In one of Apple s XR Headset published this week we see a well thought out camera system. It s a clear project being that two different teams were assigned to explore it. The first patent that we discovered on a scene camera was published back in 2020. We posted a patent report on this titled " Apple Invents a Scene Camera System for a future HMD device that brings Vivid Imagery directly to the user s eyes." This week another scene camera related patent was published by USPTO.
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office published a patent application from Apple today that reveals a unique lens system design well-suited to augmented reality head-mounted devices that includes a new lens system with Lenslets. This could possibly revolutionize lens systems for AR eyewear.
Today the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office officially granted Apple a patent that relates to scene cameras that use a series of mirrors that is able to bring a scene in front of the HMD closer to the user s eyes to achieve a more accurate representation of the scene.
