PROVIDING AUGMENTED OR VIRTUAL REALITY USING TRANSMISSIVE BEAMSPLITTERS

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, comprising:
providing one or more light patterns associated with one or more frames of image data in a time-sequential manner; reflecting the one or more light patterns associated with the one or more frames of image data via a transmissive beamsplitter to an exit pupil, the transmissive beamsplitter having a plurality of reflectors to variably direct light toward the exit pupil; and expanding an exit pupil through a plurality of optical elements coupled to the plurality of reflectors of the transmissive beamsplitter.
