Hands-on, Step-by-Step AR/MR Lightguide Design

Abstract

This tutorial provides an introduction to lightguide design for augmented or mixed reality (AR/MR). Its main goal is to help you understand how these lightguides are structured and how they can be simulated using VirtualLab Fusion.

To keep things accessible, the designs and workflows demonstrated here are intentionally simplified. 

By the end of this tutorial, you should have a solid foundation that enables you to explore more advanced and realistic lightguide design use cases.
