Digital Technologies
Augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) technologies are new frontiers in the human experience. They have grown in consumer markets, providing novel recreational experiences using handheld devices, headsets, and so on. But we are also experiencing a paradigm shift towards the adoption of AR and VR in a broader application base, including architecture, engineering, healthcare, military and defense, and more.
Optics are central to the AR/VR experience, enabling the user to feel truly immersed in an augmented or virtual space. This is increasingly important in healthcare where students may practice key skills in a simulated environment. Likewise, military personnel can be primed for combat in non-lethal settings using cutting-edge VR headsets.
The challenge with AR/VR optics is mapping the close-up display to a wider field of view without inducing discomfort in the user. Freeform optics and custom optical systems are often deployed for these applications.
