The 2021 World Mobile Communications Conference (MWC) is held in Shanghai as scheduled. At the exhibition, Innovative Technology also brought its latest product, Honghu, the first MR glasses equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 platform. It adopts a split design and has 6DoF. The function realizes the high-precision tracking and positioning of the head and hands with six degrees of freedom, without the need for external sensors, to complete the tracking of the head and hands movement.
Currently, AR and VR devices are mostly integrated designs, that is, the host is integrated on the AR glasses. When the user uses the AR device, the AR glasses and the host are actually worn on the head together. The disadvantage of this integrated AR device is that the host is integrated on the AR glasses, which will cause the weight of the AR device to be very large, and when the user wears it, it will put a lot of pressure on the head and neck and become fatigued easily.
For this reason, Innovative Technology applied for an invention patent named “Split VR/AR Device” on October 27, 2020 (application number: 202011165819.5), and the applicant was Shanghai Innovative Information Technology Co., Ltd.
According to the relevant information currently disclosed in the patent, let us take a look at this split AR device.
As shown in the figure above, it is the split AR device invented in this patent, which mainly includes VR eyes and handheld devices, and the two are connected through a wired way. The user can send an interface transfer instruction to the handheld device through touch screen operations such as flicking, tapping, long pressing, etc. The interface transfer instruction indicates that the user wants to change the Display screen of the glasses interface of the AR glasses.
After the handheld device receives the interface transfer instruction from the user, it sends the interface identification information to the AR glasses. The interface identification information contains the interface that the user wants to display in the glasses interface of the AR glasses, and can be used to indicate the interface of the foreground program and The interface of the background program, therefore, the foreground program and the background program can be displayed separately in the glasses interface, and when the AR device handles the multi-program interface, the interfaces of the multiple programs are displayed side by side in a complete manner.
Different from traditional AR devices, when it is necessary to operate such AR devices, users can operate the glasses interface and handheld devices through AR glasses, such as blinking, turning the eyeball and other eye movements to operate the glasses interface of AR glasses. The glasses interface will receive the user’s operation, and generate a first response instruction and a second response instruction according to the user’s operation.
The first response instruction is used to instruct the glasses interface to respond to the user’s operation on the screen, such as changes in screen brightness, dragging of the target, etc.; the second response instruction is used to send to the handheld device and instruct the handheld device to respond to the user The operation is a programmatic response, such as running a program that the user wants to execute.
In addition, the AR glasses can also set the display ratio of the touched moving target in the AR glasses according to the pressure signal touched by the user. This display ratio is inversely related to the pressure signal, that is, the greater the pressure recorded by the pressure signal, the smaller the display ratio, and the smaller the size of the moving target displayed in the AR glasses, thereby creating a moving target distance for the user in the AR eye screen. The visual effects of users at different distances.
The above is the split AR device invented by Yingchuang Technology. The solution in this patent strips the main body of the AR device from the frame of the glasses, reducing the weight of the user when using the AR device and reducing the head and neck. pressure. Moreover, based on this split structure, multiple interaction and control modes of the AR device are realized, which greatly improves the operability and playability of the AR device.
