本申请涉及智能穿戴领域,尤其涉及一种头戴显示设备,以及一种该头戴显示设备的控制方法。
背景技术
随着虚拟现实技术(Virtual Reality,VR)和增强现实技术(Augmented Reality,AR)的发展,头戴显示设备也逐渐得到普及。头戴显示设备通常固持于用户的头部,并通过架设于用户鼻梁处来实现与用户眼部的准确定位,进而保证用户的观测效果。
但不同用户的鼻梁高度、大小均存在差异,且随着用户使用时间的推移,难以保证头戴显示设备始终保持与用户眼部的相对位置,容易造成用户观测效果不佳的缺陷。
发明内容
本申请的目的在于提供一种头戴显示设备及其控制方法,用以保证不同用户使用时获得相对较佳的观测效果。本申请包括如下技术方案:
第一方面,本申请涉及一种头戴显示设备控制方法,包括如下步骤:
利用眼动追踪技术识别用户的视线方向;
获得所述视线方向与所述头戴显示设备的平视方向之间的夹角;
若所述夹角超出预设的角度范围,则调整所述头戴显示设备的鼻托形状,以使所述头戴显示设备相对于用户的鼻梁移动,所述头戴显示设备的平视方向靠近所述视线方向。
本申请头戴显示设备控制方法先通过眼动追踪技术识别用户的视线方向,然后可以基于视线方向计算出其与头戴显示设备的平视方向之间的夹角。当用户的视线方向与预设的平视方向趋于一致时,也即当用户的视线方向与头戴显示设备的平视方向之间的夹角位于预设的角度范围之内时,可以保证到用户的观测效果。而当判断到用户的视线方向与头戴显示设备的平视方向之间夹角超出预设角度范围时,可以判断到头戴显示设备的佩戴姿态偏高或偏低,可能影响到用户的观测体验。由此,本申请控制方法还通过调整头戴显示设备鼻托的形状,来带动头戴显示设备相对于用户的鼻梁移动,使得头戴显示设备的平视方向靠近用户的视线方向,进而保证用户的观测效果。
本申请头戴显示设备控制方法可以保证不同脸型的用户均获得相对一致的观测体验,并且通过在用户持续使用头戴显示设备的过程中周期性的识别用户视线方向,还可以持续对头戴显示设备进行调节,以保证用户的长期使用体验。
在一种可能的实现方式中,调整头戴显示设备的鼻托形状,以使头戴显示设备相对于用户的鼻梁移动后,用户视线方向与头戴显示设备的平视方向之间的夹角处于角度范围内。
在本实现方式中,使得用户的视线方向与头戴显示设备的平视方向之间的夹角位于角度范围之内,可以将用户的视线方向调整为与预设的平视方向趋于一致,达到更好的观测效果。
在一种可能的实现方式中,在利用眼动追踪技术识别用户的视线方向之前,头戴显示设备还用于检测到启动指令。
在本实现方式中,头戴显示设备控制方法应用于其启动使用或使用过程中,因此本控制方法也需要在检测到启动指令之后,才得以实施可开展。
在一种可能的实现方式中,头戴显示设备包括壳体,鼻托包括调节件,调节件能够相对于壳体向外伸缩,调整头戴显示设备的鼻托形状,包括:
控制调节件相对于壳体的伸缩量以改变鼻托的形状。

与本申请第一方面提供的控制方法类似,本申请头戴显示设备可以利用眼动追踪装置识别用户视线方向;然后利用控制装置计算视线方向与头戴显示设备的平视方向之间的夹角,并在夹角超出预设的角度范围时,调整鼻托的形状,并带动头戴显示设备相对于用户的鼻梁移动,使得头戴显示设备的平视方向靠近视线方向。本申请头戴显示设备也可以将用户的视线方向调整为与其平视方向趋于一致,进而保证用户的观测效果。

在一种可能的实现方式中,调节件的数量为两个,两个调节件分别贴合于用户鼻梁的两 侧,电机位于两个调节件之间。
在本实现方式中,将电机设置于两个调节件之间,可以通过电机同时驱动两个调节件,以同时实现两个调节件相对于壳体的伸缩动作,简化了鼻托的结构,并降低头戴显示设备的制作成本。

具体实施方式
