Abstract: A system and method of projecting augmentation imagery in a head-mounted display are disclosed. The system includes an eye tracking system configured to generate eye tracking data at an eye-tracking rate in response to a position of a pupil of a user, a head tracking system configured to estimate a change in orientation of the user's head at a head tracking rate and generate jitter data at a jitter sensing rate, a controller configured generate a field mapping in response to render data at a projector update rate, a light generator configured to generate a color encoded light associated with the augmentation imagery, the light generator includes a 2D pixelated display and an optical system configured to image the color encoded light into a field of view of the user, wherein the optical system includes a foveated optical system.

Abstract: A system for and method of projecting augmentation imagery in a head-mounted display is disclosed. A system for projecting light onto an eye includes a display to project light, a beam combiner, first and second optical systems between the display and the beam combiner along respective first and second optical paths. The first and second optical paths differ. The system also includes a switchable reflector that, in a reflective state, reflects light incident upon the reflector, and, in a non-reflective state, transmits light incident upon the reflector. The reflector is between the display and the first and second optical systems along the first and second optical paths and directs light along the first path, in the reflective state, or along the second path, in the non-reflective state, to reflect light from the beam combiner to the eye from different directions when in the different states.
