Description
- This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14/993,964, filed Jan. 12, 2016, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
- Virtual reality continues to improve and develop in order to allow a user to immerse himself or herself into another world, whether real or imaginary. Virtual reality may take the form of a 3D graphic design on a screen, such as an arcade screen, or the user may wear a head-mounted display or viewer such that the screen is placed directly over the field of vision of the user. A piece of cardboard or plastic may be used as a head-mountable viewer such that the user can place an electronic device, such as a smartphone, into the cardboard and then fold the cardboard in such a way that the cardboard and electronic device alone provide the user with a virtual reality experience. Using cardboard, as one example, may be a cheaper alternative to expensive virtual reality devices, but nonetheless the cardboard used may not be suitable and conformable to the many different shapes and sizes of the vast array of users.
- A head-mountable viewer with adjustable lenses to suit the needs of users is disclosed herein. The head-mountable viewer may be made of cardboard, which then folds in a manner that houses the electronic device that is securely placed therein, and a display of the electronic device is directed toward a face of a user such that the user can immerse himself or herself in the virtual reality world. The head-mountable viewer includes a pair of lenses that the user looks through to see the electronic device when the user places the head-mountable viewer up against his or her face. The lenses may be attached to a set of tabs that are located around a periphery of the head-mountable viewer. Movement and manipulation of the tabs allows the user to manipulate and position the lenses to conform to the facial features and preferences of the user, e.g., position the lenses comfortably in front of the eyes of the user.
- A head-mountable viewer is disclosed herein, the head-mountable viewer including a frame having a cavity, the cavity configured to receive an electronic device, the frame further including a bore; a first lens positioned within the bore; and a first tab attached to the frame, wherein the first tab is operatively connected to the first lens and movement of the first tab causes a corresponding movement of the first lens.
- As another example, vertical, horizontal, diagonal, or lateral movement of the first tab causes vertical, horizontal, diagonal, or lateral movement of the first lens, respectively. As a further example, the head-mountable viewer further includes a first side arm extending from a first side of the frame, the first side arm including the first tab; and a second side arm extending from a second side of the frame, the first side arm including a second tab, wherein the second tab is operatively connected to a second lens positioned within a second bore within the frame, and movement of the second tab causes a corresponding movement of the second lens. As another example, lateral movement of first tab causes lateral movement of the first lens relative to a face of a user.
- As another embodiment, a head-mountable viewer is disclosed, wherein the head-mountable viewer includes a frame; and a slidable member, the slidable member operatively connected to a first tab and the slidable member further operatively connected to a first lens, the first tab extending from a cut-out of the frame and the first lens being aligned with a first bore within the frame, wherein adjustment of the first tab translates to adjustment of the first lens within the periphery of the first bore. As another example, the head-mountable includes a first side arm of the frame, the first side arm positioned in a horizontal direction of the first lens, wherein the first tab extends from the first side arm. As another example, the outward positioning of the first tab away from the frame translates to outward positioning of the first lens away from a central portion of the frame, and inward positioning of the first tab toward the frame translates to inward positioning of the first lens toward the central portion of the frame. In another example, the first tab and first lens are positionable at any location between a fully extended first tab and a fully inserted first tab. As a further example, vertical, horizontal, diagonal, or lateral movement of the first tab causes vertical, horizontal, diagonal, or lateral movement of the first lens, respectively. In that example, the slidable member includes a recess that receives the first lens.

The head-mountable viewer may include a frame with a cavity therein, wherein the cavity is configured to receive an electronic device with a display, such as a smartphone. The frame will also include a first and second bore with a first and second lens securely placed therein. The frame may further include first and second tabs that are operatively connected or attached to the first and second lenses, respectively, and thereby movement of the first and second tabs cause a corresponding movement of the first and second lenses, respectively. In this regard, when the frame is held up to the face of the user, the user is able to adjust the lenses accordingly in a manner that best suits their facial features.
