Prescription customized augmented reality display

摘要

People with visual impairments rarely use augmented reality displays without prescription optics. This fact makes using AR devices limited. In this paper, we demonstrated a customized AR display design that considers the user's prescription and improves visual comfort in case of myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, presbyopia. AR display has a waveguide-based architecture with embedded reflective combiner for virtual image transferring. Both, waveguide substrate and reflective combiner are designed with standard type surfaces (sphere/aspheric). That makes this design convenient for mass production and adoption in society. The proposed design has field of view 42.75° degrees diagonally and thickness less than 6 mm.
