Google received 1 granted patent in the VR & AR category.
The patent addresses calibration challenges in augmented and mixed reality headsets when prescription lenses are incorporated into the optical system. Specifically, the technology corrects image alignment and color accuracy issues that arise from integrating prescription lenses into heads-up displays.
Google's single VR & AR patent tackles a problem that emerges when users need vision correction while wearing AR or MR headsets. The system creates a testing methodology that accounts for how prescription lenses interact with the display's lightguide optics, measuring and compensating for distortions that occur when corrective elements are placed in the optical path. By calibrating the headset to work with the prescription lens insert, the technology ensures that displayed images remain properly aligned and color-accurate despite the additional optical components between the user's eyes and the display combiner.
