Advancing AR Glasses

With over 60% of the population wearing glasses, adding prescription lenses to AR displays is key to enabling more people to use and enjoy AR in their daily lives.

In this demo, we will look at two wearable AR prototypes inspired by the human visual system. First we’ll look at Prescription AR which uses a set of 5 mm thick corrective lenses with an embedded AR display. This design can work with prescription lenses for myopia, astigmatism and hyperopia. The Prescription AR display uses a beam shaping lens and an incoupling prism to relay an OLED image to the eye via total internal reflection and a half-mirror coated free-form combiner surface.

Next, we’ll look at a Foveated AR display that optically combines light from a high-resolution, small field of view, visual display and a low-resolution, large field of view, peripheral display. The design covers a diagonal field of view of over 100° and a resolution of up to 60 cycles per degree in the fovea with a 12 mm dynamic eye box."