下面将结合本申请实施例中的附图,对本申请实施例中的技术方案进行描述,显然,所描述的实施例仅仅是本申请的一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本申请中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造性劳动的前提下所获得的所有其它实施例,都属于本申请保护的范围。
图1示意了本申请涉及的头戴显示设备200的应用场景。头戴显示设备200包括显示部210和固定部220。固定部220用于将显示部210固持于用户头部,并使得显示部210位于用户双眼位置,实现显示效果。在图1的示意中,固定部220采用了绑带的形式。而在另一些实施例中,固定部220还可以采用类似眼镜镜脚的形式,或采用头盔的形式将显示部210固持于用户头部。其中当固定部220采用头盔形式时,固定部220和显示部210还可以采用一体成型的结构。
图2示意了本申请涉及的头戴显示设备200中显示部210的内部组件。显示部210中可以包括壳体211、显示装置212、控制装置213、眼动追踪装置214以及鼻托100。壳体211用于提供显示部210的外形结构,其余组件均收容于壳体211的内部,并受壳体211的保护。显示装置212用于为用户提供显示画面。控制装置213与显示装置212电连接,用于控制显示装置212所显示的画面。眼动追踪系统214也与控制装置213电连接,用于利用眼动追踪技术识别用户的视线方向。在一些实施例中,控制装置213可以包括与显示装置212电连接的部分,以及包括与眼动追踪系统214电连接的部分,两部分相互独立布置于壳体211内部。在另一些实施例中,控制装置213也可以为一个整体,本申请对控制装置213的具体实现方式不做特别限定。
图3示意了壳体211的部分结构与鼻托100的配合示意。在图3的示意中,鼻托100位于壳体211的中部偏下位置,用于与用户的鼻梁配合,也即头戴显示设备200可以通过鼻托100架设于用户鼻梁上。因为鼻梁与双眼的位置相对较近,且鼻梁与双眼的位置相对固定,因此通过鼻托100与鼻梁的配合,便于控制到头戴显示设备200与用户眼部之间的相对位置。鼻托100至少部分与壳体211活动连接,并可以伸出壳体211之外,也即鼻托100在伸出壳体211之外的部分为可变形结构。可以理解的,因为鼻托100与用户鼻梁贴合,在鼻托100的形状改变时,其能够改变壳体211相对于用户鼻梁的姿态,进而可以调整到本申请头戴显示设备200与用户眼部的相对位置,实现调整用户观测角度的效果。
请分别参见图4a、图4b以及图4c所示的本申请头戴显示设备200的应用场景示意。头戴显示设备200中预设有平视方向A0,该平视方向A0对应头戴显示设备200的显示装置212设置。当用户的眼部与该平视方向A0齐平视,用户接收到的显示装置212的显示效果较好。在图4a的示意中,还标注了用户眼部的视线方向A1,且因为图4a中显示装置212与用户的眼部齐平,则用户的视线方向A1与头戴显示设备200中预设的平视方向A0相互重合。而在图4b和图4c的示意中,头戴显示设备200的显示装置212分别位于用户眼部的上方和下方,此时用户的视线方向A1依然朝向显示装置212发出,但因为显示装置212的位置偏移,使得观测显示装置212较好的平视方向A0也随显示装置212发生偏转。在图4b和图4c的示意中,用户视线方向A1与预设的平视方向A0之间形成了夹角α1和夹角α2。可以理解的,在图4a的示意中,用户视线方向A1与预设的平视方向A0之间可以视为夹角为0的情况。在图4a的场景下,用户使用本申请头戴显示设备200的观测效果最佳。
造成图4b和图4c的情况很多,譬如前述中提到的不同用户脸型不同造成的鼻梁高度不同,在统一的鼻托100的形状下,可能形成用户眼部与显示装置212之间的相对位置差异。或者,在出现用户佩戴不当,头戴显示设备200相对于用户头部偏移的场景下,也可能形成 图4b或图4c的现象。可以理解的,当图4b和图4c中的夹角α1或夹角α2过大时,可能造成用户观测体检较差的现象。
