Wearable display system
First Claim
1. A wearable display system comprising:
- a first lens sub-assembly defining a first optical path;
a second lens sub-assembly defining a second optical path; and
a frame comprising;
a lens-holding sub-assembly comprising;
a first lens holder configured to hold the first lens sub-assembly;
a second lens holder configured to hold the second lens sub-assembly; and
a bridge coupled between the first lens holder and the second lens holder; and
a device holder comprising;
a first support member hingedly coupled to the first lens holder, the first support member comprising a first device grip member configured to releasably grip a first portion of a device to maintain a display of the device in the first optical path and in the second optical path; and
a second support member hingedly coupled to the second lens holder, the second support member comprising a second device grip member configured to releasably grip a second portion of the device to maintain the display of the device in the first optical path and in the second optical path;
wherein the device holder is configured to;
maintain a display of the device in the first optical path and in the second optical path,maintain the display within a predetermined range of distances with respect to the first lens sub-assembly and the second lens sub-assembly, andmaintain the display within a predetermined range of angles with respect to the first lens sub-assembly and the second lens sub-assembly.

Abstract
A wearable display system has a first lens sub-assembly defining a first optical path and a second lens sub-assembly defining a second optical path. The first and second lens sub-assemblies are disposed in a frame in respective first and second lens-holding sub-assemblies. The frame also has a device holder configured to maintain a display of a device in the first and second optical paths. The display can be maintained within a predetermined range of distances and angles with respect to the first and second lens sub-assemblies. This arrangement permits the display, such as, for example, a smartphone display, independently to provide a specific image to each eye of a user. For example, different images can be independently provided to each eye from different portions of a common display, thereby enabling the user to perceive a three-dimensional image.
