Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An augmented reality system provides improved focus of real and virtual objects. A see-through display device includes a variable focus lens a user looks through. A focal region adjustment unit automatically focuses the variable focus lens in a current user focal region. A microdisplay assembly attached to the see-through display device generates a virtual object for display in the user's current focal region by adjusting its focal region. The variable focus lens may also be adjusted to provide one or more zoom features. Visual enhancement of an object may also be provided to improve a user's perception of an object.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An augmented reality system providing improved focus of objects comprising: a see-through display device having a support structure, the see-through display positioned by the support structure and one or more physical environment facing cameras positioned by the support structure for capturing depth images of a space in which the see-through display device is located; a memory storing software and data; a processor determining a three-dimensional current…