图5示意了本申请涉及头戴显示设备200的一种控制方法流程图。本申请头戴显示设备控制方法具体包括如下步骤:
S10、利用眼动追踪技术识别用户视线方向A1;
S20、获得视线方向A1与头戴显示设备200的平视方向A0之间的夹角α;
S30、若夹角α超出预设的角度范围,则调整头戴显示设备200的鼻托100的形状,带动头戴显示设备200相对于用户的鼻梁移动,头戴显示设备200的平视方向A0靠近视线方向A1。
具体的,眼动追踪装置214设置于壳体211上,并朝向用户眼部设置,用于对用户的眼部进行追踪。请同步参见图6所示本申请头戴显示设备200对可变形的鼻托100的控制逻辑示意。在图6的示意中,控制装置213与眼动追踪装置214电性连接,控制装置213接眼动追踪装置214检测到的信号,可以实时解算出用户当前的视线方向A1。然后,基于眼动追踪装置214相对于显示装置212的位置,还可以解算出(即获得)用户视线方向A1与头戴显示设备200的平视方向A0之间的夹角α。可以理解的,对于用户当前视线方向A1的解算,和/或夹角α的解算,也可以在眼动追踪装置214上完成,或由眼动追踪装置214与控制装置213协同完成。
眼动追踪技术是通过定位瞳孔位置,获取坐标以测量被试者眼睛注视点的技术。该技术属于一种“非入侵式”检测技术。在图6的示意中,眼动追踪装置214包括有感光单元2141和红外单元2142。红外单元2142可以朝向用户眼部发出红外光(通常为近红外光),感光单元2141则记录交互过程,并基于采集到的经眼部反射的红外光在眼部的位置,通过分析推断出用户的视线方向A1。其中,感光单元2141可以采用摄像头等器件实现。
本控制方法在确定到夹角α的数值之后,可以将夹角α与头戴显示设备200中预设的角度范围进行比较,以判断当前用户的视线方向A1对于平视方向A0是否偏移出预设的范围。可以理解的,本申请预设的角度范围,是基于头戴显示设备200所预设的平视方向A0设置的。即以平视方向A0为基准,在相对于平视方向A0向上或向下偏移一定的角度范围之内,都可以保证用户接受到较好的观测体验。而当用户视线A1向上或向下超出该角度范围时,用户的视线方向A1与显示装置212之间的角度相对倾斜量较大,用户的观测体验也随之下降。对于本申请头戴显示设备200或本申请控制方法而言,预设的角度范围可以适当调整,例如预设角度范围定义在±5°,或预设角度范围定义在±10°等,具体可以基于显示装置212的特性来设定。
另一方面,预设角度范围也可以采用非对称的方式设定。例如当头戴显示设备200相对于用户的眼部偏高时,可以定义预设角度范围的上限在+10°左右;而当头戴显示设备200相对于用户的眼部偏低时,可以定义预设角度范围的下限在-5°左右。因为,当头戴显示设备200相对于用户的眼部偏低时,头戴显示设备200的重量会相对集中于用户的鼻梁位置,造成较大的压力,影响用户的佩戴舒适性。因此,对于角度范围的上限数值和下限数值区别设置,在提升用户观测效果的同时,还能保证用户的佩戴舒适性。
由此,本控制方法在确定到夹角α的数值超出预设的角度范围之后,可以判断到用户当前的观测效果不如预期。控制装置213可以基于监测得到的夹角α的数值和方向,控制可变形的鼻托100相对于壳体211变形,即控制装置213调整鼻托100伸出壳体211的尺寸,进而调整到头戴显示设备200相对于用户鼻梁的姿态,或描述为调整头戴显示设备200相对于 用户的鼻梁产生位移,使得夹角α变小,也即使得头戴显示设备200的平视方向A0靠近视线方向A1。在一些视线方式中,还可以控制头戴显示设备200的平视方向A0在调整后位于预设的角度范围之内,也即使得夹角α位于角度范围之内。在一些进一步的实施例中,还可以将用户的视线方向A1调整至与预设的平视方向A0齐平的状态,以保证用户获得较好的观测效果。
