The United States Trademark and Patent Office (USPTO) in today’s update of the list of approved patents, Apple was granted a total of 47 technology/appearance patents. After reading these patents in general, foreign technology media PatentlyApple has introduced a patent for smart glasses technology.
The Apple patent introduces smart glasses equipped with a screen that can be used to display computer-generated content. Waveguides provide computer-generated content to the user for viewing, while allowing the user to see the real world. The line of sight tracking systems (Gaze tracking systems) can monitor the user’s line of sight.
The headset’s display provides a left image and a right image to the left and right eye boxes. The left and right waveguides can be used to transmit the left and right images to the left and right eye boxes. The left waveguide and right waveguide may be transparent. This allows real-world images to be viewed from the left eye box through the left waveguide and from the right eye box through the right waveguide.
The reference associated with the left and right infrared light reflectors can be monitored using the left and right gaze tracking system cameras, allowing the cameras to be calibrated. The benchmark can be formed by the patterned portion of the infrared reflector or other benchmark structure.
Apple was granted three design patents today for the AirPods Pro and two design patents for the HomePod Mini.
