  • FIG. 5 illustrates a method of calibrating an HMD, such as the HMD of FIG. 1 , using the calibration system of FIG. 4.
  • Typical methods for including a corrective optical prescription in an HMD require configuring the HMD’s optical combiner to accommodate both a lightguide and a separate prescription lens, either as part of eyeglasses worn by the user or as a lens that is inserted into, or attached to, the optical combiner.
  • the result is often a bulky system that can be uncomfortable for a user to wear, thus detracting from the user experience.
  • boundary lines of a corrective prescription lens included in a combiner as an insert or attachment are often visible to the user, which also detracts from the user experience.
  • optical combiners with integrated corrective prescriptions have been developed. Although there are complications in simultaneously correcting both the light from within the combiner and the environmental light such that a user does not experience undesirable optical aberrations or distortions when viewing an augmented reality scene, these complications can be diagnosed and ameliorated by calibrating the micro-display so that the device provides good visual acuity for the user.
  • a corrective prescription into an optical combiner of an HMD presents challenges to calibrating an HMD because, in some cases, the corrective prescription introduces both defocus and distortion into images projected by the microdisplay and light from the environment transmitted through the optical combiner. To avoid such aberrations, it is desirable that, during a calibration process, the environment and displayed content be viewed as through a user’s eye in order to calibrate the micro-display.
  • components of a calibration system used to perform calibration of displayed content viewed through a prescription lens are configured to simulate the user’s eye that is in need of refractive correction.
  • FIGs. 1-5 illustrate systems and methods for inspecting and calibrating an HMD having at least one optical combiner with an integrated user-specific corrective prescription.
  • the output of the micro-display of the HMD and a reference target, as viewed through the optical combiner having a corrective prescription, are measured at a specialized calibration station to calibrate for optical aberrations and artifacts caused by the corrective prescription.
  • the calibration station includes a camera and at least one tunable corrective unit, which together mimic the user's eye that is in need of refractive correction. That is, the camera sensor of the camera mimics the retina of a user’s eye to receive light in order to “see” an image and the tunable corrective unit mimics the lens of a user’s eye to focus light such that the image is seen as in-focus by the camera sensor.
  • the tunable corrective unit compensates for the shift in focal point caused by the corrective prescription of the optical combiner and allows the camera of the calibration station to capture the sharp images required to perform measurement and calibration of the HMD.
  • Calibration of the HMD is comparative such that the micro-display of the HMD is calibrated to match the reference target, both of which are optically modified by the corrective prescription of the optical combiner and the tunable corrective unit.
  • the optically modified light from the micro-display of the HMD is matched to the optically modified light from the reference target so that a user of the HMD will see content displayed at the optical combiner and the environment beyond the optical combiner with good visual accuity.
  • the tunable correction unit can be adjusted manually by an operator or by an automatic process to create a focused image at the camera during a calibration stage of the production process or as part of the re-calibration of an HMD in need of repair(s). Because components of the tunable correction unit can be adjusted, the calibration station can simulate a number of different corrective prescriptions and allow simulation of how various users would see the real-world and/or displayed content when wearing an HMD configured with their specific prescription.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates an example HMD 100 employing an optical combiner 102 having an integrated corrective prescription.
  • the HMD 100 has a support structure 104 that includes a frame 106, which houses a micro-display (shown in FIG. 2), such as a laser projector or light- emitting diode (LED) display, that generates visible light in order to project images toward the eye of a user via the optical combiner 102, such that the user perceives the projected images as being displayed in a field of view (FOV) area 108 at the combiner 102.
  • the micro-display also generates infrared light for eye tracking purposes.
  • Support structure 104 also includes components to allow the support structure 104 to be worn in a position in front of a user’s eyes. Examples of such components are arms 110 and 112 to be supported by a user’s ears. A strap, or straps (not shown), configured to be worn around and/or on top of a user’s head may be used in place of one or more of the arms in some embodiments to secure the support structure 104 in front of a user’s eyes.
  • the HMD 100 is symmetrically configured such that lens element 114 is also a combiner and a micro-display is housed in the portion of the frame 106 proximate to arm 112 to project images to a FOV area within lens element 114. Either or both of combiner 102 and lens element 114 can be configured with eye-side and world-side surfaces having curvatures that, together, provide prescription correction of light that is transmitted to a user’s eye(s).
  • the HMD 100 is a near-eye display system in which the support structure 104 is configured to be worn on the head of a user and has a general shape and appearance (or “form factor”) of an eyeglasses frame.

  • the support structure 104 further can include one or more radio frequency (RF) interfaces or other wireless interfaces, such as a Bluetooth(TM) interface, a WiFi interface, and the like. Further, in some embodiments, the support structure 104 includes one or more batteries or other portable power sources for supplying power to the electrical and processing components, such as one or more processors of a processing system of the HMD 100. In some embodiments, some or all of these components of the HMD 100 are fully or partially contained within an inner volume of support structure 104, such as within arm 110 and the portion of the frame 106 in region 116 of the support structure 104. It should be noted that while an example form factor is depicted, it will be appreciated that in other embodiments the HMD 100 may have a different shape and appearance from the eyeglasses frame depicted in FIG. 1.
  • combiner 102 of the HMD 100 provides an AR display in which rendered graphical content can be superimposed over or otherwise provided in conjunction with a real-world view as viewed by the user through combiner 102.
  • light used to form a perceptible image or series of images may be projected by a microdisplay of the HMD 100 onto the eye of the user via a series of optical elements, such as a lightguide formed at least partially in combiner 102 and one or more lenses and/or filters disposed between the micro-display and the lightguide.
  • Optical combiner 102 includes at least a portion of a lightguide that routes display light received by an incoupler of the lightguide to an outcoupler of the lightguide, which outputs the display light toward an eye of a user of the HMD 100.
  • optical combiner 102 is sufficiently transparent to allow a user to see through combiner 102 to provide a field of view of the user’s real-world environment such that the image appears superimposed over at least a portion of the user’s real-world environment.

  • FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of a calibration station 200 in which aspects of a display system, such as HMD 100, are measured and calibrated.
  • the calibration station 200 includes a holder 202 into which an optical combiner, such as optical combiner 102, is placed.
  • the position of the holder 202 is adjustable to allow the optical combiner 102 to be positioned in a primary optical path of light 220 traveling from a micro-display 204 associated with the optical combiner 102 to a camera 206 of the calibration station 200.
  • the camera 206 is a combination of a camera sensor for sensing light and a camera lens, or combination of lenses, for focusing light on the camera sensor.
  • a tunable correction unit 208 is also disposed in the primary optical path and located between holder 202 and camera 206.
  • the tunable correction unit 208 is a phoropter including a variety of lenses, including, but not limited to, spherical lenses, cylindrical lenses, filtered lenses, and prismatic lenses.
  • the phoropter in some embodiments, also includes specialized measurement devices, such as Maddox rods and a Jackson cross-cylinder.
  • the tunable correction unit 208 is a focus tunable lens, such as a fluid-filled shape-changing lens in which the radius of the lens can be changed by deforming a membrane housing the fluid or by pumping the fluid into or out of the membrane.
  • the tunable correction unit 208 is a trial lens kit including a variety of spherical concave lenses, spherical convex lenses, cylindrical concave lenses, cylindrical convex lenses, prismatical lenses, and specialized lenses such as colored lenses, an occluder lens, pin hole lenses, and cross cyliner lenses which can be placed in the optical path between the holder 202 and camera 206.
  • a neutral-density (ND) filter is positioned between camera 206 and tunable correction unit 208 to reduce or modify the intensity of the light that enters the camera 206 to avoid capturing images that are too bright or “overexposed”.
  • the tunable correction unit 208 is used to reverse the blurriness caused by the corrective prescription so that camera 206 of the calibration station 200 can capture a sharp, in-focus image on which to perform display measurement and calibration.
  • the corrective prescription of the optical combiner 102 works in conjunction with the lens and cornea of a user’s eye to focus light on the retina of the eye. Vision problems occur when the focus accommodation of the eye cannot bring an object into focus or when the eye is not symmetric and suffers from astigmatism.
  • the corrective prescription of the optical combiner 102 (measured in diopters) changes the focal point of light entering the user’s eye such that the light is correctly focused on the retina, allowing the user to view their environment in focus.
  • a corrective prescription is integrated into the optical combiner 102 by shaping the optical combiner 102 to shift the perceived depth of the real world into a common plane, in the case of astigmatism correction, and into a plane that falls within the patient's focus accommodation, in the case of spherical correction. Because the degree to which the focal point is shifted varies on a user’s specific corrective prescription, images viewed through an optical combiner 102 with an integrated prescription will appear blurry or out-of-focus to another user or, in the case of the calibration station 200, to the camera 206.
  • the lenses or the shape of the tunable correction unit 208 is adjusted to reverse the shift in focal point imposed by the optical combiner 102 having a corrective prescription such that the light is correctly focused at the camera 206 and the camera 206 can capture an in-focus image of the environment viewed through the tunable correction unit 208 and optical combiner 102.
  • the calibration station 200 includes at least one optical relay.
  • the example calibration station 200 shown in FIG. 2 includes two optical relays 212, 214.
  • the first optical relay 212 is disposed between the holder 202 and the tunable correction unit 208 and the second optical relay 214 is disposed between the tunable correction unit 208 and the camera 206.

Because camera 206 is used to simulate the view of the user, without at least one optical relay, the camera 206 would need to be placed very close to the optical combiner 102 being held in the holder 202 in order to emulate the position of the user’s eye.
  • the optical relays 212, 214 serve to elongate the primary optical path to accommodate positioning of the tunable correction unit 208 between the camera 206 and the holder 202 and to allow the camera 206 to capture images of digital content projected at the optical combiner 102 and/or a reference target 224 located beyond the optical combiner 102 as a user would see the digital content and reference target 224.
  • the reference target 224 is positioned at a set distance from the holder 202 such that camera 206 views the reference target 224 through the optical combiner 102 positioned in the holder 202.
  • the reference target 224 is generally a physical item or image, such as a checkerboard grid or other pattern having distinguishable features, that is used to ensure the camera 206 is capturing a focused image of the reference target 224.
  • the reference target 224 is a static or dynamic image that is projected onto a surface positioned a set distance from the holder. While the reference target 224 is generally illuminated with white light, colored lighting can also be used to illuminate the reference target 224.