可以理解的,当确定到夹角α的方向时,控制装置213可以基于该方向对应调整鼻托100的变形方向。如,当确定到头戴显示设备200偏高时,控制装置213可以控制鼻托100朝向壳体211回缩,调小鼻托100相对于壳体211的伸缩量,进而降低头戴显示设备200的高度,使得头戴显示设备200相对于用户鼻梁下移,来将夹角α调回至预设的角度范围之内;而当确定到头戴显示被200偏低时,控制装置213可以控制鼻托100背离壳体211伸出,调大鼻托100相对于壳体211的伸缩量,进而升高头戴显示设备200的高度,使得头戴显示设备200相对于用户鼻梁上升,以将夹角α调回至预设的角度范围之内。
在图6的示意中,控制装置213还与鼻托100通信连接。控制装置213中包括处理电路2131和驱动电路2132。其中处理电路2131可以实现上述的解算用户视线方向A1、解算夹角α、以及判断夹角α是否超出预设角度范围等工作。同时,处理电路2131还可以用于在判断到夹角α超出预设角度范围时,计算鼻托100需要进行调整的变形量。然后,处理电路2131可以基于该变形量控制驱动电路2132对鼻托100进行控制,以使得鼻托100按照解算得到的变形量产生形变,并最终将夹角α调整回预设角度范围之内。
可以理解的,在一种实现方式中,在利用眼动追踪技术识别用户的视线方向A1之前,头戴显示设备200还用于检测到启动指令。也即,本申请控制方法的应用场景,可以为用户开始启用头戴显示设备200时,也可以为用户使用头戴显示设备200的过程中。因此本控制方法也需要在检测到启动指令之后,才得以实施可开展。本申请控制方法通过眼动追踪装置214对用户眼部的持续监测,可以在用户使用头戴显示设备200的全过程中任意时刻实施,进而保证用户在使用头戴显示设备200的过程中持续获得较佳的观测效果。相较于现有技术中多采用手动调节头戴显示设备的方案,本申请头戴显示设备200的控制方法精度更高,可作用的时段更长,调节过程中也不会对用户观测造成太大影响。本申请头戴显示设备200也因为上述的方案设置,可以保证用户在使用过程中持续获得较佳的观测效果。请参见图7所示的本申请头戴显示设备200中鼻托100的分解示意图。在一种实施例中,鼻托100包括电机110和调节件120。电机110与调节件120传动连接,且电机110固定于壳体211内。壳体211对应调节件120设有缺口2111,电机110可以驱动调节件120相对于壳体211伸缩,并从缺口2111处伸出壳体211。调节件120可以直接或间接与用户的鼻梁接触并形成支撑。电机110通过驱动调节件120相对于壳体211的伸出量,以实现鼻托100相对于壳体211的变形。
由此,本申请控制方法中步骤S30“若夹角α超出预设的角度范围,则调整头戴显示设备200的鼻托100的形状,带动头戴显示设备200相对于用户的鼻梁移动,头戴显示设备200的平视方向A0靠近视线方向A1。”可以为:
S30a、若夹角α超出预设的角度范围,则控制调节件120相对于壳体211的伸缩量以改变鼻托的形状,调整头戴显示设备200的鼻托100的形状,带动头戴显示设备200相对于用户的鼻梁移动,头戴显示设备200的平视方向A0靠近视线方向A1。
具体的,在本实施例中,调节件120需要相对于壳体211活动连接,以使得电机110在驱动调节件120运动时,调节件120相对于壳体211的伸缩量得以控制。调节件120相对于壳体211的活动连接可以为滑动连接和/或转动连接的方式。本申请头戴显示设备200并不限 制调节件120相对于壳体211的具体连接方式。
请结合图8,在图7和图8的示意中,调节件120与壳体211采用转动连接的方式固定。具体的,壳体211上还开设有定位孔2112,鼻托100还设有转轴130。定位孔2112的内径与转轴130的外径相匹配,以将转轴130固定于壳体211中。如图9所示,调节件120沿自身长度方向包括相对的第一端121和第二端122。其中第一端121与电机110传动连接,第二端122则开设有通孔124。通孔123的内径与定位孔2112的内径大致相等,也即通孔123的内径与转轴130的外径也相互匹配。转轴130还同时穿过通孔123中,实现调节件120与壳体211之间的转动连接。
