Two new Head Mounted Device Patents reveal more about Optical Systems used in Augmented Reality Applications
Today the US Patent & Trademark Office published two patent applications from Apple that relate to their mixed reality headset. Each patent relates to optical systems with one specifically relating to display adjustment and correction in context with mixed realities that include augmented reality and augmented virtuality.
Apple's first patent application covers a head-mountable device that could include an optical module that provides a display element and/or an optical element that are adjustably mounted.
The display element and/or another optical element can be adjusted by actuation of a mechanism that allows the display element and/or the optical element to move in one or more (e.g., six) degrees of freedom (roll, pitch, and yaw).
