    摘要: An eye and environment sensing system for a head-mounted device may be configured to determine changes in an eye orientation and range objects in the environment by sharing a common light source. The eye and environment sensing system includes a light source, a first photodetector, and a second photodetector. The light source is coupled to a frame of a head-mounted device and configured to provide a light beam to illuminate a portion of an eyebox region. The first photodetector is coupled to the frame and is oriented towards the eyebox region to receive reflections of the light beam from the eyebox region. The second photodetector is coupled to the frame and is oriented towards a scene side of the head-mounted device to receive reflections of the light beam from an environment of the head-mounted device. With a shared light source, battery consumption in the head-mounted device may be reduced.

    摘要: A far-field characteristic of light emitted by a micro light emitting diode (μLED) such as a beam shape, a beam orientation, a beam focusing, or a beam polarization is controlled by a metasurface of nanostructures formed on the μLED. The metasurface is characterized or defined by a far-field objective function for the emitted light, selection of a nanostructure shape, and application of one or more fabrication constraints to shape parameters for the selected nanostructure shape. A number and a location of the nanostructures is determined employing an adjoint simulation technique, and the shape parameters for the nanostructure are tuned employing a shape optimization technique.

    摘要: A three-dimensional (3D) compressive sensing based eye tracking system using single photon avalanche diode (SPAD) sensors achieves high resolution depth measurement by using low resolution SPAD sensors and active encoded illumination such as two- or three-dimensional fringe patterns, random speckles, random patterns, and/or superimposed patterns projected onto a surface of an eye. The patterns may be projected by high speed illuminators such as a digital micromirror device (DMD) or micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) projector in series changing at the same rate as the SPAD sensor capture rate. A processor may employ compressive sensing techniques to obtain a high resolution image and depth information from the captured images of varying patterns.
