AR Eyewear Working with Frames or As Monocle

Vuzix Corporation has released what it calls a Waveguide optics engine on its Vuzix M2000AR HMD that enables smart eyewear technology to fit into standard glasses frames. The engine, developed by Noika, moves light within smart glasses. Vuzix notes that the engine is smaller and lighter than conventional prism-based optics used in competing smart devices. It also delivers a wide field of vision. It uses a 1.4mm thin "window" (operating similar to a fiber optic) with a tiny input pupil that is expanded using a hologram in front of the eye. Light is not bent through bulk material as in conventional optics.

Its display  has four times as many pixels as do Google Glasses, according to Quartz. The technology was originally developed by Nokia and licensed to Vuzix.  Vuzix integrated it with its own waveguide technology and developed other improvements for its release into Vuzix products. Read more.
