Sony has patented a design for prescription glasses that intention to resolve the issues glasses-wearers face when utilizing VR headsets.
Siliconera noticed the patent for prescription glasses, with eye-tracking being the stand-out characteristic.
The VR headset getting used with the glasses will detect that glasses are being worn by the consumer through an “encoded signal” and disable the headset’s “gaze detection function” in response.
Instead, the gaze information will probably be wirelessly communicated to the headset due to the eye-tracking characteristic within the glasses, and the picture body processor will “adjust image frames” of the show in response.
Having the eye-tracking sensor on the glasses relatively than a headset might appear a bit odd. Sony’s present PSVR headset doesn’t have an eye-tracking characteristic, so maybe this solves a problem with its subsequent iteration of the PSVR.
The patent was filed in December 2017 however was printed final week.
