Abstract: An electronic device including an illuminator and a camera configured for performing iris recognition while the user holds the device. The lens of the camera comprises four molded plastic elements with eight aspheric surfaces at a total thickness of only 3.4 mm that provides a mildly distorted image 1.2 mm across. The relative aperture is 3.5 with a fixed focal distance, providing a depth-of-field spanning a fixed focus region of at least 10 cm in depth that is 25 to 35 cm (centimeters) from the eye. The illuminator comprises a near-IR LED in a Cassegrain telescope configuration for efficient directing of flux toward the eye, thereby conserving device volume and electric energy use.

Abstract: An f-theta lens system for a camera that provides a wide field-of-view, relatively low distortion, and a compact footprint. The lens system comprises four molded plastic elements with seven aspheric surfaces. Within a total thickness of 2.5 millimeters, the system is able to provide an image that is 1.2 millimeters across with a horizontal field of view of 127 degrees. The images produced by the system are well-suited for use with conventional face tracking algorithms designed to process rectilinear images produced by cameras with a narrower field of view.

Abstract: Various approaches discussed herein enable techniques for adjusting color temperature value of illumination, for example with regard to electrophoretic ink display screens. A plurality of one type of LEDs are positioned along an injection line of a light guide panel, and are interleaved with a plurality of another type of LED positioned along the injection line. By controlling the current supplied to each group of LEDs, a color temperature value of light directed onto a display screen from the light guide panel may be adjusted to remove or reduce blue aspects.

Abstract: A projection system projects images onto a surface as part of an augmented reality environment. Users may interact with the images and this interaction is captured as feedback to the system. The projection system includes a refractive beam steerer to direct the projected images onto specific surfaces within the environment, even if the surfaces are moved about the area. The beam steerer has multiple wedge-shaped prisms that are independently movable to steer the projected light beam as desired. Additionally, an infrared (IR) device may be used to illuminate the environment with IR light, and the IR light may be emitted along a common optical path through the refractive beam steerer as used by the projected light beam.

Abstract: In some examples, a projection display surface is configured to reflect a first image or image portion in a first direction and a second image or image portion in a second direction. In some cases, first light corresponding to the first image is projected onto a display surface that includes a first plurality of reflectors configured to reflect the first light in a first direction, but not reflect second light corresponding to the second image. The display surface may further include a second plurality of reflectors to reflect the second light in a second direction, but not reflect the first light. In some examples, the first light is within a first wavelength range and the second light is within a second, different wavelength range. In other examples, the first light has a first polarization and the second light has a second, different polarization.

Abstract: Devices and techniques are generally described for multi-band projection of image data. In various examples, image data may be identified. In some examples, first image data of a first frequency may be generated from the image data. In some examples, second image data of a second frequency may be generated from the image data. In various examples, the first frequency may be higher than the second frequency. In some examples, a first image may be projected onto a projection surface using a raster projector. In an example, the first image may correspond to the first image data. In further examples, a second image may be projected onto the projection surface overlaying the first image. In various other examples, projecting the second image onto the projection surface may be performed using a lamp-based projector. In some examples, the second image may correspond to the second image data.
