“…In the following, we motivate four very promising real-life applications of peripheral-only visual cues that take advantage of the perceptual limitations of peripheral perception. Previous research shows that simple peripheral out-of-focus cues can be understood by the user [29,36,46]. We demonstrate how MoPeDT supports the development of peripheral vision applications by implementing prototypes for each of these use cases, following a validation by demonstration approach [25].…”

“…A user study supports their claim that this is an effective way to direct scooter drivers. Nakao et al presented smart glasses with a peripherally attached 8x8 LED matrix and found that users were able to distinguish animation patterns with high accuracy [36]. To help skiers gain better spatial awareness and decrease the risk of accidents, Niforatos et al introduced a head-mounted collision detection system using LIDAR sensors [38].…”

“…We compiled a set of requirements by looking at previous work that utilized peripheral cues. The devices shown so far that exclusively augment peripheral vision were designed for specific purposes (e.g., avoiding traffic accidents) or are generally limited to a few selected use cases [4,6,15,22,29,36,38,41,46,52,53]. With MoPeDT, we want to provide a more adaptable advancement of these approaches by proposing a unified and extendable system that allows a wide variety of applications.…”

“…Using just LEDs in the periphery limits the visual expressiveness due to the low number of light-emitting elements compared to higher resolution screens [4,6,15,22,36,38,41,46,52,53]. Similar to Luyten et al [29], our system should support small near-eye LCD displays to allow greater visual expressiveness to display a wide variety of shapes, colors, and animations.…”

“…Campbell and Tarasewich [2] explore expressivity and comprehension with a 3-pixel display in a controlled lab study. Xiao and Benko [9] show how 4×14 LED arrays can complement main displays for extended field-of-view, whereas Nakao et al [6] report on smart glasses with 8×8 dot matrix displays at each temple for peripheral notifications. AmbiGlasses [7] show that study participants can successfully approximate LED location.…”

We demonstrate near-eye optical designs using computer-generated holograms (CGHs) for compact presentation of symbology.1D Eyewear uses 1D arrays of LEDs and pre-recorded holographic symbols to enable minimal head-worn displays. Our approach uses computer-generated holograms (CGHs) to create diffraction gratings which project a pre-recorded static image when illuminated with coherent light. Specifically, we develop a set of transmissive, reflective, and steerable optical configurations that can be embedded in conventional eyewear designs. This approach enables high resolution symbolic display in discreet digital eyewear.Wearable computing; Head-worn displays (HWD); Head-up displays (HUD); diffractive optics; augmented reality H.5.2. User Interfaces: Input devices and strategies, Interaction Styles.Compared to cell phones and smart watches, head-worn displays have the unique capability of adapting contextual graphics to the tracked direction of the user's field-of-view. This potential enables seamless and unobtrusive digital augmentation of the user's interactions in the real world. It is, however, currently challenging to create smart eyewear in small and compact form factors. Current head-up and head-worn systems rely on micro-displays, display drivers, and image generation on a CPU or GPU. These dependencies, in combination with requirements for illumination, make current designs costly and complex from mechanical, electrical, thermal and computational perspectives. The requirement to fit all the electronics, optics and image-generating components, in addition to batteries of sufficient capacity, greatly affects the possible industrial design options. The variations of styles that end users may choose from is thus limited by these constraints, with reduced flexibility in wearability and aesthetics. Recent inlens displays have started to address some of these issues in more elegant form factors, but widespread adoption is still challenging due to the requirement for high-precision optics engineering [3]. In this paper, we explore perspectivecorrect rendering for limited displays and advanced near-eye optical designs for advanced image presentation in compact form factors.• Wireless glasses with wide field-of-view LED-arrays and invisible electronics for motion-based navigation guidance in a conventional eyewear design. • Optics designs for transmissive, reflective and steerable display configurations for symbolic displays using compact diffraction gratings. • Transmissive optical element proof-of-concept implementation using computer-generated holograms (CGHs) to display 16 high-resolution symbols.Similar to the many approaches in previous work, we focus on opportunities for digital eyewear designs that do not rely on microdisplays or image generation, which also frees us from requiring tradition...
