Abstract: The disclosure describes an apparatus including a micro-display including an array of individual display pixels positioned along a substantially planar emission surface. An optical fixture is coupled to the substantially planar emission surface and optically coupled to the individual display pixels, wherein the optical fixture forms a virtual or real non-planar object surface of the micro-display.

Abstract: A head-mountable device (HMD) is provided for augmenting a contemporaneously viewed “real image” of an object in a real-world environment using a light-field display system that allows for depth and focus discrimination. The HMD may include a light-producing display engine, a viewing location element, and a microlens array. The microlens array may be coupled to the light-producing display engine in a manner such that light emitted from the light-producing display engine is configured to follow an optical path through the microlens array to the viewing location element. The HMD may also include a processor configured to identify a feature of interest in a field-of-view associated with the HMD in an environment, obtain lightfield data, and render, based on the lightfield data, a lightfield that includes a synthetic image related to the feature of interest using depth and focus discrimination.
