Abstract

Augmented reality (AR) is the next frontier for visual displays. In the optimal AR display, the mechanics, electronics, and optics must interact seamlessly. In this chapter, optical science concepts are developed to facilitate the reader’s understanding of the optics found within current AR technology. Various optical architectures are being used in the current AR display technology, and those architectures will be dissected and discussed. A combination of physical, electrical, and optical constraints limits the capabilities of recent AR displays. As the details of the optical challenges in designing AR displays are examined, emerging technologies that could facilitate a fundamental change in design processes, such as holographic optics, freeform optics, and metasurfaces, will be introduced.
