Abstract

 →redirect Further information: Public:ARHUDFM Manifesto, Public:Applications, Public:ARHUDFM Features Summary

Augmented Reality Heald-Up Display Fullface Mask (ARHUDFM) is a complex device that is not easy to understand at a first look, because there are little relevant examples to compare. Therefore, we suggest that you first read the information on the Public:ARHUDFM Manifesto page at the link above.

This page describes the structure and contents of the GUI (Graphical User Interface) used in the ARHUDFM device.

For a brief description of the functions of each application, please see the Public:Applications page.

Features

The interface is designed for the screen of the ARHUDFM device with FOV 105°h (stereo overlap) and 33°v, has a resolution of 3840px in width and 1200 px in hight.

Normal human stereoscopic binocular vision is 180° horizontally, up 55°, down 60°.[1] If the area of ​​peripheral vision important for situational awareness is excluded, a comfortable field of view, especially if a person wears optic corrective glasses, will be 105-115° horizontally, 20° up and 25° down. Since the airway obturator of the mask from below is an obstacle to vision, the field of view of a person wearing a mask from below is less than usual (however, pilots of combat aircraft have sufficient visibility). Horizontally, the mask user has a complete view of the entire field of view, including the peripheral part, which is important.

The visible field is projected by the LED beams of a DLP projector offering high contrast and better color reproduction with high response.

Unlike the harmful effects of the blue light spectrum (light colors contain a lot of blue) emitted by the LED screen of a monitor or mobile device, which causes fatigue, headaches and sleep problems when exposed for a long time, the reflected light of a DLP projector (and other types of projectors also) does not have such disadvantages. In addition, in the ARHUDFM device, the principle of displaying the interface resembles the night mode (dark background, light graphic symbols). These conditions for the user create the possibility of round-the-clock work without stress.

The constant optical focus is set to an apparent distance of 1900 mm (75 in) from the user's eyes, which prevents conflict of vergence and accommodation so that the user's eyes do not get tired during long-term use. No virtual visual objects have a different image depth, just as if the user were to observe the display screen at a distance of 1900 mm while observing the rest of the environment with the focus oriented to infinity. This statement is based on numerous studies and experiments of different laboratories with a large number of respondents.

The tension of the muscles of the eye due to the close distance to the object in question causes fatigue, including being one of the causes of the development of myopia. Neck muscle tension and stoop due to the need to focus on a fixed part of field of view for a long time is also an unfavorable factor. This applies to all cases of human work with the screens of laptops, mobile devices, reading paper books and documents.

To imagine the actual visible edges (not the focal length) of the screen, sit in front of a 65" or 1440mm (57.3 inches x 32.9 inches) TV screen at a distance of 22" or 550mm from your eyes. You can clearly see the right and left sides of the screen by turning your eyes. You don't need to use the peripheral part of the vision at the edges, it remains completely open due to the wide field of view of the device's visor. Only in the lower part, when using the airway obturator of the device, the field of view of the user is limited to about 20°, as is the case with any respirator or when wearing most models of glasses. Glasses tend to shrink the effective field of view to somewhere between 90 and 115 degrees horizontally and 35-45 degrees vertically, depending on the width and hight of the glasses and their proximity to the eyes.

We've added these comments because most people don't have experience with these kinds of AR devices yet. Microsoft IVAS (Hololens 2) uses holographic optics, thick lenses and FOV 43°h 28°v, Magic Leap has similar technology to Microsoft and FOV 45°h 55°v. Apple Vision Pro is a VR device (opaque LED display) like the Meta (Oculus) Quest - FOV 90°h 98°v[2], HTC Vive, SONY Playstation, etc. None of these technologies or devices are like ARHUDFM and when used in tactical tasks carry many significant risks. More about it here.