而在第一端121一侧,则设有与电机110配合传动的传动部123。请同步参见图10。电机110的输出轴111上设有锥齿轮112,调节件120的传动部123则构造为与锥齿轮112形状匹配的齿弧结构。电机110的输出轴转动时,锥齿轮112随输出轴111同步转动。通过锥齿轮112与传动部123的齿弧结构啮合,可以带动调节件120绕转轴130转动。进一步的,调节件120还设有弧面125,该弧面125连接于第一端121与第二端122之间,并朝向背离壳体211的一侧设置。弧面125可用于与用户的鼻梁贴合接触,也即鼻托100通过调节件120的弧面125与用户鼻梁的贴合接触,以实现对头戴显示设备200的支撑。
由此,在本申请头戴显示设备200中鼻托100变形时,电机110接到控制装置213发出的指令,通过输出轴111带动锥齿轮112转动,并带动调节件120相对于壳体211转动。调节件120从缺口2111处伸入或收回壳体211,此时调节件120的弧面125相对于壳体211的距离也相应变化。壳体211得以相对于弧面125贴合的鼻梁实现位移,进而调整到头戴显示设备200相对于用户眼部的高度。
也即,对应到本申请控制方法,调整头戴显示设备200的鼻托100形状,还包括:
控制电机110绕第一旋向转动,以使得调节件120相对于壳体211伸出,弧面125朝向远离壳体211的方向转动以改变鼻托100形状;或控制电机110绕第二旋向转动,以使得调节件120相对于壳体211收回,弧面125朝向壳体211的方向转动以改变鼻托100的形状,其中第二旋向与第二旋向互为反向。
在本实施例中,鼻托100通过调节件120相对于壳体211的转动动作实现变形。电机110对调节件120的转动驱动,其部分位移量(即头戴显示设备200相对于鼻梁方向的分量)被转化为头戴显示设备200相对于鼻梁的位移动作。也即当调节件120采用转动连接的方式与壳体211连接时,在电机110行程相同的情况下,其对头戴显示设备200位移的调整距离,相较于调节件120采用滑动连接的方式与壳体211连接时可以实现的调整距离更小。这样的连接方式有助于控制电机110的位移调整精度,同时也降低了对驱动电路2132的控制精度需求,有利于降低本申请头戴显示设备200的成本。
可以理解的,在调节件120与壳体211之间采用滑动连接的实施例中,在电机110行程相同的情况下,滑动连接的调节件120可以实现的壳体211的位移量更大,也能扩展鼻托100对头戴显示设备200的位移调整范围。两种连接方式都可以实现较好的调整效果。另一方面,对于电机110与调节件120之间的传动方式,也不仅限于锥齿轮112与齿弧的配合方式,其它传动方式如蜗轮传动、凸轮传动、连杆机构等,都可能应用于本申请头戴显示设备200的鼻托100中,用于实现电机110与调节件120之间的动力传递,也不影响本申请头戴显示设备200或控制方法的功能实现。
请看回图8。在图8的示意中,调节件120的数量为两个,两个调节件120对称设置,可以提供两个相对的弧面125。可以理解的,图8实施例中两个调节件120可以分列用户鼻梁 的两侧,并通过各自的弧面125与用户鼻梁实现较好的贴合和支撑效果。电机110则位于两个调节件120之间,电机110朝向相对两侧分别伸出一输出轴111,且每个输出轴111上均设有一个锥齿轮112。分列电机110两侧的锥齿轮112各自与一个调节件120的传动部123配合,实现电机110的动力输出。
对应到上述控制方法,控制电机110绕第一旋向转动,可以包括控制电机110的两个输出轴111同步绕第一旋向转动;以及,控制电机110绕第二旋向转动,可以包括控制电机110的两个输出轴111同步绕第二旋向转动。
