Methods of manufacturing a liquid crystal device including depositing a layer of liquid crystal material on a substrate and imprinting a pattern on the layer of liquid crystal material using an imprint template are disclosed. The liquid crystal material can be jet deposited. The imprint template can include surface relief features, Pancharatnam-Berry Phase Effect (PBPE) structures or diffractive structures. The liquid crystal device manufactured by the methods described herein can be used to manipulate light, such as for beam steering, wavefront shaping, separating wavelengths and/or polarizations, and combining different wavelengths and/or polarizations.

Virtual and augmented reality systems and methods

Aspects of the present invention relate to a compact optics module for a head mounted display including a DLP image source comprising a polarized light source providing illumination light, a flat reflective polarizer to reflect the illumination light toward the DLP image source and transmit image light, wherein the illumination light is provided at an angle to the DLP, a quarter wave retarder to change the polarization state of the illumination light as it is reflected by the DLP image source thereby providing image light, at least one light trap to absorb a portion of off-state image light, a lens element to provide a viewable field of view of on-state image light in an image displayed by the DLP image source, and a combiner to reflect the on-state image light toward a user's eye and provide a see-through view of a surrounding environment.

See-through computer display systems

Systems and methods are provided for discerning the intent of a device wearer primarily based on movements of the eyes. The system can be included within unobtrusive headwear that performs eye tracking and controls screen display. The system can also utilize remote eye tracking camera(s), remote displays and/or other ancillary inputs. Screen layout is optimized to facilitate the formation and reliable detection of rapid eye signals. The detection of eye signals is based on tracking physiological movements of the eye that are under voluntary control by the device wearer. The detection of eye signals results in actions that are compatible with wearable computing and a wide range of display devices.

Systems and methods for biomechanically-based eye signals for interacting with real and virtual objects

A system and method for using a virtual reality or an augmented reality environment for the measurement and/or improvement of human vestibulo-ocular performance can be implemented by combining a video camera based eye orientation sensor, a head orientation sensor, a display, and an electronic circuit that connects the eye sensor, head sensor, and display. The system and method can be operated in the range of frequencies between 0.01 Hertz and 15 Hertz. The system and method can use a Fourier transform to compute a gain and a phase. The system and method can be used for measuring vestibulo-ocular reflex, dynamic visual acuity, dynamic visual stability, kinetic visual acuity, retinal image stability, or foveal fixation stability in a non-clinical setting. The system and method can be completely portable, head-worn, and self-contained.

Systems and methods using virtual reality or augmented reality environments for the measurement and/or improvement of human vestibulo-ocular performance

Apparatus, systems, and methods are provided for substantially continuous biometric identification (CBID) of an individual using eye signals in real time. The apparatus is included within a wearable computing device with identification of the device wearer based on iris recognition within one or more cameras directed at one or both eyes, and/or other physiological, anatomical and/or behavioral measures. Verification of device user identity can be used to enable or disable the display of secure information. Identity verification can also be included within information that is transmitted from the device in order to determine appropriate security measures by remote processing units. The apparatus may be incorporated within wearable computing that performs other functions including vision correction, head-mounted display, viewing the surrounding environment using scene camera(s), recording audio data via a microphone, and/or other sensing equipment.

Systems and methods for discerning eye signals and continuous biometric identification

Apparatus, systems, and methods are provided for secure mobile communications (SMC) by an individual using biometric signals and identification in real time. The apparatus includes a wearable computing device where identification of the user is based on iris recognition, and/or other physiological and anatomical measures. Biometric identity measures can be combined with other security-based information such as passwords, date/time stamps, and device identification. Identity verification can be embedded within information that is transmitted from the device and/or to determine appropriate security measures. SMC addresses security issues associated with the transmission of eye-signal control and biometric identification data using secure interfaces with network devices within a system of systems (SoS) software architecture.

Systems and methods for using eye signals with secure mobile communications

An electronic system generates at a display virtual writing corresponding to tracked motion of a pointer with respect to a surface based on proximity of a tip of the pointer to the surface and the gaze of a user's eye. The electronic system determines the motion of the tip of the pointer with respect to the surface based on images captured by scene cameras, and determines the focus and gaze direction of the user's eye based on images captured by a user-facing camera. By generating virtual writing at the display corresponding to tracked motion of the pointer based on proximity of the tip of the pointer to the surface and based on the focus and gaze direction of the user's eye, the electronic system can enable virtual writing and associated collaboration services without the need for a specialized writing surface or pointer.

System and method for generating virtual marks based on gaze tracking

An electronic system tracks a user's gaze to rapidly transport a cursor to a location within a focal region of the user's eye. The electronic system transports the cursor from an initial location across one or more displays to a new location in response to detecting one or more saccadic and/or vergence movements of the user's eye or in response to a signal indicating that the user desires to move the cursor to a new location within a focal region of the user's eye or eyes. In some embodiments, the electronic system moves the cursor to the new location along a trajectory wherein the cursor is visible along at least a portion of the trajectory, enabling the user to find the cursor more easily.
