Description

wearable reality device

The present invention relates to a reality device, in particular to a wearable reality device.

As a kind of imagination and representative of people's future and technological development, reality technology is developing in full swing. Reality technologies include VR (Virtual Reality), AR (Augmented Reality), and MR (Mixed Reality, etc. VR is to create a completely virtual world through devices, and immerse people's five senses in the world. AR is to add a few virtual elements to the real world through devices, such as the Pokémon GO game that was once popular all over the world. MR is between the two, combining virtual scenes with reality through devices, bringing people a sense of Authentic experience.

The device of reality technology can not only be a device placed in the environment, but also a wearable device. A common wearable reality device is a head-mounted reality device, which has a structure similar to goggles, and provides a clamping force to the user's head by a strap that goes around the back of the head, thereby achieving a fixing effect. However, if the strap is tightened to securely fix the device, it is easy to cause discomfort to the user, making it difficult to wear for a long time. If the straps are adjusted loose, there is a risk that the device will slip. Another common wearable reality device is a glasses-type reality device, which has a structure similar to glasses and supports the device through the bridge of the nose and ears. However, over a long period of time, the weight of the device will cause a feeling of oppression, and it is difficult to use it for a long time.

The present invention provides a wearable reality device. Compared with the existing wearable reality device, it can improve the wearing comfort, thereby allowing a longer time of use.

A wearable reality device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a left earmuff, a right earmuff, a first connector, a display body, and a second connector. The left ear cup is configured to be positioned outside the user's left ear when the user uses the wearable reality device. The right ear cup is configured to be positioned outside the user's right ear when the user uses the wearable reality device. The first connecting piece connects the left earmuff and the right earmuff, and is configured to span over the top of the user's head and be supported by the top of the user's head when the user uses the wearable reality device. The display body is configured to be positioned in front of the user's forehead and in front of the eyes when the user uses the wearable reality device. The second connector connects the display main body and the first connector.

The present invention provides a wearable reality device, which can be a VR reality device, an AR reality device, an MR reality device, or other reality devices. This will be described in detail below with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the description and drawings provided herein are for illustration and explanation purposes only and are not intended to be limiting of the present invention. In order to avoid obscuring the focus of the present invention, descriptions of embodiments and/or alternative elements that are well known in the relevant art may be omitted from the specification. In addition, for the sake of clarity, the accompanying drawings may not be drawn to actual scale, and some elements and/or element symbols may be omitted in some of the drawings. It is contemplated that elements and/or features of one embodiment may be included in another embodiment even if the relevant recitation is not provided herein.