可以理解的,电机110同步带动两个输出轴111转动,并使得两个锥齿轮112不同带动两个调节件120分别相对于壳体211转动,可以使得相对设置的两个调节件120同步相对于壳体211伸出或收回。头戴显示设备200在鼻托100变形的过程中,同时受到两个调节件120的支撑作用,进而使得头戴显示设备200相对于用户鼻梁的位移更平稳,且位移过程中不会对用户的观测体验形成太大影响。
另一方面,在图8的示意中,调节件120与电机110之间的位置,可以设置为调节件120的初始位置。也即,电机110的锥齿轮112位于调节件120的传动部123的中部处。由此,电机110可以驱动锥齿轮112沿相反的两个方向转动,其可以转动的行程L1和L2可以趋于一致(如图11所示)。也即,当电机110的锥齿轮112位于调节件120的传动部123的中部位置时,鼻托100朝向两个方向的变形量趋于一致,可以使得头戴显示设备200相对于用户鼻梁向上或向下位移的距离也一致。
而在另一些实施例中,请参见图12。电机110的锥齿轮112还可以位于调节件120的传动部123靠下的位置,以使得电机110驱动锥齿轮112向下转动,并使得调节件120下移的位移距离L2’,大于电机110驱动锥齿轮112向上转动,并使得调节件120上移的位移距离L1’(参见图13)。因为头戴显示设备200在使用过程中通常会相对于用户的眼部下滑,因此放大电机110能够驱动调节件120下移的位移量,可以使得调节件120抬高头戴显示设备200的位移量更大,满足用户长时间佩戴头戴显示设备200时的使用需求。
图14示意了本申请头戴显示设备200中鼻托100另一种实施例的结构。在本实施例中,电机110的数量也为两个(图14中示意为第一电机110a和第二电机110b),且两个电机110各自与一个调节件120(图14中示意为第一调节件120a和第二调节件120b)传动连接,以单独控制一侧调节件120相对于壳体211的伸缩状态。具体的,两个电机110并排设置,并且沿同一方向相背的伸出有输出轴111,每个输出轴111上设有一个锥齿轮112,且每个锥齿轮112用于与一个调节件120的传动部123配合。
控制装置213的驱动电路2132则分别与两个电机110电性连接,并用于分别驱动电机110的工作。也即,驱动电路2132可以单独驱动一个电机110工作,以使得单侧的调节件120相对于壳体211伸出或收回(如图15所示);驱动电路2132还可以同时驱动两个电机110同步工作,以使得两侧的调节件120同时相对于壳体211伸出或收回(如图16所示);在一些场景下,驱动电路2132还可以分别驱动两个电机110各自工作,以使得两个调节件120各自相对于壳体211伸出或收回,且两个调节件120的伸缩量不相同(如图17所示)。由此,本申请控制方法中步骤S30“若夹角α超出预设的角度范围,则调整头戴显示设备200的鼻托100的形状,带动头戴显示设备200相对于用户的鼻梁移动,头戴显示设备的平视方向A0靠近视线方向A1。”,还可以为:
S30b、若夹角α超出预设的角度范围,则控制至少一个调节件120相对于壳体211的伸缩量以改变鼻托100的形状,带动头戴显示设备200相对于用户的鼻梁移动,头戴显示设备 200的平视方向A0靠近视线方向A1。
对于本实施例而言,控制两侧的调节件120各自独立运动,可以对应到用户佩戴本申请头戴显示设备200左右高低不一致的场景。也即,用户在使用本申请头戴显示设备200时,其并不能保证每次佩戴头戴显示设备200的姿态均正确,难免出现头戴显示设备200相对于用户鼻梁左右高低不一致、佩戴姿态倾斜的现象。此时通过眼动追踪装置214的监测,结合眼动追踪装置214的自身坐标,可以判断到头戴显示设备200存在倾斜的现象。此时通过单独调整一侧的调节件120相对于壳体211的伸出量,可以将头戴显示设备200的单边升高或降低,保证头戴显示设备200处于左右相对平齐的状态,也能提升用户的观测效果。
