Abstract: A head-mounted display (HMD) includes a hybrid fan, a printed circuit board (PCB) with one or more electronic components and a heat pipe to dissipate heat. The hybrid fan has a center axis extending from a rear side of the HMD to a front side of the HMD. The hybrid fan pulls air from a rear side of the HMD. The heat pipe has an end coupled to the PCB. The heat pipe partially surrounds a periphery of the hybrid fan and transfers heat away from at least the PCB. The HMD further includes a side cover and a front cover. The side cover encloses the hybrid fan, the PCB and the heat pipe. The front cover is attached to the side cover with a slit between an outer edge of the front cover and an outer edge of the side cover to discharge air from the hybrid fan.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a lanyard adjuster that adjusts the length of a lanyard that passes through the lanyard adjuster. The lanyard adjuster includes a housing and a plate residing within the housing. The plate includes flanges that couple with locking slots of the housing to achieve a locked configuration. In the locked configuration, the plate contacts and applies a force on segments of the lanyard that passes through the lanyard adjuster. Therefore, the lengths of the lanyard on either side of the lanyard adjuster are fixed. The plate can be further decoupled from the housing to enable adjustment of the lengths of the lanyard on either side of the lanyard adjuster.

Abstract: A distributed augmented reality system for producing rendered environment includes a neckband formed from a first arm, second arm, and computation compartment. A power source is embedded in the first and/or second arm, while a processor is embedded in the computation compartment of the neckband. The neckband may be capable of producing an AR, VR or MR environment, or any combination thereof. The neckband device may be used with a coupled eyewear device system encompassing a Near-Eye Display (NED) and/or secondary user device, which may also produce an AR, VR or MR environment, or any combination thereof. The neckband device may provide power and computation to the eyewear device, allowing for a reduced form factor AR/VR/MR eyewear device.

Abstract: A magnification device includes a two-dimensional array of lens assemblies. The two-dimensional array of lens assemblies includes a first group of multiple lens assemblies of a first magnification and a second group of multiple lens assemblies of a second magnification that is distinct from the first magnification. The first group of multiple lens assemblies of the first magnification includes a first lens assembly and a second lens assembly. The second group of multiple lens assemblies of the second magnification includes a third lens assembly and a fourth lens assembly. Each of the first lens assembly, the second lens assembly, the third lens assembly, and the fourth lens assembly includes two or more lenses. The device also includes a spatial light modulator configured to selectively reduce transmission of light for the two-dimensional array of lens assemblies.

Abstract: A corner cut liquid crystal display (LCD) device including a LCD panel and a backlight. The LCD panel includes adjacent panel portions of different width that collectively define a corner cut profile shape for the LCD panel. The backlight includes a light guide and light sources that emit light into the light guide. The backlight directs the light from the light sources toward the LCD panel. The light guide includes adjacent light guide portions of different width that define the corner cut profile shape. Each light guide portion illuminates a corresponding LCD panel portion. The LCD device can be incorporated into a head-mounted display (HMD). The corner cut profile shapes of two adjacent LCD devices, one for the left eye and one for the right eye, may define an open region for placement of other components or parts of the user, such as the user's nose when wearing the HMD.

Abstract: A head mounted display (HMD) adjusts the phase of light of a virtual scene using a spatially programmable focusing element. Depths of the virtual scene are approximated to one or more focal surfaces and the shape of the focal surfaces is then adjusted to minimize the distance of the focal surface to features in the virtual scene. The resulting shape of the focal surface is a continuous piecewise smooth three-dimensional curve. A phase function is generated for each focal surface that, when executed by the spatially programmable focusing element, reproduces a focal pattern corresponding to the each focal surface, which bends and shapes the wavefront to produce a focal pattern that conforms to the scene geometry.

Abstract: An input interface for a virtual reality (VR) system includes one or more actuators stressing or straining a portion of a user's skin, simulating interactions with presented virtual objects. For example, an actuator comprises a tendon contacting portions of a user's body and coupled to a motor that moves the tendon to move portions of the user's body contacting the tendon. Alternatively, an actuator includes a pad having a surface contacting a surface of the user's body. A driving mechanism moves the pad in one or more directions parallel to the surface of the user's body with varying levels of normal force. In another example, one or more pins contact portions of the user's body and a surface of a bladder. The pins move as the bladder is inflated or deflated, which moves the contacted portions of the user's body. Alternatively, another type of actuator may move the pins.

Abstract: A head mounted display (HMD) includes a magnetic sensor to produce a sensor signal responsive to detecting a magnet within a first threshold distance. The HMD also includes a circuit operatively coupled to the magnetic sensor. The circuit determines that the HMD is to be placed in a storage mode responsive to receiving the sensor signal from the magnetic sensor. The circuit powers down components of the HMD responsive to determining that the HMD is to be placed in the storage mode.
