Direct to Retina
Abstract
This small business-led project developed the first and only augmented reality/virtual reality (AR/VR) eyewear glasses that project images directly onto the retina. This revolutionary technology will replace current mixed reality technology, which requires organic light-emitting diodes (OLED) screens, heavy headgear, and bulky lenses. By projecting the image directly onto the retina, the operator will have an entire 220-degree field of view, infinite depth of view, reduced lag time, and increased battery life. In FY 2022, the project completed design and fabrication of critical elements required to develop the initial prototype. Work continues in FY 2023 using FY 2022 funds to finalize development and demonstrate the prototype before transitioning to a formal Program of Record within the U.S. Air Force.
