Peripheral treatment for head-mounted displays
First Claim
1. A head-mounted display apparatus comprising:
- a display operable to project an image viewable by a user;
a peripheral light element positioned to emit light of one or more colors in close proximity to the periphery of the display; and
a processor operable to;
receive data representing a source image;
generate, based on the data representing the source image, a display image;
generate, based at least in part on the data representing the source image, a set of peripheral conditioning signals to control colors emitted from the peripheral light element;
cause the display image to be displayed by the display; and
cause the set of peripheral conditioning signals to control the peripheral light element.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, implementing and using techniques for projecting a source image in a head-mounted display apparatus for a user. A first display projects an image viewable by a first eye of the user. A first peripheral light element is positioned to emit light of one or more colors in close proximity to the periphery of the first display. A receives data representing a source image, processes the data representing the source image to generate a first image for the first display and to generate a first set of peripheral conditioning signals for the first peripheral light element, directs the first image to the first display, and directs the first set of peripheral conditioning signals to the first peripheral light element. As a result, an enhanced viewing experience is created for the user.

15. A computer-implemented method for projecting a source image in a head-mounted display apparatus, the head-mounted display apparatus having a display operable to project a display image viewable by a user and a peripheral light element positioned to emit light of one or more colors in close proximity to the periphery of the display, the method comprising:
-
receiving data representing a source image; generating, based on the data representing the source image, a display image; generating, based at least in part on the data representing the source image, a set of peripheral conditioning signals to control colors emitted from the peripheral light element; displaying the display image on the display; and using the set of peripheral conditioning signals to control the peripheral light element. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)

25. A computer program product, stored on a non-transitory machine-readable medium, for projecting a source image in a head-mounted display apparatus, the head-mounted display apparatus having a display operable to project a display image viewable by a user and a peripheral light element positioned to emit light of one or more colors in close proximity to the periphery of the display, the computer program product comprising instructions operable to cause a processor to:
-
receive data representing a source image; generate, based on the data representing the source image, a display image; generate, based at least in part on the data representing the source image, a set of peripheral conditioning signals to control the peripheral light element; display the display image on the display; and use the set of peripheral conditioning signals to control colors emitted from peripheral light element. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27)
