Foveated near-eye display using computational holography.

ABSTRACT: Holographic display is the only technology that can offer true 3D with all the required depth cues. Holographic head-worn displays (HWD) can provide continuous depth planes with the correct stereoscopic disparity for a comfortable 3D experience. Existing HWD approaches have small field-of-view (FOV) and small exit pupil size, which are limited by the spatial light modulator (SLM). Conventional holographic HWDs are limited to about 20°?×?11° FOV using a 4 K SLM panel and have fixed FOV. We present a new optical architecture that can overcome those limitations and substantially extend the FOV supported by the SLM. Our architecture, which does not contain any moving parts, automatically follows the gaze of the viewer's pupil. Moreover, it mimics human vision by providing varying resolution across the FOV resulting in better utilization of the available space-bandwidth product of the SLM. We propose a system that can provide 28°?×?28° instantaneous FOV within an extended FOV (the field of view that is covered by steering the instantaneous FOV in space) of 60°?×?40° using a 4 K SLM, effectively providing a total enhancement of >?3?× in instantaneous FOV area, >?10?× in extended FOV area and the space-bandwidth product. We demonstrated 20°?×?20° instantaneous FOV and 40°?×?20° extended FOV in the experiments.

Project description:As our society is ageing globally, neurodegenerative disorders are becoming a relevant issue. Assessment of saccadic eye movement could provide objective values to help to understand the symptoms of disorders. HTC Corporation launched a new virtual reality (VR) headset, VIVE Pro Eye, implementing an infrared-based eye tracking technique together with VR technology. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether the device can be used as an assessment tool of saccadic eye movement and to investigate the technical features of eye tracking. We developed a measurement system of saccadic eye movement with a simple VR environment on Unity VR design platform, following an internationally proposed standard saccade measurement protocol. We then measured the saccadic eye movement of seven healthy young adults to analyze the oculo-metrics of latency, peak velocity, and error rate of pro- and anti-saccade tasks: 120 trials in each task. We calculated these parameters based on the saccade detection algorithm that we have developed following previous studies. Consequently, our results revealed latency of 220.40 ± 43.16 ms, peak velocity of 357.90 ± 111.99°/s, and error rate of 0.24 ± 0.41% for the pro-saccade task, and latency of 343.35 ± 76.42 ms, peak velocity of 318.79 ± 116.69°/s, and error rate of 0.66 ± 0.76% for the anti-saccade task. In addition, we observed pupil diameter of 4.30 ± 1.15 mm (left eye) and 4.29 ± 1.08 mm (right eye) for the pro-saccade task, and of 4.21 ± 1.04 mm (left eye) and 4.22 ± 0.97 mm (right eye) for the anti-saccade task. Comparing between the descriptive statistics of previous studies and our results suggests that VIVE Pro Eye can function as an assessment tool of saccadic eye movement since our results are in the range of or close to the results of previous studies. Nonetheless, we found technical limitations especially about time-related measurement parameters. Further improvements in software and hardware of the device and measurement protocol, and more measurements with diverse age-groups and people with different health conditions are warranted to enhance the whole assessment system of saccadic eye movement.
