Abstract
An augmented reality device including a transparent display screen and a lens system disposed adjacent to the transparent display screen, a control processor in communication with a data store, the data store including one or more virtual image records. If the lens system is a micro-lens, the control processor provides control commands to the transparent display screen to cause generation of an augmented reality image by interspersing inactive pixels elements with active pixel elements to provide a spatial domain combined image of the real world and virtual images. If the lens system is a focus tunable lens, the control processor provides control commands to the transparent display screen and the focus tunable lens to cause alternating transparent views of the real world image object and virtual image. The alternating of images occurring at frame rate greater that visible by a user's eye(s).
