Abstract

Head wearable display (HWD) systems and methods of display reliability verification with respect to the HWD operated by a user are provided, which comprise tracking a position and orientation (P&O) of the HWD relative to hardware element(s) at known position(s), which are selected from a surroundings of the user and are visible to the user through the HWD, calculating position(s) of the hardware element(s) with respect to the HWD, and displaying, in the HWD and according to the calculated position(s), verification symbol(s) that correspond to the hardware element(s). Display reliability verification may be carried out automatically using a camera and an image processing module, optionally with an additional illuminator, which compares the element(s)'s captured locations with the element(s)'s expected location according to the tracking, and indicates possible discrepancies. Discrepancy identification may be used to initiate a correction process or to indicate the presented symbology to be unreliable.

Abstract

Head mounted displays (HMD) and corresponding display methods are provided, which obtain, repeatedly, from a monitoring system of a vehicle and, a reference vector relating to the vehicle; display on the HMD a reference symbol that indicates the reference vector; and determine movements of a HMD symbology according to a spatial relation between a received user's line of sight (LOS) and the reference vector. For example, the vehicle may be an aircraft and the reference vector a flight path vector (FPV) received from the aircraft's avionics. The proposed HMD enhances the displayed information content while avoiding excessive movements of the symbology. The HMD's functional parameters may be pre-set or adapted according to user preference and flight stage characteristics. The reference symbol anchors most of the symbology, while minimal critical information may be moved along with the user's LOS, providing a clearer and more stable view through the HMD.

The position and orientation of a display viewable by an operator of the airborne platform is determined with respect to the selected simulation environment. The display displays at least one simulation image comprising a view from a virtual altitude of simulation environmental terrain in the selected simulation environment, while the airborne platform is in flight at a real altitude above the real environmental terrain in the real environment, the virtual altitude above the simulation environmental terrain being a lower altitude than the real altitude above the real environmental terrain. The simulation image is displayed in accordance with the determined position and orientation of the display, such that the simulation environment is adaptive to operator manipulations of the airborne platform.

Aspects of embodiments pertain to a sensing systems configured to receive scene electromagnetic (EM) radiation comprising a first wavelength (WL1) range and a second wavelength (WL2) range. The sensing system comprises at least one spectral filter configured to filter the received scene EM radiation to obtain EM radiation in the WL1 range and the WL2 ranges; and a self-adaptive electromagnetic (EM) energy attenuating structure. The self-adaptive EM energy attenuating structure may comprise material that includes nanosized particles which are configured such that high intensity EM radiation at the WL1 range incident onto a portion of the self-adaptive EM energy attenuating structure causes interband excitation of one or more electron-hole pairs, thereby enabling intraband transition in the portion of the self-adaptive EM energy attenuating structure by EM radiation in the WL2 range.

Abstract

System and method for determining position of head-mounted image sensor using celestial navigation. A head-mounted image sensor, worn by an operator, captures at least one image of an external scene comprising a celestial view, pursuant with natural head movements of operator. A processor receives orientation of head-mounted image sensor in reference coordinate system, extracts parameters of celestial bodies using stored celestial data, captured image, and received orientation, and determines position of head-mounted image sensor based on extracted parameters, such as based on difference between relative angle and expected relative angle of single celestial body or constellation of celestial bodies in captured image. The image sensor may be situated in a mobile platform. A default geolocation device, such as an IMU subject to angular drifts, may provide a default geolocation estimate of mobile platform, and may be monitored, updated or calibrated using determined position of head-mounted image sensor.

Abstract

Optical systems and methods are provided, which combine see-through view of the real world and display source images using a conical optical combiner cut to have flat surfaces normal to the viewer line of sight. The conical shape minimizes interferences in the view of the real world as the edges of the optical combiner are tangent to the viewer vision field of view and the inner part of the optical combiner is semitransparent. Additionally, the optical system comprises a beam splitter, a shutter(s) for attenuating or blocking the see-through path and may employ polarizing element to improve the contrast between the scene observation and the projected display and thus enabling selective viewing of either. The system may also be configured to enable diopter adjustment and virtual display distance adjustments.

Abstract

A first thermal management approach involves an air flow through cooling mechanism with multiple airflow channels for dissipating heat generated in a PCA. The air flow direction through at least one of the channels is different from the air flow direction through at least another of the channels. Alternatively or additionally, the airflow inlet of at least one channel is off-axis with respect to the airflow outlet. A second thermal management approach involves the fabrication of a PCB with enhanced durability by mitigating via cracking or PTH fatigue. At least one PCB layer is composed of a base material formed from a 3D woven fiberglass fabric, and conductive material deposited onto the base material surface. A conductive PTH extends through the base material of multiple PCB layers, where the CTE of the base material along the z-axis direction substantially matches the CTE of the conductive material along the x-axis direction.

Abstract

LCD resizing methods. In first method, display is situated in vacuum chamber under vacuum conditions, and temperature is decreased below freezing temperature of display image-generating medium. A groove is formed along selected groove dimensions, extending through one plate and terminating within other plate. Adhesive is applied into formed groove, and display temperature is increased above adhesive liquidation temperature. Vacuum pressure is increased to at least atmospheric pressure, adhesive is polymerized to form seal, and plates are severed. In second method, grooves are formed in each plate along respective groove dimensions. A compressive force is applied against intended remaining plate sections to prevent air penetrating between plates and seepage of image-generating medium. Display plates are severed along respective groove dimensions, forming an exposed inner surface at plate edge. Adhesive is applied at exposed surface, compressive force is reduced allowing adhesive to permeate between plates, and adhesive is polymerized to form seal.

Abstract

Method and system for displaying augmented reality reflective of environmental features affecting visibility. Characteristics of a virtual object to be displayed on view of scene is determined. Environmental features affecting visibility along a line-of-sight from scene origin to virtual object are detected. When detected feature is at least one non-obstructing feature, its effect on visibility is determined, and virtual object is displayed superimposed onto view of scene such that appearance of virtual object is consistent with determined effect on visibility. When detected feature includes an amorphous obstructing feature, its range and contour is determined, and obstructed portions of virtual object is determined based on difference between range of virtual object and range of amorphous obstructing feature, and virtual object is displayed superimposed onto view of scene such that determined obstructed portions of virtual object appear obstructed in displayed view.
