Abstract

This paper reviews recent developments in software, materials, processes and fabrication tools that can enable a rapid transition from design, modeling and simulation to fabricating cost effective test parts and prototypes for Augmented Reality and Mixed Reality displays. Using the approaches detailed here, display systems can be laboratory and field tested in a matter of days after establishing design goals and production criteria. Robust and industry-ready Imageguides® (aka planar optical elements) produced from this short run rapid design/fabrication cycle can result in directly printed one-offs for inclusion in evaluation systems or lead directly to the production of masters for additive NIL or etch masks for subtractive processes which are required for production level quantities.
