Abstract

Deformable beamsplitters have been shown as a means of creating a wide field of view, varifocal, optical see- through, augmented reality display. Current systems suffer from degraded optical quality at far focus and are tethered to large air compressors or pneumatic devices which prevent small, self-contained systems. We present an analysis on the shape of the curved beamsplitter as it deforms to different focal depths. Our design also demonstrates a step forward in reducing the form factor of the overall system.
