Abstract: A lens specification for multiple lens layers of a lens structure is generated by one or more processors. A multifocal correction (MFC) component is assigned to at least one lens layer of the multiple lens layers. Parameters are generated for a display optics (DO) lens layer comprising an augmented reality (AR) display, the DO lens layer having a first side for facing an eye of the user and a second side for facing away from the eye of the user. Parameters are generated for one or more eye side (ES) lens layers of the multiple lens layers to be disposed adjacent to the first side of the DO lens layer, and for one or more world side (WS) lens layers to be disposed adjacent to the second side of the DO lens layer. The generated lens specification is provided for use in production of the lens structure for the user.

Abstract: A system includes a head-mounted display (HMD) device configured to project digital images to a user's eye and a viewing device. The viewing device includes an optical relay unit having a world-facing surface and an eye-facing surface and a holder coupled to the optical relay unit and configured to support the HMD device near the world-facing surface. The optical relay unit is configured to transmit light projected by the HMD device to an eye-facing aperture disposed at the eye-facing surface of the optical relay. The system shifts an eyebox of the HMD by receiving light projected from an optical combiner of the HMD, transmitting the light through the optical relay unit of the viewing device to the eye-facing aperture of the optical relay unit, and outputting the light from the eye-facing aperture such that the light is focused at an eyebox in which a user's eye is located.

Abstract: A system and method of calibrating a head-mounted display (HMD) by positioning an optical combiner of the HMD into a holder of a calibration station such that the optical combiner is in a primary optical path of light provided from a micro-display of the HMD and a camera of the calibration station, adjusting a tunable correction unit to correct defocus caused by a corrective prescription of the optical combiner, capturing images of a reference target by the camera as viewed through the tunable correction unit and optical combiner, and generating a distortion model from the captured images and calibrating the HMD in order to apply the distortion model to images projected by the HMD.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes tinting techniques in a lens stack assembly for a wearable head mounted display (WHMD). The lens stack assembly includes a waveguide disposed between two lenses, where the two lenses include tints to selectively reduce the amount of ambient light transmitted to the user while not reducing the amount of the display light in the WHMD. In addition, the tinting techniques described herein reduce or eliminate the generation of ghost images resulting from the reflection of outcoupled light from the waveguide away from the user back toward the user.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and assemblies for implementing multi-focal lens portions in wearable heads-up displays are described. Multi-focal lens portions may include at least two regions having different optical power, and at least one transition region between regions having different optical power. If display light is directed through a transition region, aberrations or distortion may be visible in the display presented to the user. The present systems, devices, and assemblies address this issue through shaping, positioning, and orienting of regions of a multi-focal lens portion, through positioning, orientation, and aiming of display optics, and/or through arrangements of lens assemblies which prevent display light from travelling through a multi-focal lens portion.
