An augmented reality device includes two optical combiners configured to correspond to two eyes of a user respectively, each of the two optical combiners comprising an internal surface for reflecting light from the image source to a respective eye of the user, wherein the internal surface is a freeform surface with a surface function that is based on an XY-polynomial including at least one multivariate monomial; an image source positioned above the eyes of the user to emit light onto the optical combiners, wherein the image source comprises two active displaying areas which are on two different planes; and a housing structure configured to maintain relative position and orientation of the optical combiners and the image source.

A system for human interaction with virtual objects comprises: a touch sensitive surface, configured to detect a position of a contact made on the touch sensitive surface; a reference layer rigidly attached to the touch sensitive surface and comprising one or more patterns; a display device, configured to display a virtual object that is registered in a reference coordinate fixed with respect to the touch sensitive surface; one or more image sensors rigidly attached to the display device, configured to capture an image of at least a portion of the one or more patterns; and at least one processor, configured to determine a position and an orientation of the display device with respect to the touch sensitive surface based on the captured image, and identify an interaction with the virtual object based on the detected position of the contact made on the touch sensitive surface.

A display system for presenting a holographic image to a viewer may comprise a coherent light source, a display element, and a computing device operatively connected to the coherent light source and the display element, the coherent light source emitting a light that enters the display element from the same side of the viewer, and the display element comprising a liquid crystal layer and a partially-transmissive-partially-reflective layer, wherein the computing device is configured to provide a control signal to the display element to present the holographic image, wherein the liquid crystal layer receives light from the light source and is controlled by the control signal to modulate a phase of the light from the light source, and wherein the partially-transmissive-partially-reflective layer receives light from the liquid crystal layer and reflects the light back through the liquid crystal layer to the viewer.
