Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods that integrate eye tracking capability into scanning laser projector (“SLP”)-based wearable heads-up displays are described. At least one narrow waveband laser diode is used in an SLP to define one or more portion(s) of a visible image. At least one corresponding narrow waveband photodetector is aligned to detect reflections of the portion(s) of the image from features of the eye. A holographic optical element (“HOE”) may be used to combine the image and environmental light into the user's “field of view.” Three narrow waveband photodetectors each responsive to a respective one of three narrow wavebands output by the RGB laser diodes of an RGB SLP are aligned to detect reflections of a projected RGB image from features of the eye.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for making, replicating, and using curved holographic optical elements (“HOEs”) are described. A hologram may be optically recorded into a planar layer of holographic film with various measures in place to compensate for changes (e.g., in optical power and/or playback wavelength and/or angular bandwidth) that may result when a curvature is subsequently applied thereto. A hologram may be optically recorded into a curved layer of holographic film with various measures in place to compensate for optical effects of a curved transparent substrate upon which the holographic film is mounted. A curved HOE may be returned to a planar configuration to undergo holographic replication or holographic replication may be performed using a curved master HOE and curved “recipient” film. The curved HOEs described herein are particularly well-suited for use when integrated with a curved eyeglass lens to form the transparent combiner of a virtual retina display.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for wearable computer systems are described. A wearable heads-up display (“WHUD”) is implemented as a peripheral to a wearable electronic band worn on a limb of the user. The majority (or all) of the application storage and processing is performed on the band instead of on the WHUD, and therefore the WHUD does not include all of the hardware infrastructure necessary for application storage and processing. This significantly reduces the bulk of the WHUD and enables more aesthetically pleasing WHUD designs. Graphics processing is also performed on the band instead of on the WHUD. In some implementations, rasterized display data is wirelessly transmitted from the band to the WHUD using an ultra-wideband wireless communication scheme. Gesture-based control of content displayed by the WHUD is enabled by sensors on-board the band itself or by a third wearable component in communication with the band.
Abstract translation: 描述了可穿戴计算机系统的系统，设备和方法。 可穿戴式平视显示器（“WHUD”）被实现为佩戴在用户肢体上的可穿戴电子乐器的外围设备。 应用程序存储和处理的大部分（或全部）是在频段而不是在WHUD上执行的，因此WHUD不包括应用程序存储和处理所需的所有硬件基础架构。 这显着减少了WHUD的大部分，并使得更多美观的WHUD设计。 图形处理也是在乐队而不是在WHUD上进行的。 在一些实现中，使用超宽带无线通信方案将光栅化显示数据从带无线地发送到WHUD。 由WHUD显示的内容的基于姿态的控制由带内的传感器本身或通过与频带通信的第三可穿戴组件来实现。

Abstract: A wearable heads-up display includes a support structure that in use is worn on a head of a user, a scanning laser projector carried by the support structure, and a holographic optical element carried by the support structure. The holographic optical element includes a set of holograms formed in one or more layers of holographic material. The set of holograms includes a red hologram that is exclusively responsive to red laser light incident thereon over a first range of angles of incidence, a green hologram that is exclusively responsive to blue laser light incident thereon over the first range of angles of incidence, and a blue hologram that is exclusively responsive to green laser light incident thereon over the first range of angles of incidence.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods that integrate eye tracking capability into scanning laser projector (“SLP”)-based wearable heads-up displays are described. An infrared laser diode is added to an RGB SLP and an infrared photodetector is aligned to detect reflections of the infrared light from features of the eye. A holographic optical element (“HOE”) may be used to combine visible light, infrared light, and environmental light into the user's “field of view.” The HOE may be heterogeneous and multiplexed to apply positive optical power to the visible light and zero or negative optical power to the infrared light.
