Florida Patent of the Month – October 2021
Augmented reality (AR) enhances the real world with digital visual elements, sounds, or sensory stimuli using technology. With so much potential, it’s no surprise that we are seeing a rise in innovation and applications of AR in different industries. As a pioneer in electronic lens modulation, e-Vision Smart Optics, Inc.’s technology is one way to make AR more accessible.
e-Vision has developed a near eye display which aligns with a micro-lens to allow the user see the real world while still engaging with the technology. The device has a switchable micro-lens array with electronic enabled micro-lenses. When pixels of the near eye display are lit, the micro-lenses are present and therefore seen by the user. When unlit, the user sees the real image with no technology overlaid.
When light penetrates the micro-lenses it causes a loss of clarity and contrast of the AR image. To overcome this, e-Vision designed the near eye display to synchronize with the electronic enable micro-lenses at such a speed that it blends the virtual image with the real image creating the ultimate mixed or augmented reality. E-Vision believes that its technology will have a transformative influence on the complex lens systems required to bring what can be imagined to reality.
