, and provide information about a center of pupils; and

wherein the pupillary distance measurement sensor and the at least two eye tracking systems are connected to at least one of the at least one first external computer and a second computer for setting a center of the at least one left lens and one right lens in front of the center of pupils, and the at least one of the at least one first external computer and the second computer for setting the center of the at least one left lens and one right lens is further connected to the adjustable pupillary distance mechanism.

2. The virtual or augmented reality system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one visualization device further comprises at least one dedicated video splitter.

3. The virtual or augmented reality system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one visualization device further comprises at least one direct external video connection, at least one graphical adaptor, and at least one processing unit.

4. The virtual or augmented reality system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one first external computer provides at least one video signal.

5. The virtual or augmented reality system of claim 2 , wherein the at least one visualization device switches between at least two video signals.

6. The virtual or augmented reality system of claim 1 , wherein the actuators adjust the position of the at least two displays.

7. The virtual or augmented reality system of claim 1 further comprising at least one contact lens.

8. The virtual or augmented reality system of claim 1 further comprising at least three IMUs positioned on different axes.

9. The virtual or augmented reality system of claim 1 further comprising:

at least one XR/AR module,

wherein the at least one XR/AR module further comprises two front-facing cameras positioned adjustably, and wherein the two front-facing cameras are distinct from the at least two eye tracking cameras.

10. The virtual or augmented reality system of claim 9 , wherein the front-facing cameras are wide field-of-view cameras.

11. The virtual or augmented reality system of claim 1 ,

wherein the at least two displays are flexible.

12. The virtual or augmented reality system of claim 11 , wherein the at least one left lens and one right lens substantially mimic the curvature of the at least two displays.

13. The virtual or augmented reality system of claim 11 wherein the at least one left lens and one right lens, at one end, are connected to the respective at least two displays.

14. The virtual or augmented reality system of claim 1 , wherein the automatically adjustable focus works using servomotors.

15. The virtual or augmented reality system of claim 1 , wherein the at least two eye tracking systems are connected to actuators of display.

16. The virtual or augmented reality system of claim 1 , wherein a left lens of the at least one left lens and one right lens is connected to at least one left actuator and a right lens of the at least one left lens and one right lens is connected to at least one right actuator for adjusting of position of lenses.
