Abstract:     A visual display device is provided for delivering a generated image, preferably combinable with environment light, to the eye of a user. The device is lightweight and compact but yields a high quality image. In one embodiment, a shroud protects from stray light and holds optical elements in desired alignment. In one embodiment an image generator is masked by at least two masks to provide for a high quality image without waste. In one embodiment, a removably mounted shield or activatable device and convert the apparatus from a see-through device to an immersion device and back again. In one embodiment, the device can be comfortably mounted to the user's head while still allowing for use of conventional eyeglasses. A tracker for outputting an indication of the orientation, attitude and/or position of a head-mounted display (HMD) may be provided. The tracker can be configured so that it is incorporated in the HMD housing and/or can be easily decoupled from the HMD, so that the HMD can be used without the tracker (e.g. for watching movies). Preferably, decoupling involves unplugging a single electrical connector (such as a cable) and unfastening a mechanical connection (such as a strap). Preferably the tracker provides pass-through of signal to the HMD and, when the tracker is coupled to the HMD, only a single cable or other data link connects the HMD-tracker combination to the host computer. In one embodiment, the tracker uses magnetic sensors. In another embodiment, one or more inertial sensors, such as a rate gyro and/or accelerometers are used.

First Claim:
Show all 22 claims
What is claimed is:     1. Visual display apparatus for a user, comprising:
  • an image generator, which outputs image light;
  • optical elements configured to receive said image light from said image generator and provide said image to the eye position of the user; and
  • a holder configured to mount the image generator, optical elements and shroud to the user's head said holder having a first portion configured for positioning before the forehead or eyes of the user and first and second temple pieces extending from said first portion along the sides of the head of the user towards the ears of the user, said first and second temple pieces being coupled to said first portion to permit pivoting of said first and second temple pieces about first and second pivot axes, allowing said temple pieces to be folded substantially adjacent said first portion wherein said first and second pivot axes are fixed with respect to said first portion.
