The long-rumored Apple Glass has been spotted in yet another patent application. This time, we see the company's AR smart glasses come with lenses that can adapt to ambient light.
According to the report PhoneArenathe Cupertino giant has filed a new patent application USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office). The patent is called "Localized Optical Adjustment Display System", which suggests Apple Glass. In addition, the appendix also talks about "Local Optical Settings" which refers to lens changes in Apple Glass. In simple terms, the lens will automatically adjust based on the ambient lighting in the real world around the user.
This way, Apple Glass will be able to adjust the lenses to suit bright light or at night. In the patent, Apple states that “the adjustable lens system can be dynamically adjusted for different users and / or different work situations. Adjustable light modulators can be used to selectively dim parts of the user's field of view. "
It further adds that “the head display system is used to display computer content that overlaps real objects, the brightness of real objects can be selectively dimmed to improve the visibility of computer images. content. In particular, a spatially addressable variable light modulator can be used to create a dark area that overlaps a bright real world object that is obscured by computer content in the upper right corner of the user's field of view. "
Basically, this means that Apple is trying to adjust the brightness of the real world to make the information displayed to the user more visible through the glasses. In other words, the appearance of the object and its brightness through the glasses are adjusted in accordance with the brightness of the real world, and the settings for each lens are individual.