其中在图17所示的场景中,两个电机110还分别驱动一侧的调节件120相对于壳体211伸出,另一侧的调节件120则相对于壳体211收回。这样的调整方式相对于两个调节件120同步伸缩的方式,鼻托100的可变形量更大,鼻托100能够实现的头戴显示设备200的位移量也相应增大,也即两个调节件120单独受控时,头戴显示设备200相对于用户鼻梁的位移行程也相应增大,可以实现头戴显示设备200更大范围的姿态调整。
请参见本申请头戴显示设备控制方法另一种实施例,具体包括如下步骤:
S10c、利用眼动追踪技术分别识别用户两个眼球的第一视线方向B1(左眼球的视线方向)和第二视线方向B2(右眼球的实现方向);
S20c、分别获得两个视线方向与预设的平视方向B0之间的第一夹角β1和第二夹角β2;
S30c、若第一夹角β1和/或第二夹角β2超出预设的角度范围,则控制至少一个调节件120相对于壳体11的伸缩量以改变鼻托100的形状,带动头戴显示设备200相对于用户的鼻梁移动,使得头戴显示设备200的平视方向B0朝向第一视线方向B1和第二视线方向B2靠近。
具体的,请同步参见图18的示意。在本实施例中,第一视线方向B1和第二视线方向B2可以对应到上述实施例中的视线方向A1,第一视线方向B1对应到用户双眼中左眼球的视线方向,第二视线方向B2则对应到用户双眼中右眼球的视线方向。而对于显示装置212而言,其对于两个眼球的平视方向B0是一致的,此处预设的平视方向B0也可以对应到上述的平视方向A0。通过眼动追踪装置214的监测,可以分别获得第一视线方向B1相对于平视方向B0的第一夹角β1,以及第二视线方向B2相对于平视方向B0的第二夹角β2。可以理解的,此处的第一夹角β1和第二夹角β2也可以对应到上述的夹角α。
眼动追踪装置214可以交替的对用户双眼进行眼动追踪,进而分别确定到第一夹角β1和第二夹角β2。在一些实施例中,眼动追踪装置214还可以包括两组感光单元2141和红外单元2142,每一组感光单元2141和红外单元2142用于监测一侧眼球的视线方向,也即眼动追踪系统214可以同时分别对两侧眼球进行眼动追踪识别,进确定到第一夹角β1和第二夹角β2。对用户双眼视线方向的分别识别,可以对应到上述头戴显示设备200佩戴偏移的场景。此时,以为显示装置212也随头戴显示设备200出现左右高低不一致的现象,用户的双眼之间实际存在视线方向的差异,也即第一夹角β1和第二夹角β2的数值不同。
然后,当判断到第一夹角β1和第二夹角β2中任一夹角超出预设的角度范围时,本申请控制方法可以通过控制该超出预设角度范围一侧的调节件120伸出头戴显示设备200的尺寸,来对该侧的鼻托100的形状进行调节,进而可以将该侧的壳体211升高或降低,使得该侧的夹角位于预设角度范围之内。
示例性的,请参见图19的示意。控制装置213可以包括第一驱动电路2132a和第二驱动电路2132b,其中第一驱动电路2132a与第一电机110a(即第一夹角β1一侧的电机110)电性连接,并用于控制第一电机110a对第一调节件120a(即第一夹角β1一侧的调节件120) 的运动控制。第二驱动电路2132b则与第二电机110b(即第二夹角β2一侧的电机110)电性连接,并用于控制第二电机110b对第二调节件120b(即第二夹角β2一侧的调节件120)的运动控制。
也即,对应到本申请控制方法,若用户左眼球的第一视线方向B1与右眼球的第二视线方向B2不同,则调整头戴显示设备200的鼻托100的形状,还包括:
