HYBRID REFLECTIVE/REFRACTIVE HEAD MOUNTED DISPLAY

Original (Chinese)

A hybrid reflective/refractive HMD includes a structural frame, refractive optical lens elements, and optics housings coupled to the structural frame and positioned in front of a user's first and second eyes. Light-emitting visual sources and reflective optical surfaces are contained in the optics housings. Visual content is transmitted from light-emitting visual sources to the reflective optical surfaces. The visual content is reflected within the reflective optical surfaces at least four times without passing through a refractive optical lens element. The visual content is transmitted to the user's first eye or the user's second eye. Simultaneous with the transmission of the visual content to the user's first eye or the user's second eye, a real-world view of the outside surrounding environment is transmitted to the user's first eye or the user's second eye. The visual content is overlaid onto the real-world view of the outside surrounding environment.
