Apple invents an Adaptive Display to assist users avoid eye discomfort transitioning from a dark VR Headset to a bright environment
On Tuesday, Patently Apple posted a granted patent report titled "Apple wins Patent for a unique lighting system designed to assist a user's eyes adjust from a bright environment to a dark VR Headset" and vice versa. The original title of the patent was " Electronic device with adaptive lighting system." The image below is from Apple's granted patent.
Today the US Patent & Trademark Office published a patent application from Apple that relates to adaptive displays for head-mounted devices, that shares the same foundation as the patent granted to Apple on Tuesday. The title of this patent is close but different: " Electronic Device with Adaptive Display." The focus in this patent is on the adaptive display and not necessarily the lighting system.
