This webinar is a review and analysis of the various optical architectures and display technologies used today for head-mounted displays (HMDs) for smart glasses augmented-reality (AR), virtual-reality (VR). It will focus on the hardware issues, especially on the optics side. Main specifications that drive the optical design cost functions will be discussed. Existing VR optical architectures the various smart glasses architectures, and the numerous free-space and waveguide combiner architectures for AR/MR headsets will also be reviewed.
