The keeper's note
A compact AR-capable display device with a mount assembly that attaches a mobile computing device to project its display into a predefined field of view.
Abstract
Implementations of an augmented reality (AR)-capable display device for displaying light generated by a display onto a predefined field of view are disclosed herein. Within one implementation, the display device comprises a mount assembly configured to removably attach with a mobile computing device associated with thedisplay, to thereby arrange the display with a predefined position. The display device further comprises an optical arrangement having a predefined arrangement relative to the predefined position and defining the field of view. The optical arrangement comprises a firstmirror element configured to reflect a first portion of first incident light that is based on the light generated by the display, and a second mirror element disposed within the field of view and configured to reflect, onto the field of view, a second portion of secondincident light that is based on the first portion.
Background
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
So that the manner in which the above recited aspects are attained and can be understood in detail, a more particular description of embodiments of the disclosure, briefly summarized above, may be had by reference to the appended drawings. It is to be noted,however, that the appended drawings illustrate only typical embodiments of the disclosureand are therefore not to be considered limiting of its scope, for the disclosure may admit to other equally effective embodiments.
FIG. 1 illustrates an exemplary interactive environment, according to one embodiment.
FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an AR/VR headset configured to interact with a mobile computing device, according to embodiments described herein.
FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating attachment of a mobile computing device with a mount assembly, according to embodiments described herein.
FIGS. 4-11 illustrate exemplary implementations of a compact AR/VR display device, according to various embodiments.DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Various implementations for a compact AR/VR display device are disclosed herein. It is generally beneficial to design a compact AR/VR display device to have a relatively small size and weight, which allows for use by younger users or other users with reduced strength, and which is generally less fatiguing during use.A compact implementation tends to reduce manufacturing costs through reduced material andprocess requirements, and may a
