Description

VR Headset Device {VR Headset Device}

The present invention relates to a VR headset device, and more particularly, to a VR headset capable of packaging in a folded state using a cardboard.

Virtual reality refers to an interface between a human and a computer that artificially creates a certain environment or situation, and makes the person who uses it appear as if they are interacting with the actual surrounding situation and environment.

 The terms virtual reality include artificial reality, cyberspace, virtual worlds, virtual environment, synthetic environment, artificial environment, and augmented reality. It may be used interchangeably with terms such as reality and mixed reality.

The purpose of using virtual reality is to allow people to show and operate as if they are in the environment without having to directly experience the environment that is difficult to experience on a daily basis. Its application fields are education, remote operation, remote satellite surface exploration, and exploration. Data analysis, scientific visualization, etc.

In the related art, a headset device for virtual experience (for example, a Head Mount Display (HMD)) is very expensive, and thus, there is a limitation in that versatility is poor. Recently, with the development of smartphones or tablet PCs, various applications have been provided, among which technologies and devices for simply experiencing virtual reality on smartphones or tablet PCs through separate virtual reality headsets have been proposed. have.

These virtual reality headsets are configured separately from a smart phone and must be carried separately. However, the virtual reality headset itself is bulky and has a disadvantage in that it is inconvenient to carry and is made of a strong and thick material, which is expensive.

6 illustrates an exploded view of a second cardboard and a third cardboard according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The lens unit may be formed by folding the second cardboard 420, and the partition wall 300 may be formed by folding the third cardboard 430.

The second cardboard 420 may form a lens unit. Here, the lens unit 200 may be formed so that the two surfaces are symmetrical to each other to be folded. Therefore, the lens unit 200 is formed of two surfaces, and the lens 20 can be inserted between the two surfaces, and can serve to support the box structure.

In addition, the lens unit 200 may include a lens unit attachment surface 220. The lens unit attachment surface 220 may be adhered to the first surface of the upper portion 110 or the lower portion 130.

In addition, the lens unit attachment surface 220 may include an attachment groove 221 corresponding to the size of the partition wall attachment surface 320. Therefore, the attachment groove 221 has a technical effect of preventing the thickness of the cardboard from becoming thicker even when the partition wall attachment surface 320 is attached to the lens unit attachment surface 220.

If there is no attachment groove 221, the thickness of the cardboard may be thickened during packaging as the lens attachment surface 220 and the partition attachment surface 320 overlap. In the case of storing a large amount of cardboard, the total thickness of the cardboard is significantly thickened, and the number of cardboard that can be stored in a certain volume may be limited.

The third cardboard 430 may form a partition wall 300. The partition 300 may include a partition wall fitting module 310 and a partition wall attachment surface 320. The partition wall attachment surface 320 may be attached to the attachment groove 221 formed in the lens unit attachment surface 220.

7 is a view for explaining a state during packaging in a first packaging method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 7, in the case of the first packaging method, the partition wall part 300 is adhered to the first surface and may be located in a separated state from the second surface. In addition, the lens unit may be configured to be attached to the first surface and positioned parallel to the upper portion 110 and the lower portion 130 in a state separated from the second surface.

Here, the partition wall part 300 and the lens part 200 may be adhered to the first surface or may be adhered to different surfaces.

In the case of the first packaging method, the pair of side folding lines 121 may be folded inward, and the partition wall portion 300 may be configured such that the partition wall folding lines 301 are folded in one direction. The first packaging method may be referred to as an accordion method based on a shape in which the pair of side folding lines 121 are all folded inward. The final state packaged in such an accordion manner may be a state in which the connection part of the rear part is folded and the rear part 140 is packaged in a form overlapping with the rest of the configuration in the form shown in FIG. 7.

8 is a view for explaining a state during packaging in a second packaging method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 8, in the case of the second packaging method, the partition wall part 300 is adhered to the first surface and may be located in a separated state from the second surface. In addition, the lens unit is adhered to the first surface, and may be configured to be positioned parallel to the upper portion 110 and the lower portion 130 in a state separated from the second surface.

Here, the partition wall part 300 and the lens part may be adhered to the first surface or may be adhered to different surfaces.