The main feature of Augmented Reality devices is that a person can only see lighter areas on a darker screen background. The nature of vision is that a person sees not objects, but the light reflected from them. Those, can see a high-contrast image in a darkened room (Microsoft uses a tinted visor) or at night, but see almost nothing against a bright sky, on a sunny day, with strong reflections from snow or building walls, when looking at the sun. A person will not be able to see dark areas on a light background in principle, since this contradicts the physics of light (dark areas are the absence of light). The ARHUDFM solves this problem by using "smart windows" - the interface contains 10 large and 56 small fading pads that instantly change their transparency from 0% (opaque black) to 100% (fully transparent) depending on the ambient light or the mode selected by the user.

Principles

Since the user interface of the ARHUDFM device has more functions than is usually used by users of computers and mobile devices, and the device is such that it can be used for a long time in tactical conditions, the following principles are observed:

  1. As small screen area as possible should obstruct the view of the actual visual environment at all times
  2. The user must maintain the minimum necessary view of the visual environment for orientation in space
  3. If any element of the interface is not directly needed by the user at the moment, it should not be displayed on the screen
  4. The user should be able to change the interface configuration very quickly
  5. The user must be able to simultaneously clearly distinguish between interface elements and the visual environment at any brightness.
  6. Interface elements must not be visible from the outside of the device or create light emission to the outside
  7. The user's face must not be illuminated by reflected radiation, must not be visible from the outside at the night
  8. The audio environment should not have an attenuation greater than 10 dB SPL, except when using the noise reduction features

  • Gesture control
    • The stereo camera captures the image of the hands and recognizes the user's gestures (more details on the Hand Tracking page)
    • Gesture library constantly updated, Machine Learning allows the user to create custom gestures
    • Gestures can indicate not only the state, but also the dynamics, for example, smoothly change the volume level, brightness, etc.
    • Capturing and recognizing fingers allows to use software interface controls, including scrollbars, buttons (and a virtual keyboard if necessary), swipe sideways and up or down, scale and rotate screens inside a window, hide and move windows

Perception hardware

The advantage of this wearable and inexpensive device for tactical use by almost every military person is the ability to perceive light, sound and radio waves, inaccessible to humans.

Cameras

  • Image capture with a three-sensor front stereo camera. One objective lens transmits the image to the separation prisms and then to 3 sensors: DSLR IR-cut 4K/8K/12K UHD, SenSWIR, HDR
  • Separate camera in the range of LWIR (thermal image vision)
  • Separate rear view camera with extended visible light and SWIR
  • Folded optical lenses design
  • Built-in Speed ​​Booster reduces focal length and increases aperture for individual sensors
  • Built-in teleconverter, on the contrary, increases the focal length for other sensors, increasing the image of distant objects
  • IR filter laser protection lens coating for 700-1080 nm (against systems for remote detection of optical and optoelectronic devices)
  • Infrared and laser light sources are not used in this device, because this demasks the user


  

Microphones

  • Built-in MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems) microphone (1) in mask obturator airway to transmit the user's voice
    • If the lower part of the mask is not used, a boom microphone (2) with a windproof pad on the flexible goosneck is connected
  • 19 external MEMS cardioid microphones, "flat/dome" acoustic arrays allow to perceive sound waves in a wide range of frequencies, including those inaudible to humans, from very low to very high, used in Computer Audition modes (CAC)
  • The super-cardioiod and ultra-cardioid microphones with a narrow directivity pattern on the front of the mask allow to accurately determine the source of the sound wave
  • 2 insulating layers, airway obturator and seal around face make the user's voice almost inaudible from the outside

Radio antennas

  • Built-in transmit-receive antennas in the ranges of the near radius of communications (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, LTE, 5G)
  • Integrated manpack antennas for communications in the VHF, UHF, UHF SAT, MUOS, L/S bands
  • Integrated manpack antennas for analyzing and listening to the frequency ranges 2 MHz - 8 GHz
  • Not every user needs a separate antenna or a set of several antennas with different characteristics, using the P2P network within the group, packets of messages and received data can be exchanged and routed
  • Integrated passive radar antenna with active phased array (installed in NVG mount)
  • Integrated handheld portable short-range active metal re-radiation radar antenna
  • Integrated receiving antenna for radar warning system
  • Integrated antenna for remote control of a drone or robot
  • Integrated antenna for close-range remote control of an active phased array radar (portable or vehicle-mounted)
  • Software-defined (reconfigurable) antenna (installed in NVG mount and the other two via the picatinny rails on the sides of the helmet)
  • The software-defined antenna is capable of combining the functions of most integrated antennas


