COMBINING DISPLAY ELEMENTS HAVING DIFFERENT FRAME RATES AND BIT DEPTHS FOR AUGMENTED OR VIRTUAL REALITY

摘要

Configurations are disclosed for presenting virtual reality and augmented reality experiences to users. The system may comprise an image-generating source to provide one or more frames of image data in a time-sequential manner, a light modulator configured to transmit light associated with the one or more frames of image data, a substrate to direct image information to a user's eye, wherein the substrate houses a plurality of reflectors, a first reflector of the plurality of reflectors to reflect transmitted light associated with a first frame of image data at a first angle to the user's eye, and a second reflector to reflect transmitted light associated with a second frame of the image data at a second angle to the user's eye.

主权项

1. A method for displaying virtual content to a user, the method comprising:
combining a first display element with a second display element, the first display element corresponding to a high frame rate and a low bit depth, and the second display element corresponding to a low frame rate and a high bit depth, such that the combined display elements correspond to a high frame rate and high bit depth; and projecting light associated with one or more frames of image data through the combined display elements; and switching a focus of the projected light, through a variable focus element (VFE), on a frame-by-frame basis, such that a first image slice is projected at a first focus, and a second image slice is projected at a second focus.
