A display device includes a display panel having a first emission region and one or more second emission regions disposed adjacent to the first emission region. The display device includes a plurality of light emitters, arranged in the first emission region, corresponding to a first color gamut and a plurality of light emitters, arranged in the one or more second emission regions, corresponding to a second color gamut that is distinct from the first color gamut. A method for making a display device with a plurality of light emitters corresponding to a first color gamut in a first emission region and a plurality of light emitters corresponding to a second color gamut in a second emission region is also described.

A technique of determining the presence of a species in a sample may include passing light through an optical filter. In an example, the optical filter may include a spatially variant microreplicated layer optically coupled to a wavelength selective filter. The wavelength selective filter may have a light incidence angle-dependent optical band. The spatially variant microreplicated layer may be configured to transmit light to a first optical region of the wavelength selective filter at a first predetermined incidence angle and to a second optical region of the wavelength selective filter at a second predetermined incidence angle.

Technique for determining presence of a species in a sample

The disclosed computer-implemented method may include identifying, via an artificial reality system, a plurality of physical objects in a real-world environment of a user and defining, based on identifying the plurality of objects, an object-manipulation objective for manipulating at least one of the plurality of objects. The method may also include determining an action sequence that defines a sequence of action steps for manipulating the at least one of the plurality of objects to complete the object-manipulation objective, and presenting, via the artificial reality system, a notification to the user indicative of the action sequence. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Optimal assistance for object-rearrangement tasks in augmented reality

In an example, an example article may include a spatially variant microreplicated layer optically coupled to a wavelength selective filter. The wavelength selective filter may have a light incidence angle-dependent optical band. The spatially variant microreplicated layer may be configured to transmit light to a first optical region of the wavelength selective filter at a first predetermined incidence angle and to a second optical region of the wavelength selective filter at a second predetermined incidence angle.

Optical filters having spatially variant microreplicated layers

A multiplanar head mounted display (HMD) includes two or more artificial display planes for each eye located at optical distances that can be dynamically adjusted based on a location within a scene presented by the HMD that the user views. For example, a scene is presented on two or more electronic display elements (e.g., screens) of the HMD. A focal length of an optics block that directs image light from the electronic display elements towards the eyes of a user is adjusted using a varifocal system (e.g., an element that mechanically changes a distance between a lens system in the optics block and the electronic display element, an element that changes shape of one or more lenses in the lens system in the optics block, etc.) based on a location or object within the scene where the user is looking.

Focus adjusting multiplanar head mounted display

A multifocal test system is described herein. The system includes a plurality of displays located at different focal distances. Each display includes a plurality of pixels with pixel intensity values. The system includes an eye tracking system that determines eye tracking information about a position of an eye relative to the displays. A controller is configured to determine pixel intensity values based on decomposition of a scene across the plurality of displays, and the position of the eye.

Multifocal test system

Systems and methods for displaying an image across a plurality of displays are described herein. Pixel intensity values in the multifocal display are determined using correlation values and numerical iterations. An eye tracking system measures eye tracking information about a position of a user's eye, and the pixel intensity values are modified based on the eye tracking information. An image is displayed on the plurality of displays based on the determined pixel intensity values. The plurality of displays may be within an HMD, and address vergence accommodation conflict by simulating retinal defocus blur.

Real-time multifocal displays with gaze-contingent rendering and optimization

Backlights are disclosed. More particularly, temporally multiplexed backlights utilizing asymmetric turning films are disclosed. The disclosed backlights are capable of displaying a primary image to on-axis viewers while simultaneously providing a secondary image to off-axis viewers.
