Filed:

May 25, 2021

Appl. No.:

17/330173

Inventors:

- Plantation FL, US
Jason Allen Shultz - Miami FL, US
William Hudson Welch - Fort Lauderdale FL, US
Bing Wu - Davie FL, US

Assignee:

Magic Leap, Inc. - Plantation FL

International Classification:

G02B 27/01
G02B 27/00

Abstract:

Wearable and optical display systems and methods for operation thereof incorporating monovision display techniques are disclosed. A wearable device may include left and right optical stacks configured to switch between displaying virtual content at a first focal plane or a second focal plane. The wearable device may determine whether or not an activation condition is satisfied. In response to determining that the activation condition is satisfied, a monovision display mode associated with the wearable device may be activated, which may include causing the left optical stack to display the virtual content at the first focal plane and causing the right optical stack to display the virtual content at the second focal plane.

Abstract:

Dynamic radiation beam shaping methods and systems, comprising: providing a radiation source for delivering an input radiation beam; disposing a first optical element substantially adjacent to the radiation source; disposing a second optical element substantially adjacent to the first optical element; and moving one or more of the first optical element and the second optical element relative to one another such that either an output radiation beam has a variable predetermined shape or the output radiation beam maintains a predetermined shape when the input radiation beam is varied. Optionally, the first optical element and the second optical element each comprise a freeform shape and predetermined diffractive characteristics, refractive characteristics, reflective characteristics, hybrid characteristics, gradient index materials, metamaterials, metasurfaces, subwavelength structures, and/or plasmonics. The one or more of the first optical element and the second optical element are one or more of translated laterally with respect to an optic axis, rotated about the optic axis, tilted with respect to the optic axis, and separated along the optic axis.