- Referring to
FIG. 1 , head-mountable viewer 110 includes aframe 120 configured to be held to the face of the user.Frame 120 may be made of cardboard, plastic, or any such material with sufficient substance to operate as a head-mountable viewer in accordance with the disclosure herein. Theframe 120 includes abase 130 and abacking 140 that the user can detach and then re-attach to each other. For instance,frame 120 may implement a fastening mechanism to fastenbacking 140 tobase 130. In this regard and as illustrated inFIG. 2 ,frame 120 implements Velcro™ to fastenbacking 140 tobase 130. In particular,backing 140 includes soft-side 242 andbase 130 includes hard-side 234 that fasten to each other. This provides the user with an easy way to attach and re-attach backing 140 tobase 130. As alternative examples to fastenbacking 140 tobase 130, a hook and loop fastener, tab and notch fastener, other types of touch fasteners, or any other fastener may be used as well. - As illustrated in
FIG. 2 , the opening ofbacking 140 frombase 130 exposes cavity 236 withinbase 130. Cavity 236 is provided to allow an electronic device to be inserted therein. The electronic device may include a smartphone, PDA, or any video game system that includes a display. It should be noted that although a smartphone may be used, any electronic device that includes processing capabilities may be implemented as well. For instance, the processing capabilities of the electronic device may include a processor, memory with instructions and data stored therein, and a display. - The memory of the electronic device stores information accessible by the processor including instructions and data that may be executed or otherwise used by the processor. The memory may be of any type capable of storing information accessible by the processor, including a computer-readable medium, or other medium that stores data that may be read with the aid of an electronic device, such as a hard-drive, memory card, ROM, RAM, DVD or other optical disks, as well as other write-capable and read-only memories. Systems and methods may include different combinations of the foregoing, whereby different portions of the instructions and data are stored on different types of media.
- The instructions may be any set of instructions to be executed directly (such as machine code) or indirectly (such as scripts) by the processor. For example, the instructions may be stored as computer code on the computer-readable medium. In that regard, the terms “instructions” and “programs” may be used interchangeably herein.
- The data may be retrieved, stored or modified by the processor in accordance with the instructions. For instance, although the system and method is not limited by any particular data structure, the data may be stored in computer registers, in a relational database as a table having a plurality of different fields and records, XML documents or flat files. The data may also be formatted in any computer-readable format.
- The processor may be any conventional processor, such as commercially available CPUs. Alternatively, the processor may be a dedicated device such as an ASIC. Although the electronic device may store the processor and memory within the same physical housing of the electronic device, it will be understood that the processor and memory may actually comprise multiple processors and memories that may or may not be stored within the same physical housing. For example, memory may be a hard drive or other storage media located in a housing different from that of
computer 110. For instance, the processor or memory may operate remotely from the electronic device and communicate wirelessly. - Once the electronic device is inserted into cavity 236, backing 140 may be re-attached to
base 130 using thefasteners -
FIG. 3 illustrates afront portion 335 of head-mountable viewer 110 that the user would place up against his or her face.FIG. 3 further showsfirst side arm 340 andsecond side arm 350, both side arms of which having afirst tab 342 and asecond tab 352 extending therefrom, respectively. For instance,first tab 342 andsecond tab 352 extend from cut-outs infirst side arm 340 andsecond side arm 350. It should understood that although first andsecond tabs second sidearms frame 120. For instance, first andsecond tabs frame 120. -
Front portion 335 ofbase 130 includes afirst bore 360 and asecond bore 370, both bores of which have afirst lens 362 and asecond lens 372, respectively, securely placed therein. The first andsecond lenses base 120 throughbores second lenses second lenses second bores mountable viewer 110 as having two bores and two lenses, the head-mountable viewer 110 is not restricted thereto. For example, head-mountable viewer 110 may include only a single bore with a single lens secured placed therein. Alternatively, any number of bores and lenses may be implemented, such as three, four, etc. - First and
second lenses first tab 342 may be operatively connected or attached tofirst lens 362 andsecond tab 352 may be operatively connected or attached tosecond lens 372. For instance,FIGS. 3 and 4 illustratefirst tab 342 pulled outward relative to frame 120, which in turn adjusted a position offirst lens 362 within a outer periphery ofbore 360.Arrow 444 ofFIG. 4 illustrates the directional movement offirst tab 342. - Referring to
