Miniaturizing augmented reality displays into glasses to expand their uses

Graphical Abstract. Credit: ACS Photonics (2024). DOI: 10.1021/acsphotonics.4c00989 Augmented reality (AR) takes digital images and overlays them on real-world scenes. But AR isn’t just a way to play video games; it could transform surgery and self-driving cars. To make the technology easier to integrate into common personal devices, researchers report in ACS Photonics how they combine two optical technologies into…
