AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing head-mounted AR devices lack sufficient image clarity when compatible with people with 500 degrees of myopia, and are also bulky, resulting in a poor experience for people with myopia. They also fail to meet the structural and experiential requirements of sports glasses.

Method used

A two-piece imaging AR optical system was designed, using a plastic lens with negative optical power and a concave mirror with positive optical power. The mirror is an XY polynomial freeform surface with a field of view greater than 80° and a small entrance pupil diameter. The lens is made of plastic material to meet the requirements of short exit pupil distance and small optical path.

Benefits of technology

It has achieved an AR optical system that provides clear imaging, a wide field of view, high-quality experience, and low cost even for people with 500 degrees of myopia.