The specific is that when using a separate optical lens for each sensor on the left and right, there is a problem of parasitic multi-angle, which will have to be constantly leveled by software, which affects the accuracy of binocular stereo vision. If in a smartphone this is not critical, and there may be 4-8 cameras with their own optics, then for tactical tasks this is of great difficulty. In this case, on the left and right, it is necessary to accurately hold the horizontal distance between the lines of sight for each pair of sensors and position them vertically, and then programmatically compensate for the vertical shift in order to reproduce a single optical axis for the left and right channels. In addition, the design of the device should allow this to be done without difficulty, including taking into account the angle of the field of view of the optics and solving the problem of shadowing.

Menu items description

 →redirect Further information: Public:Applications, Public:Voice User Interface

The menu has 7 functional sections:

  • Status bar (SB)
  • Left main menu (LMM)
  • Right submenu (RSB)
  • Left quick menu (LQM)
  • Right quick menu (RQM)
  • Left features sidebar (LFS)
  • Right features sidebar (RFS)

The principle of managing menu items of some sections is the same, and some are different.

Status bar (SB)

The status bar is located in the top middle of the visible area and contains all the main and frequently used information about the use of device functions and applications.

 

A total of 12 items for quick selection and tracking are available in the status bar, each of which contains sub-elements responsible for specific function presets. Preset settings are carried out not through the status bar, but in the settings of services or applications. The status bar is always displayed and is not hidden. Each element is located in a separate field (fading pad).

 


 






The sub-elements of the status bar are controlled by clicking (joystick, gesture control) or by voice (the result corresponds to the click). Default states:

  • Hover state: 4 corner segments of the field frame (in the above example in the "Radio Detection modes" field with the "IFF" function)
  • Click state: frame on the border of the field (animation effect, twice 100 ms), with each click sequenced display of list elements (presets)
  • Selected (long click >2 s): vertically positioned rectangle in the lower left corner
  • Not selected (long click >2 s): no vertical rectangle in the lower left corner

Differences in voice control:

  • The command to the voice assistant contains a description of the desired action and state, so it is faster
  • The voice assistant understands different interpretations of actions and states, so there is no need to memorize voice commands

As it was already written at the very beginning of the description of the user interface, fading windows and pads are used in the device for contrast display. Otherwise, on a light and bright background of the environment, it will be difficult for the user to see images with contrast. Fading windows and pads, depending on the brightness modes, have different degrees of transparency. And in the case of bright light, they additionally perform the function of a sun screen.

App windows are placed in a larger and better viewable area. There are 12 independent windows in total (8 large 1.78:1, 2 large 1.20:1, 2 small 19.86:1), each containing control elements when the window is clicked or voice selected (selected state). A non-selected window is a passive window that only displays app graphics, window control elements can be hidden, app control elements can be hidden. Windows of different apps have different display priority, which is configured in the system settings for each application. Depending on the selected preset in the Status bar (SB), the configurations of the displayed windows can be quickly and flexibly changed by the user.

