Abstract

Configurations are disclosed for presenting virtual reality and augmented reality experiences to users. The system may comprise an image-generating source to provide one or more frames of image data in a time-sequential manner, a light modulator configured to transmit light associated with the one or more frames of image data, a substrate to direct image information to a user's eye, wherein the substrate houses a plurality of reflectors, a first reflector of the plurality of reflectors to reflect transmitted light associated with a first frame of image data at a first angle to the user's eye, and a second reflector to reflect transmitted light associated with a second frame of the image data at a second angle to the user's eye.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method comprising:
 projecting light associated with one or more frames of image data through a multicore assembly, the multicore assembly comprising a plurality of optical fiber cores; and   delivering the projected light, through a waveguide, such that a first portion of the user's pupil receives light associated with a first portion of an image, and a second portion of the user's pupil receives light associated with a second portion of the image.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein a diameter of the first and second portions is no greater than 0.5 mm. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of optical fiber cores project light into a single waveguide array. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the multicore assembly is scanned. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the waveguide comprises a plurality of reflectors. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein an angle of the reflectors is variable. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising a set of optics to modify light being delivered to the first and second viewing zones. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein the set of optics is a DOE element. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein the set of optics is a freeform optic. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein the set of optics is an LC layer.
