The present invention relates to a helmet that includes an outer shell, a heads-up information system that comprises a display, and an attachment assembly. The heads-up information system is movable from a storage position within the outer shell to a use position in which the display of the heads-up information system is visible by a user, without obstructing the field of vision of the user, when the helmet is worn by the user. The attachment assembly is coupled to outer shell and the heads-up information system, and is operable to move the heads-up information system between the storage position and the use position.

Retractable displays for helmets

The present disclosure provides a near-eye display system for generating a virtual image of a display, including: a display, a first lens array comprising a plurality of concave microlenses having a first pitch, and a second lens array positioned in front of the first lens array, the second lens array comprising a plurality of convex microlenses having a second pitch, wherein the first lens array is positioned on an optical path between the display and the second lens array, and wherein the first lens array has a focal plane at the display and the second lens array has a focal plane at a virtual image plane of the first lens array.

Near-eye display system

A Heads-Up Display (HUD) system comprises a processor, a power source, and one or more sensors coupled to a frame connector. The processor is configured to receive signals from the one or more sensors and output image data. A display is mounted on a display arm extending from the frame connector. The display is configured to display images based on the image data. A goggles frame is configured to releasably receive the frame connector. The display is located within a field of view of a user wearing the goggles frame when the frame connector is received by the goggles frame.

Modular heads-up display systems

A Heads-Up Display (HUD) system for mounting on a pair of glasses comprises a power module for providing electrical power removably mountable to one side of a lens assembly of the glasses, an electronics module connectable to receive electrical power from the power module, the electronics module removably mountable to an opposite side of the lens assembly of the glasses; and a display housing mounted on a display arm extending from the electronics module to a position within a field of vision of a user wearing the glasses. A pair of glasses adapted to receive a HUD system comprises a lens assembly providing one or more electrically conductive paths from a first side thereof to a second side thereof.

Heads up display systems for glasses

The present disclosure provides a jump detection system for inertial measurement unit (IMU) integrated with a barometric altimeter in the same device (IMU-baro). The processor is configured to record time-series data of both a vertical component of the measured IMU-baro acceleration and the estimated vertical velocity of the IMU-baro, detect a potential jump by comparing the vertical component of the measured IMU-baro acceleration to one or more acceleration thresholds, and, validate the potential jump by comparing a difference between a maximum velocity and a minimum velocity within a vicinity of the potential jump in the time-series data of the estimated vertical velocity of the IMU-baro to a velocity threshold.

Methods and systems for vertical trajectory determination and automatic jump detection

This disclosure provides a vertical position and velocity determination system for inertial measurement unit (IMU) integrated with a barometric altimeter in the same device (IMU-baro). The system includes a rate of turn input connected to receive a measured IMU-baro rate of turn; an acceleration input connected to receive a measured IMU-baro acceleration; a barometric pressure input connected to receive a measured IMU-baro altitude; a first Kalman filter connected to the rate of turn input and to the acceleration input to estimate a roll and pitch of the IMU-baro based on the measured IMU-baro rate of turn and the measured IMU-baro acceleration; and a second Kalman filter connected to the acceleration input, to the barometric pressure input, and to the first Kalman filter.

Methods and systems for vertical trajectory determination

A head-mounted information system is provided, the head-mounted information system comprising a frame configured to be mounted on a head of a user, a display unit coupled to the frame, a sensor unit coupled to the frame comprising one or more motion sensors, and, a processor unit coupled to the frame and connected to receive signals from the motion sensors. The processor unit comprises a processor and a memory accessible by the processor. The processor unit is configured to monitor the received signals and enter a gesture control mode upon detection of a gesture control enable signal. In the gesture control mode the processor is configured to convert signals received from the motion sensors into menu navigation commands.

Control systems and methods for head-mounted information systems

Glasses with HUD

A head mounted information system comprises a frame configured to be worn by a user, a sensor unit coupled to the frame, and a processor unit coupled to the frame. The processor unit is connected to receive signals from the sensor unit. The sensor unit comprises a gyroscope configured to produce angular velocity signals representing a head angular velocity about a generally horizontal axis oriented generally perpendicular to a direction the user is facing when the user is wearing the frame. The processor unit is configured to detect a jump by the user based on the angular velocity signals received from the sensor unit and generate a jump output signal indicting one or more jump parameters. A display unit may also be coupled to the frame to display the jump parameters to the user.
