Augmented Reality Beam Shaping
Augmented reality (AR) beam shaping optics require a strong light source. BrightView micro lens array AR optics, or augmented reality optics, create a custom field of view to steer light exactly where it is needed in your application.
AR requires a special headset or glasses to project images and video into the user’s field of view—either into free space or mapped to real-world objects. The technology is becoming more commonplace in business, manufacturing, and enterprise environments to improve virtual team interactions as a training tool and to visualize information better.
The Basics of Beam Shaping
Beam shaping redistributes the irradiance and beam phase of optical radiation. The shape of the beam is determined by the irradiance distribution. Light beam shaping technology can be applied to both coherent and incoherent beams. Common applications include laser/material processing, laser/material interaction studies, laser weapons, optical data image processing, lithography, printing, and laser art patterns.