FIG. 5 ,first tab 342 may be attached to a singleslidable member 580 thatfirst lens 362 is also attached to.Slidable member 580 may slide horizontally based on the preference of the user. In this regard, sincefirst tab 342 andfirst lens 362 are attached to theslidable member 580, this results in the corresponding or translatable movement betweenfirst tab 342 andfirst lens 362. It should be noted that the positioning offirst lens 362 is such that the positioning offirst lens 342 corresponds to bore 360.Slidable member 580 includes arecess 582 that receivesfirst lens 362. In this regard,first lens 362 may be attached to recess 582 via any fastening means, such as glue, tab and notch, staples, Velcro™, or any other method of securingfirst lens 362 toslidable member 580, with or withoutrecess 582. Recess 582 may alternatively be defined as a cut-out withinslidable member 580 to receivefirst lens 352. - It should be understood that although
slidable member 580 is illustrated as a single component, there may be multiple components that operatively connectfirst tab 342 withfirst lens 362. For instance,first tab 342 may be attached or fastened to an extension that is connected to a lens component that securely receives and fastens tofirst lens 362. Alternatively, the extension may be directly connected tofirst lens 362. In this regard, the extension causes any movement or adjustment offirst tab 342 to translate tofirst lens 362. As a further alternative,slidable member 580 may not be employed; rather,first lens 362 may only be secured to frame 120 withinfirst bore 360 andfirst tab 342 may be operatively connected or attached tofirst lens 362. In this scenario, any movement or adjustment offirst tab 342 may cause a corresponding movement or adjustment offirst lens 362, whetherslidable member 580 is employed or not. - It is understood that the components of
first side arm 340,first tab 342 andslidable member 580 also apply tosecond side arm 350,second tab 352 and the corresponding slidable member for thesecond lens 372 as well. In this regard, both lenses and sides of the head-mountable viewer may be identical and/or symmetrical in that they include, utilize, or operate similarly using the same or similar components. Alternatively, the internal components and operations of both sides may be different. - Referring back to
FIG. 4 ,first tab 342 is fully extended, which in turn positionedfirst lens 362 away from acentral portion 338 offrame 120. For example,FIGS. 3 and 4 illustratefirst lens 362 positioned at a location offirst bore 360 closer tofirst side arm 340. In this regard, byfirst tab 342 being pulled by the user away fromframe 120,slidable member 580 correspondingly moves or translates the positioning offirst lens 362, relative tofirst bore 360. As illustrated inFIG. 4 and by way of example only,first tab 342 is extended 5 centimeters (cm) from a surface offirst side arm 340. It should be noted that 5 cm is an example, and any extendable length offirst tab 342 is possible and may depend on, for example, the individual manufacturer's specifications or wishes.FIG. 6 is a close-up view offirst side arm 340 andfirst tab 342. - In addition,
FIG. 3 illustratessecond tab 352 pulled outward relative to frame 120, which in turn adjusts the positioning ofsecond lens 372 relative tosecond bore 370. For instance,second lens 372 has also been positioned away fromcentral portion 338 offrame 120 towardsecond side arm 350. In this regard,first tab 342 affects the positioning offirst lens 362 andsecond tab 352 affects the positioning ofsecond lens 372. First andsecond tabs second lenses first tab 342 may be fully extended whilesecond tab 352 is extended half-way, fully inserted, etc. - Referring to
FIGS. 7 and 8 , first andsecond tabs second lenses second lenses central portion 338 offrame 120. As shown inFIG. 8 ,first tab 342 has been pushed inward towardframe 120 compared to the pulled-away tab ofFIG. 4 . By way of example only,FIG. 8 illustrates thatfirst tab 342 has been pushed inward so that only 2 cm offirst tab 342 is exposed, which thereby adjustedfirst lens 362 to be positioned inward relative tofirst bore 360 towardcentral portion 338. It should be understood that first andsecond tabs second tabs second tabs - As discussed above, the distances of 2 cm and 5 cm are examples only, and first and
second tabs second tabs first tab 342 may be completely even with a base surface offirst side arm 340, which in turn would positionfirst lens 362 nearer tocentral portion 338. As another example, a fully extendedfirst tab 342 may expose, for example, 10 cm offirst tab 342. Other distances and exposures of first andsecond tabs - By the user being able to adjust the positioning of first and
second lenses - As another embodiment, a single bar may be used that is operatively attached to the first and second lenses. For instance, instead of
