An image generator is configured to generate display light. A first waveguide is configured to generate wide-field image light from a first portion of the display light. A first outcoupling element of the first waveguide extends to a boundary of the frame to provide the wide-field display to substantially all of the augmented FOV of the user. A second waveguide is configured to generate inset image light from a second portion of the display light received from the image generator.
