Patent attributes
A lens includes a reflective inside surface including a first inside surface portion having an optical surface which focuses an incident beam of a first image so that objects in the first image appears at a first virtual distance, and at least a second inside surface portion having an optical surface which focuses an incident beam of a second image so that objects in the second image to appear at a second virtual distance that is further than the first virtual distance. The lens is a passive lens. The lens can be used in an optical see-through head mounted display (HMD) apparatus to allow a user of the HMD to focus on nearby virtual objects coming from the first inside surface portion while viewing nearby external-world objects and to focus on more distant virtual objects coming from the second inside surface portion while viewing more distant external-world objects.
