AR/VR Displays

Introductory Text

In recent years, the concepts of augmented/virtual reality (AR/VR) have been going viral among both the academia and industry, kickstarting a new wave of innovations. In the wake of this momentum, we are launching a special issue to fuel the iterations of display technologies for AR/VR. This special issue is aimed to brainstorm ideas towards the hottest theoretical/engineering issues that have been bothering the community. Problem-oriented full-length/short-communication articles as well as the all-encompassing review articles are solicited. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

• Increase of field of view
• Expansion of exit pupil
• Miniaturization of optical components/systems
• Occlusion between real and virtual objects
• 3-dimensional registration of real and virtual objects
• Integration of prescription/vision correction
• Mitigation of vergence-accommodation conflict
• Foveated imaging/rendering
• Achromatic/wide-angle/high-efficiency/tunable diffractive/holographic optical elements, metasurfaces, metalenses, etc.
• Metrology/measurement/benchmark/standardization
• Ergonomics/human factors
• Emerging concepts/technologies, e.g. electronic contact lenses, artificial retina, bionic eye, brain-computer interface, etc.