Window Mode Notice
Left Upper window (LUW) Usually used for a long time
Left top A window (LTAW) Used when necessary, not recommended during intense combat so as not to limit the visibility of the environment

Left bottom A window (LBAW) Usually used for a long time
Left bottom B window (LBBW) Usually used for a long time
Central left window (CLW) Usually used for a short time so as not to restrict the visibility of the environment
Central right window (CRW) Usually used for a long time
Right Upper window (RUW) Usually used for a long time
Right top A window (RTAW) Usually used for a short time so as not to restrict the visibility of the environment

Right bottom B window (RBBW) Usually used for a long time

Movement of windows to the left and right

  • General rule "left to right, top to bottom" (list moving of 10 windows):
    • LTAW - left top window A
    • LTBW - left top window B
    • LBAW - left bottom window A
    • LBBW - left bottom window B
    • CLW - central left window
    • CRW - central right window
    • RTAW - left top window A
    • RTBW - left top window B
    • RBAW - left bottom window A
    • RBBW - left bottom window B
  • If the active window is on the left side and it moves to the left, it moves up the list
  • If the active window is on the left side and it moves to the right, it moves down the list in the left side, then from the left to the right in the center of the screen, then moves down the list in the right side
  • If the place where the active window is moved is not occupied by another window, other windows do not change their position
  • The other displayed window that the active window is moved down the list to is automatically moved up the list and takes the previous position of the moved active window
  • The other displayed window that the active window is moved up in the list to is automatically moved down the list and takes the previous position of the moved active window
  • Typically less than 10 large windows are displayed at the same time, so moving the active window does not move most other windows
  • If all 10 large windows are displayed, move the active window by several positions in the list causes the neighboring window to be sequentially automatically temporarily moved, which then returns to the previous position again
  • If the window is maximized and need to move, it is automatically minimized and moved according to the general rule, if necessary, it must be maximized manually again
  • The user can select two or more windows at the same time by holding down the D key (near the joystick) right headphones ear cup (similar to the right mouse button)
  • By selecting a window and holding down the C key (similar to the left mouse button) right headphones ear cup, the user can move the window or several windows at the same time with one action using the joystick - in this case, if a group of windows is moved, they will be located sequentially next to the list (even if in their previous location, they were not sequentially next to each other in the list)
  • Small windows (LUW and RUW) move only to the left or right in place of a similar small window
  • If the small window is moved to the right, the other window is moved to the left (swap)
  • If an app launches a small window while both small windows are displaying information from other applications, then the window with the app with the lowest priority is hidden in the shortcut menu (LQM or RQM)
  • If one small window closes, nothing is displayed in its place, to display the window of another app in this place, you need to click on it in the quick menu (LQM or RQM) or in the main menu (LMM and then RSB)
  • If an app launches a window that has a higher priority than an already occupied window, then the lower priority window is moved to another location, as dictated by the window and app priority rules. When closing a window with a higher priority, the window configuration returns to the previous state
  • If an application launches a window when there is no free more space to display windows, the window with the lowest priority is hidden automatically in the quick menu (LQM or RQM). When you close one of the windows with a higher priority, the previous window display state is restored. If you need to display a window with a lower priority, you need to make free space for it by minimizing one of the windows in the quick menu (LQM or RQM)

Scrolling the window by (4/5 of the window height or in rows - adjustable individually) is done using the up and down icons (scrollbar) or the joystick buttons "< +" and "->" from the bottom of the left or right headphones ear cup (similar to the PageUp, PageDown mouse buttons). Also smooth scrolling of the window with a joystick, voice command or gesture (including a virtual joystick or a separate gesture).

Window control icons, app control icons, app interface buttons located on the Left Features Sidebar (LFS) or Right Features Sidebar (RFS), virtual joysticks - refer only to the active (selected) window. For a passive window (not selected), they are not displayed. The exceptions can be customized, for example CHAT icons in RFS.

Separately for the window control icons - after the window has become active (selected), the window control icons are displayed for 15 seconds, after which they disappear (it can be in the settings disabled). To re-display them, select this window again. The active window's dotted highlight box is displayed for the duration of the window's active state.

For the not selected state you can click on another place on the screen or press the D button on the right headphones ear cup without click.

Also, forced use of some windows can act as a sunshield when the sun is low on the horizon in the line of sight. The user can move the window to the desired area and block the dazzling view of the sun without fading the entire viewing area.
