Optical Architectures For Augmented-, Virtual-, And Mixed-Reality Headsets

Kress reviews and analyzes the various optical architectures, display technologies, and optical building blocks used today for consumer, enterprise, or defense head-mounted display over a wide range of implementations from smart glasses and smart eyewear to augmented-reality, virtual-reality, and mixed-reality headsets. Among his topics are keys to the ultimate mixed-reality experience, digital see-through virtual-reality headsets, manufacturing techniques for free-space combiner optics, vergence-accommodation conflict mitigation, and sensor fusion in mixed-reality headsets.
