METHOD FOR DISPLAYING MULTIPLE DEPTH PLANES THROUGH VARIABLE FOCUS ELEMENTS

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 system for displaying virtual content to a user, comprising:
a light source to multiplex one or more light patterns associated with one or more frames of image data in a time-sequential manner; a waveguide to receive the one or more light patterns and direct the light patterns to a first focus; and a variable focus element (VFE) coupled to the waveguide to direct at least some of the light patterns to a second focus, wherein the VFE is integrated into the waveguide.
