WiMi Holographic Software Co., Ltd. (NASDAQ: WiMi) (hereinafter referred to as “WiMi Holographic” or the “Company”), a leading provider of holographic AR application technology, has obtained an Patent for a head-mounted Display for a holographic AR system. This patent is the result of the company’s independent research and development, which is conducive to the company to further improve the intellectual property protection system, maintain the leading position in technology, and enhance the company’s core competitiveness.
A head-mounted Display for a holographic AR system proposed in this patent realizes the immersion required for holographic applications, and can send head motion data and external image information to a host computer. It includes a holographic data acquisition and transmission module and a microdisplay module. The holographic data acquisition and transmission module includes an image sensor, a gyroscope, an accelerometer, a Bluetooth module and a processor. The holographic image information is collected, and the collected holographic data is transmitted to the microdisplay module for further data processing. The micro-display module includes a micro-control module, which is used as the holographic AR data output of the system.
This patent uses a holographic exit pupil expander to effectively two-dimensionally expand the holographic exit pupil, which improves the system performance and realizes portability while meeting the visual requirements of the human eye. This patent measures the physical law of holographic exit pupil expansion through retinal scanning display (RSD) and holographic exit pupil expansion algorithm technology of semi-permeable membrane array slab waveguide, and obtains an effective dynamic algorithm for expanding holographic exit pupil. From the perspective of optical system design, the physical mechanism of limiting the holographic exit pupil is calculated. The diffraction grating holographic exit pupil expander and the microlens array holographic exit pupil expander are processed by the diffraction integral transformation processing method to provide data support for the movement of the holographic exit pupil expander. Through the use of optical simulation method algorithm modeling, dynamic calculation of the holographic exit pupil expansion trajectory of the hexagonal arrangement of single lens array and double lens array, combined with double lens array to realize the accurate algorithm of color display RSD holographic exit pupil expansion, and finally realize the immersion High-definition holographic AR data imaging.
This patent uses the head-mounted display optical system to digitize the output of the holographic AR image source generated by the computer and holographically image the holographic image in the user’s field of vision, so as to realize the simulation technology of reproducing the specific environment. The patented immersive head-mounted AR display technology has the advantages of large field of view, low power consumption, wearable, modular, stereoscopic display, and high degree of customization. , holographic communication, 3D printing, assisted driving, etc. are widely used.
