    摘要: A view redirecting system for use on a mobility device to redirect a user's view to a more favorable orientation is disclosed. One embodiment includes a first structure having a convex first reflective surface, a second structure having a flat second reflective surface and a third structure. The third structure being an adjustable structure and configured for connecting said first and second structures together. The first structure and the second structure are configured to be positioned such that the first reflective surface and the second reflective surface are facing each other at angle up to and including ninety degrees. The third structure configured to maintain the angle. The system is arranged to redirect a user's view from a first line-of-sight to a second line-of-sight by light interacting with the reflective surfaces. The system being configured for attachment to a structural member of the mobility device.

    摘要: A beam scanner of a projector-based near-eye display includes a prismatic element with a reflective polarizer and a quarter-wave waveplate (QWP). The beam-folding prismatic element receives a polarized light beam from a light source and couples the beam to a tiltable reflector, e.g. a 2D tiltable MEMS reflector, for angular scanning the beam. The light beam impinging onto the tiltable reflector is separated from the light beam reflected from the tiltable reflector by polarization. The polarization-based separation is achieved by causing the light beam to propagate through the QWP before and after impinging onto the tiltable reflector. Upon double propagation of the light beam through the QWP, the beam changes its polarization to an orthogonal polarization, which enables its separation from the impinging beam. The beam scanner may receive multiple light beams from multiple light sources. A projector and a near-eye display based on such beam scanners are also disclosed.

    摘要: An all-reflective optical system is described including a concave primary mirror having a central aperture and a radius, the primary mirror having one of a parabolic, non-parabolic conical, or aspherical surface, a convex secondary mirror facing the primary mirror, the secondary mirror having an aspherical surface, where an optical axis extends from a vertex of the primary mirror to a vertex of the secondary mirror, a concave tertiary mirror arranged behind the primary mirror, the tertiary mirror having one of a parabolic, non-parabolic conical or aspherical surface, a concave quaternary mirror arranged in the central aperture of the primary mirror or behind the primary mirror, the quaternary mirror having one of a spherical, parabolic, non-parabolic conical or aspherical surface, and at least one image plane having one or more aggregated sensors, wherein the image plane is positioned at a radial distance from the optical axis that is no more than the radius of the primary mirror.
