  • the images coming from the micro-display are generated by a video camera placed on the glasses and able to acquire images of the real scene located in front of the glasses. These images of the real scene are acquired and reprocessed by the video camera, which outputs corresponding images of the CGI type. In this case, the user will see superimposed on the real scene a second representation of it, as captured by the video camera, but reproduced and displayed in a digital form.
  • This process is extremely functional, and can be a solution in cases of seriously poor vision if used as a visual aid.
  • the poor- sighted person who experiences great difficulties in the direct vision of the real scene, or even its impossibility, can have access to a exact reproduction of this scene, if suitably processed and represented to the eye in suitable modes.

  • US 2012/0120365 describes transmission optical systems adapted to present to a observer optical information coming from a display superimposed onto optical information coming from the surrounding real environment.
  • US 20122/0120365 teaches an implementation of such optical systems integrating the display into a structure disposed in front of the eyes of a observer and employing associated contact lenses on a surface of which are placed nano-filaments adapted to selectively transmit the optical information coming from the display or from the surroundings.
  • the implementation of a system in which the display is situated in the field of view of the user greatly reduces this field of view due to the necessity of supporting the display with the relevant control electronics for the generation of the images, which is disposed on the edge of the structure bearing the display, thus masking the peripheral vision of the user.
  • the display in the field of view of the user is not totally transparent whereby it allows the transmission of a reduced light intensity from the real surrounding environment and is necessarily selective with respect to some wavelengths of the optical radiation coming from the real surrounding environment.
  • the system in US 2012/0120365 requires an ad hoc construction integrating the ophthalmic lens with the display or with the associated contact lens.
  • the user is able to see images coming from a display, which are superimposed on a real image observable through the lenses themselves of the glasses being thus able to display a combined image, more properly referred to as "augmented”, from which the specific term “augmented reality glasses” is derived.
  • the combined or “augmented” image is composed of the real scene, normally observed by the user, “augmented” by that of the CGI type, which on the contrary comes from the display, also known as "augmentation".
  • the user is thus able to see, at the same time, a real and a virtual scene.
  • the digital images coming from a micro-display are conveyed in a manner known per se into the field of view of the user through an optical path that depends on the specific design implemented.
  • This optical path may also include between its elements the lenses of the glasses, if these are provided.
  • the digital image coming from display is displayed in the space in front of the user: the distance and the dimensions of this image from the eyes of the latter are strictly correlated parameters, and depend on the whole optical layout.
  • an appropriate focal distance of the virtual scene enables the user to bring into focus the real and the virtual scene at the same time. In this way, the two scenes of different nature are integrated by superposition obtaining the augmented image.
  • the element responsible for this integration is known as a "combiner", a term derived from its specific function of combining the aforementioned scenes: this element has a key role inside the layout of the glasses.
  • the combiner typology has a direct impact not only on the quality of the combined image, but also on the weight of the glasses and on its distribution, on its form factor, on the quality of the experience from the ergonomic point of view and, lastly, it greatly affects the cost of the glasses.
  • the nature of the combiner varies with the approach chosen for the optical design (refractive, diffractive, holographic) and with the choice of the relevant technology adopted for its insertion into the general layout.
  • a combiner may be used alone in a free-space optical propagation scenario (with a functionality analogous to that of a beam splitter/coupler) or else it may be integrated into a waveguide, contributing in each of the cases to the definition of a specific optical path. Consequently, its behaviour as part of the whole layout can be described by the theory of free-space or of guided optical propagation, or else, often, by a model which combines appropriately both theories.
  • combiners may be:
  • free-form prisms these are asymmetric prisms; these are also elements of a refractive nature which often take advantage of the interactions of the optical field with more than two interfaces in order to deviate it in an appropriate manner; consequently, they are extremely bulky, heavy and aesthetically unsightly;
  • the diffractive/holographic elements can present the further limitation of 'spectral cross-talk', i.e. of communication between different (chromatic) channels. This phenomenon is due to the fact that the sources of red, green and blue are not ideal monochromatic sources (not having infinitesimal spectral width) and that the holographic/diffractive elements have a finite spectral bandwidth.
  • these elements may be inserted into the general layout as stand-alone elements or as parts of a system in a waveguide.
  • the diffractive/holographic elements are installed in off-axis mode (they are also known as off-axis combiners).
  • the accentuated spectral selectivity has its counterpart in a selectivity of the angular type that greatly limits the field of view of the glasses and the dimensions of the eye-box, a volume of space inside of which the eye can move without resulting modifications to the field of view.
  • the combiners are used in the entry and exit of a transparent waveguide which is part of the optical path carrying the images generated by the display up to the field of view of the user, said waveguide being often made of glass or of a polymer material.
  • the diffractive or holographic element has the function of coupling the field coming from the display into the guide and decoupling it at the exit before the end part of the projection system conveys it towards the eye of the user.
  • the presence of the waveguide is used to guide the electromagnetic field, while conserving it, which in this case conveys the information on the image generated by the display in order to project it into the field of view of the user.
  • the quality of the image and the power consumption do not substantially depend on the length of the waveguide; this characteristic therefore represents an interesting degree of freedom, rendering the system particularly versatile.
  • beam expanders which may also coincide with the combiner itself, with the function of increasing the field of view and the eye box of the glasses, which in this technology are in fact normally good.

  • the HMD that implement waveguides use laser sources, and accordingly exhibit some limits that are fairly well known in the literature: ghost images due to coherent light interference between multiple reflections of the image, speckles, fragility of the element when the material used for the waveguide is glass and, in general, a rather heavy aesthetic aspect.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a new optical device for applications of augmented reality that has a enhanced field of view, that is transparent, that exhibits a high spectral selectivity, a wide angular range of reflection and that is easily miniaturizable and of limited cost, thus solving the problems raised in the preceding analyses of the devices of the prior art.

  • the metal nano-structures in particular of noble metals (gold and silver), when formed into a suitable geometry and illuminated by a external source of light exhibit a high scattering coefficient due to the resonance of the surface plasmons excited by this source (localized surface plasmonic resonance, LSPR).

  • This value may be varied and controlled from 1% to 90% over the whole range of visible radiation, by controlling the shape and the dimensions of the nano-structures with an accuracy of a few nanometres.