分别调整第一调节件120a和第二调节件120b相对于壳体211的伸缩量以改变鼻托100的形状。例如,当判断到第一夹角β1低于预设角度范围,而第二夹角β2位于预设角度范围之内时,通过本控制方法可以判断到头戴显示设备200相对于用户眼部呈现为倾斜的姿态。此时,可以控制第一电机110a转动,将第一调节件120a更多的伸出壳体211,进而抬高第一夹角β1一侧的壳体211,使得第一夹角β1变小,并位于预设的角度范围之内。此时,第二夹角β2依然可能位于预设角度范围之内,则用户双眼的夹角均可以位于预设角度范围之内,保证了用户的观测效果。
需要提出的是,当第一夹角β1变小时,第二夹角β2也会随之变化,此时可能造成第二夹角β2超出预设的角度范围。在此场景中,在控制第一电机110a转动完成之后,还需要对第二夹角β2进行检测(或称为复核)。并在第二夹角β2超出预设角度范围时,启动第二电机110b转动,调节第二调节件120a,使得第二夹角β2重新位于预设角度范围之内。如此反复,保证第一夹角β1和第二夹角β2均位于预设角度范围之内时,可以保证用户的观测效果。
本申请实施例对用户双眼的分别监测,并对两个调节件120分别进行调整,也可以解决上述头戴显示设备200呈倾斜姿态的问题。另一方面,对于用户而言,存在一定比例的用户鼻梁左右高度不一致的现象。也即当用户正确佩戴本申请头戴显示设备200时,也可能存在因用户左右鼻梁高度不一致,而造成的双眼视线方向(第一视线方向B1和第二视线方向B2)不一致的现象,进而可能导致用户一侧眼球的观测效果不佳。通过本控制方法的实施,同样可以提升用户的观测效果。
在一种实施例中,在步骤S30c“若第一夹角β1和/或第二夹角β2超出预设的角度范围,则控制至少一个调节件120相对于壳体11的伸缩量以改变鼻托100的形状,带动头戴显示设备200相对于用户的鼻梁移动,使得头戴显示设备200的平视方向B0朝向第一视线方向B1和第二视线方向B2靠近”,还可以包括:
S30d、若第一夹角β1和/或第二夹角β2超出预设的角度范围,当左眼球的第一视线方向B1与头戴显示设备200的平视方向B0之间的第一夹角β1,大于右眼球的第二视线方向B2与头戴显示设备200的平视方向B0之间的第二夹角β2时,控制第一调节件120a相对于壳体211的伸缩量以改变鼻托100的形状;或
当左眼球的第一视线方向B1与头戴显示设备200的平视方向B0之间的第一夹角β1,小于右眼球的第二视线方向B2与头戴显示设备200的平视方向B0之间的第二夹角β2时,控制第二调节件120b相对于壳体211的伸缩量以改变鼻托100的形状。
在本实施例中,对应到第一夹角β1和第二夹角β2均超出预设的角度范围的场景。当第一调节件120a一侧的第一夹角β1相对于第二夹角β2更大时,可以仅对第一调节件120a单独进行调整,以改变鼻托100的形状并提升用户观测效果。因为第一调节件120a的调整过程中,第二调节件120b一侧的第二夹角β2也会相应变化,因此可能省去对第二调节件120b的调整操作,可能使得第二夹角β2也随第一调节件120a的运动而位于预设角度范围之内,简化了本方法的控制逻辑。
反之,当第二夹角β2相对于第一夹角β1更大时,也可以仅对第二调节件120b单独进 行调整,可能使得第一夹角β1也随第二调节件120b的运动而位于预设角度范围之内,简化了本方法的控制逻辑。
可以理解的,本申请头戴显示设备控制方法中各实施例的展开,是基于本申请头戴显示设备200中各个实施例同步实现的。因此本申请头戴显示设备200可以实现的各种功能,均可以对应应用到本申请头戴显示设备200中得到实施。反之,本申请头戴显示设备控制方法可以实现的各种功能,也都可以应用于本申请头戴显示设备200中,二者互为补充。
以上描述,仅为本申请的具体实施例,但本申请的保护范围并不局限于此,任何熟悉本技术领域的技术人员在本申请揭露的技术范围内,可轻易想到变化或替换,例如减少或添加结构件,改变结构件的形状等,都应涵盖在本申请的保护范围之内;在不冲突的情况下,本申请的实施例及实施例中的特征可以相互组合。因此,本申请的保护范围应以权利要求的保护范围为准。
