Varifocal head-mounted display including modular air spaced optical assembly
First Claim
1. An eye tracker comprising:
- an illumination source located between a first optical element and a second optical element which share an optical axis, the eye tracker configured to;
output light generated by the illumination source, anddetermine a gaze direction for an eye relative to the optical axis based at least in part on a modified version of the output light,the output light being modified by an optical power of the first optical element prior to reflection from the eye.

Abstract
A head-mounted display (HMD) includes an electronic display configured to emit image light, an optical assembly that provides optical correction to the image light, an eye tracking system, and a varifocal module. The optical assembly includes a back optical element configured to receive the image light from the electronic display, and a coupling assembly configured to couple a front optical element to a location within the optical assembly such that the front optical element receives light transmitted by the back optical element. The optical correction is determined in part by an optical characteristic of the front optical element that is replaceable. The eye tracking system determines eye tracking information for a first eye of a user of the HMD. A varifocal module adjusts focus of images displayed on the electronic display, based on the eye tracking information and the optical correction.