first tab 342 individually affecting the position offirst lens 362 andsecond tab 352 individually affecting the position ofsecond lens 372, a single bar or tab may be used that is operatively connected or attached to both the first and second lenses. In this regard, a first end of the single bar may extend out of thefirst side arm 340 and the second end may extend out of thesecond side arm 350. In this scenario, the user may push or pull the first end or the second end of the single bar to adjust the positioning of the first and second lenses. Since the single bar is operatively attached to both lenses, the single bar affects the positioning of both lenses relative to the bores. Alternatively, only one of the first or second ends may extend out of the first or second side arms. In this scenario, the user may only push, pull, or otherwise adjust the extending end to adjust the positioning of the single bar and thereby the positioning of the first and second lenses. As discussed above, the single bar may adjust any number of lenses, such as only a single lens, three lenses, or any number of multiple lenses. As discussed above with respect to first andsecond tabs frame 120, such as a top, bottom, corner, front, or back portion offrame 120. - In another embodiment, the tabs may affect any directional movement and adjustability of the lenses. For instance, the tabs may move in vertical, diagonal, lateral, or any directional movement, and thereby adjust the positioning of lenses accordingly. For instance, vertical movement of the tabs may adjust the lenses in a vertical direction as well. Diagonal movement of the tabs may allow the user to adjust the lenses in a diagonal direction that is best suited for him or her. As another example, if the user feels the lenses are too close or far from his or her face, the user may adjust the tabs in a lateral direction such that the tabs move closer or further from the face of the user. In this scenario, the lenses may move according to the lateral (i.e., closer and farther) movement of the tabs. The numerous directions that the tabs can adjust the lenses in may also apply to the single bar that controls multiple lenses discussed above. For instance, the single bar that is operatively attached to multiple lenses may also move in vertical, diagonal, lateral and any other directional movement.
- As another embodiment, additional tabs may be used to adjust additional components of head-
mountable viewer 110. For instance, a frame tab may be implemented similarly as discussed above with respect to first andsecond tabs frame 120 itself. As one example, a nose tab that adjusts the size and/or positioning of the nose cut-out. In this regard, the sides of the nose cut-out may contract or expand based on the preference of the individual user. In this regard, because some users may have larger noses than others, the user is able to adjust the size thereof. - As another example, a side arm tab may be implemented. In this scenario, the side arm tab may adjust the positioning of the first and second side arms of the
frame 120. For instance, the side arm tab may be attached to and adjust the side arms similarly as the first andsecond tabs second lenses frame 120 may include multiple side arm tabs in which each side arm tab controls an individual side arm. In this regard, because many users have different sized and shaped heads, the ability to be able to adjust the positioning of the side arms allows the user to better utilize the side arms to block the outside world that the user may see from his or her periphery vision. - As a further example, a frontal tab may be implemented that adjusts the
central base 130 offrame 120. For instance, referring to the figures, the frontal tab may adjust the positioning of thearea surrounding lenses second side arms second side arms - The present disclosure is advantageous because it allows any user to adjust a particular head-mountable viewer to their liking. Because many people of different ages may have different sized and shaped heads and faces, the ability to adjust components of the head-mountable viewer allows the user to comfortably and easily view virtual reality videos, games, etc. in a manner most fitted for them. Furthermore, because many users have different interpupillary distances the adjustability of the lenses allows for a more enjoyable experience for each unique user. In addition, as described above the user is not only able to adjust lenses that best suits their needs, but the user may also adjust side arms, a nose cut-out, frontal portions of the frame, and any other conceivable component of the frame of the head-mountable viewer that best fits their needs. This not only allows comfortable viewing, but it also allows the user to utilize the side arms so that the side arms reliably block out the surroundings that may result from the periphery vision of the user. The ability to adjust various components also allows users with glasses to adjust accordingly.
- Most of the foregoing alternative examples are not mutually exclusive, but may be implemented in various combinations to achieve unique advantages. As these and other variations and combinations of the features discussed above can be utilized without departing from the subject matter defined by the claims, the foregoing description of the embodiments should be taken by way of illustration rather than by way of limitation of the subject matter defined by the claims. In addition, the provision of the examples described herein, as well as clauses phrased as “such as,” “including” and the like, should not be interpreted as limiting the subject matter of the claims to the specific examples; rather, the examples are intended to illustrate only one of many possible embodiments. Further, the same reference numbers in different drawings can identify the same or similar elements.
