Methods and Devices for Providing Enhanced Visual Acuity

摘要

The specification describes an enhanced reality visual interface in the form of smart eyeglasses that view, process, and project desired visual information to a user's field of view. High resolution picture elements or super-pixels are used to create an enhanced image for a user, based on the user's actual visual acuity and the desired enhanced image. Generated signals are delivered to the eye in a manner that image processing is carried out by the user's brain.

主权项

1. A vision enhancement device for providing enhanced visual acuity, comprising:
a frame; at least one transparent substrate positioned within said frame; at least one digital camera positioned on said frame to capture a field of view; at least one sensor positioned on said frame for tracking eye movements; a processor and non-transient memory configured to store and execute a plurality of instructions, wherein, when said plurality of instructions is executed, said processor:
receives and processes data from the at least one digital camera and at least one sensor to determine characteristics of a user's eyes;based on said characteristics, executes a perception engine to determine a minimum set of pixel data;generates collimated light beams in accordance with said minimum set of pixel data; anddelivers the minimum set of pixel data to the user's eyes; and at least one energy source in electrical communication with said digital camera, said sensor, and said processor.
