Method and system enabling natural user interface gestures with user wearable glasses

User wearable eye glasses include a pair of two-dimensional cameras that optically acquire information for user gestures made with an unadorned user object in an interaction zone responsive to viewing displayed imagery, with which the user can interact. Glasses systems intelligently signal process and map acquired optical information to rapidly ascertain a sparse (x,y,z) set of locations adequate to identify user gestures. The displayed imagery can be created by glasses systems and presented with a virtual on-glasses display, or can be created and / or viewed off-glasses. In some embodiments the user can see local views directly, but augmented with imagery showing internet provided tags identifying and / or providing information as to viewed objects. On-glasses systems can communicate wirelessly with cloud servers and with off-glasses systems that the user can carry in a pocket or purse.

Autofocusing eyewear, especially for presbyopia correction

A pair of eyewear has transparent waveguides in each eyewear lens. An illumination subsystem directs a beam of light through the waveguides onto a wearer's eyes. A First Purkinje point imaging subsystem for each lens uses light reflected from the eyes through the waveguides. A controller calculates from the positions of the First Purkinje points the wearer's gaze parallax angle and / or the distance to an object of interest on which the gaze of the wearer's eyes converges. The output of the controller may drive variable-focus eyeglass lenses to enable a presbyopic wearer to focus on the object. Modified Alvarez variable-focus lenses are described.

Scanning laser ophthalmoscope optimized for selective retinal microphotocoagulation

A combination of a confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscope and external laser sources is used for microphotocoagulation purposes. An opto-mechanical linkage device and beamsplitter is used to align the pivot point of the Maxwellian view of the scanning laser ophthalmoscope with the pivot point of non-scanning external laser beams. The same pivot point is necessary to minimize wavefront aberrations and to enable precise focussing of a therapeutic laser beam on the retina. An AOM and / or two-dimensional AOD can be inserted in the pathway of the Gaussian therapeutic beam to control intensity and spatial pattern of small and short-duration pulses. The location of the external laser beam on the retina is determined with the help of two synchronized detectors and image processing. One detector is used to localize moving fiducial landmarks of the retina. A second detector is used to locate on the retina the external laser aiming beam. Two different confocal apertures are used. Polarizing the aiming beam is necessary to further reduce unwanted reflections from the anterior corneal surface.

Blue blocking lens

InactiveUS6955430B2Maximizing visual acuity and blockageMinimize aberrationGogglesNon-optical partsCamera lensUses eyeglasses
An article of externally-worn eye wear, including, but not limited to, eyeglasses, sunglasses, goggles, and contact lenses. The eye wear includes a wavelength transmission blocker for blocking substantially all of light wavelengths throughout the blue light spectrum. The wavelength transmission blocker protects the eyes against the harmful effect of the blocked light. Also, since the eye wear is worn externally from the eye, and the user can remove the eye wear, the user can selectively block the light. As such, the eye wear can be worn to block potentially harmful light, or the eye wear can be removed if blocking the light would cause other hazards.

Cap having versatile sunglass retainer and sunglass retaining method

InactiveUS6647554B1Versatilely retains sunglassHatsHeadwear capsUses eyeglassesEngineering
A cap having a versatile sunglass retainer and retainer enable retention of glasses of all sorts having temples and end pieces that can be passed into and held between the cap-retainer enclosure. The retention patch may be generally square and flat in shape and sized appropriately for use with a cap, such as a baseball cap. The top edge of the patch may be indented to give it a convex shape at the bottom of which a fifth fastener may be set in conjunction with the other four fasteners at the corners of the patch. Five openings are then defined between the fasteners through which the end piece of the glasses may pass. Engagement of the end pieces and temples of the glasses by the cap-patch enclosure serves to retain the glasses on the head of the wearer when the cap is worn. The retention patches are generally used in pairs so that both end pieces and temples of a pair of glasses may be engaged and better retained on the head of the wearer. Frictional engagement of the glasses via its frame and the engagement with the cap-patch enclosure serves to retain the glasses on the head of the wearer while the configuration and location of the patch and its fasteners serve to provide versatile means for glasses retention that enable many different configurations of glasses retention to be achieved.

Optical devices with reduced chromatic aberration

This invention relates to an optical device such as a soft or rigid contact lens, intra ocular lens (IOL), ocular insert, or spectacle lens that improves visual acuity by reducing chromatic aberration. Chromatic aberration is reduced by filtering or blocking ultraviolet and high energy blue / violet light below about 455 nm and red and infrared light above about 655 nm. This is accomplished by including in the polymer formulations blue / violet absorbing colorants and ultraviolet light absorbers to filter or block light below about 455 nm; and red absorbing colorants and infrared absorbers to filter or block light above about 655 nm. When these materials are used for wavefront designed lenses, vision better than 20 / 20 is attainable.
