The LCoS display enables long-time gaming and video applications and maximizes immersion through optimal optics and mechanisms specialized for video viewing and KRP.

Figure 3 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a VR HMD equipped with an iris authentication function according to an embodiment of the present invention. VR HMD (100) stands for Head mounted Display, and is an image display device that can be worn on the head like glasses and enjoy large images. The VR HMD (100) includes a communication module (140) that transmits and receives data through wired and wireless communication with the VR service server (200), and a main board (140) that provides programs received from the VR service server (200) and controls the VR HMD ( 110), an iris recognition module 120 that tracks the user's gaze and recognizes the iris, a display module 130 that provides an image received from the main board 110, and an iris authentication module for iris authentication. It includes a memory 150 that stores information.

When the VR HMD 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention starts to be driven after the wearer wears it, the iris recognition module 120 recognizes the wearer's iris information. That is, the iris recognition module 120 tracks the gaze using a camera, and when light comes from an infrared LED and illuminates the eye, the camera captures an image of infrared rays reflected in the eye to generate iris information.

The memory 150 matches and stores iris information and login information such as one or more VR service sites, IDs, and passwords to be logged in using the iris information, for each iris information.

When iris information is transmitted from the iris recognition module 120, the main board 110 displays VR service sites matched to the iris information in the memory 150 on the display module 130. When the user selects the VR service site he or she wants to access using a control device electrically coupled to the VR HMD (100), the user is connected to the login page of the VR service server (200) according to the login information through the communication module (140). Log in to the VR service site using your iris information or login information. Even if the VR service site does not support iris authentication, login is possible through iris authentication.

Here, the main board 110 may include all types of devices that can process data, such as a processor.

The VR HMD is electrically coupled to the operating device to allow selection of the VR service site to which one wishes to log in. The manipulation device may include one of a handheld controller, a virtual finger device, a haptic glove, a keyboard, or a tracker.

The memory may include iris information, one or more VR service sites, an ID for each VR service site, and login information for each ID.

The login information includes one or more of a password, pattern, and iris information, so that the user can log in using iris authentication even on a VR service server that does not support iris authentication.

The memory includes payment authentication information and enables everything from VR shopping to payment while wearing a VR HMD without separate payment authentication.

When the VR HMD 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention starts operating after being worn, login can be completed by simply selecting a site using iris information automatically, thereby omitting the need to perform a complicated procedure for separate login. There will be.

Even when multiple users use the VR HMD 100, login information according to each iris information is matched and stored, so it is possible to not have a separate HMD for each user.
