Definitions

  • the invention relates to an augmented reality display or a head-up display.
  • These displays allow a user to view their surroundings as well as projected images.
  • the projected images can be overlaid on the real world perceived by the user.
  • Other applications for these displays include video games and wearable devices, such as glasses.
  • Some devices can provide a stereoscopic display for the user, such that a slightly different image is provided to left and right eyes.
  • These displays can provide three- dimensional depth cues in the augmented reality image, based on convergence.
  • the focal plane is often fixed, meaning that the viewer does not have a true three-dimensional experience.
  • Figure 1 shows a system embodying a similar operational principle.
  • a projector 1 is provided for creating a collimated input image.
  • the projector 1 is arranged to project light into a glass waveguide 2.
  • Light from the projector is coupled into the waveguide by a diffraction grating 3.
  • the light then travels within the waveguide 2 by total internal reflection.
  • the light is coupled out of the waveguide 2 by another diffraction grating 4 so that it can be viewed by a user 5.
  • the gratings 3, 4 are arranged to operate in reflection.
  • the first grating 3 is provided on the opposite surface of the waveguide 2 to the surface through which input light is projected.
  • the second grating 4 is provided on the opposite surface of the waveguide 2 to the first grating 3. In this way, the second grating 4 can reflectively diffract light in order to couple it out of the waveguide 2 and towards the viewer 5.
  • a concave lens 6 with a variable focal length is provided between the waveguide 2 and the viewer 5.
  • the focal length of the concave lens 6 can be adjusted in order to control the perceived position of the focal plane 7 of the projected light.
  • the purpose of the concave lens 6 is to adjust the position of the focal plane 7 of the projected light.
  • light from the physical world will also pass through the concave lens 6, and therefore an additional lens 8 is required to compensate its distortion effects.
  • a convex lens 8 with a variable focal length is provided on the opposite side of the waveguide 2 to the concave lens 6. The focal length of the convex lens 8 is adjusted synchronously with the concave lens 6 so that there is a neutral effect on light from objects in the real world.
  • the lenses 6, 8 in Figure 1 typically introduce chromatic aberration effects, since the angles of refraction are dependent on the wavelength of light. These effects require correction through the use of additional lenses (not shown). This leads to a heavy, complex and costly optical system.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide an improved augmented reality display which permits adjustment of the focal plane of projected light.
  • a display system for use in an augmented reality display, the system comprising: a projector arranged to project light for augmenting a viewer's perception of a scene; a mirror; and a coupler arranged to receive light from the projector and direct it towards the mirror; wherein the mirror is configured to receive light from the coupler and reflect it towards the viewer, and wherein the mirror is deformable in order to adjust the position of the perceived focal plane of the reflected light.
  • the display system can provide augmented reality with a changeable virtual conjugate distance, at low cost and without introducing any chromatic aberration.
  • This is possible because the position of the perceived focal plane can be adjusted by changing the reflection conditions at the mirror. The angles of reflection are the same for all wavelengths so that no chromatic aberration is introduced.
  • the mirror is at least partially transmissive for light received from the scene.
  • the augmented reality display may be used to overlay light from the projector on light received from real-world objects in the scene.
  • the mirror may also be only partially reflective for light received from the coupler.
  • the coupler is preferably configured to direct light away from the viewer.
  • the coupler may re-direct light from the projector in a direction that is along the viewer's line of sight, but away from the viewer.
  • the coupler may be arranged to direct light tangentially to the viewer.
  • the system may include a waveguide for receiving light from the projector, such that projected light can advance in the waveguide by total internal reflection.
  • a waveguide may be desirable in a head-up display system. In this way the projector can be provided to one side of the viewer's field of view, and the projected light can be carried by the waveguide into the desired position in the field of view.
  • the coupler may be a diffraction grating for coupling light out of the waveguide and towards the mirror. Preferably light is coupled in a direction that is along the viewer's line of sight, but away from the viewer.
  • the coupler may be a beam splitter which can receive light from the projector and couple it towards the mirror.
  • the beam splitter may be reflective or transmissive for light from the projector, depending on the operational set-up.
  • a beam splitter may be useful in a free-air augmented reality system.
  • the projector may be arranged to input polarised light and the coupler may be polarisation sensitive. In this way the coupler can process light from the projector and towards the mirror with high efficiency.
  • the coupler is a beam splitter it may be arranged to operate with near 100% efficiency if all of the received light has a particular polarisation.
  • a waveplate may be positioned between the coupler and the mirror, for transforming the polarisation of light that passes through it.
  • light may be directed through a quarter-wave plate once by the coupler and once by the mirror, so that linearly polarised light from the projector experiences a 90 degree shift in polarisation angle. In this way, when light is received back at the coupler from the mirror it may have a rotated angle of polarisation.
  • the effect of the coupler on light received from the mirror is opposite to its effect on light received from the projector.
  • the coupler is initially reflective then it may be transmissive following polarisation modification, and vice-versa.
  • the display system includes a controller for sending instructions to the deformable mirror.
  • the controller may be under direct control of the viewer so that they can adjust the perceived focal plane of the projected light. In this way the user may be able to adjust the perceived position of the focal plane until it is in a comfortable position.
  • a camera system may be provided for determining a position of at least one object in the scene, and the controller may be configured to instruct the deformable mirror to adjust the position of the perceived focal plane of the reflected light so that it is approximately equal to the position determined by the camera system. In this way the system may automatically adjust the position of the focal plane of the projected light based on the distance from the viewer to an object in the scene.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un affichage à réalité augmentée. L'appareil comporte un projecteur (11) servant à créer une image d'entrée collimatée. La lumière peut être émise dans un guide d'ondes (12) dans lequel elle peut se propager par réflexion interne totale. La lumière est couplée hors du guide d'ondes (12) par un réseau de diffraction (14) qui éloigne par diffraction la lumière d'un observateur (15). Un miroir déformable (18) partiellement réfléchissant est disposé de l'autre côté du guide d'ondes (12) par rapport à l'observateur (15). Le miroir (18) est généralement agencé pour adopter une forme sphérique ou parabolique et le rayon de courbure peut être modifié de sorte que le miroir (18) puisse altérer la position perçue du plan focal (17) pour la lumière projetée. Le miroir (18) réfléchit la lumière à des angles égaux, indépendamment de sa longueur d'onde. Ainsi, le système optique et le miroir (18) peuvent constituer un plan focal réglable (17) pour la lumière projetée sans introduire d'effets d'aberration chromatique.
