Spatial AR Optics by VividQ

The waveguide optics of VividQ and Dispelix display objects with variable depth of field. AR gaming could benefit from a wide field of view. Holographic display developer VividQ and waveguide manufacturer Dispelix report an advance that could improve gaming with transparent AR headsets. A proprietary solution is said to provide a clear image with variable depth of field.

Advantages include a wide field of view and a large eyebox for people with different interpupillary distances (IPD). A critical requirement for a good AR game, according to VividQ, is the ability to accurately render different depths of field. If an insect is crouching at the end of a real corridor, the view should adjust to that distance. If it jumps onto your hand, the focus should shift to a close-up.
