Abstract

We have proposed an optical see-through near-eye display method, which combines Maxwellian-view and light-field displays by a space-division multiplexing method. Recent works have reported that a Maxwellian-view display and a light-field near-eye display are both effective methods to alleviate the vergence–accommodation conflict (VAC). The proposed display method combines the advantages of both the Maxwellian-view and light-field displays; the system can provide an accommodation-free virtual image as a background with a large field of view (FOV, 31.5^∘), and a high-resolution full-depth-cue foveal image with a small FOV (10.1°) and a large eye-box. To verify the method, a prototype has been developed to superimpose vivid virtual images onto the real environment.
