| [* black] What exactly are we looking at? Field Sequential Color [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_crystal_on_silicon|LCOS|new_window=true] microdisplays project images through [https://uploadvr.com/waveguides-smartglasses/|diffractive waveguides|new_window=true], which reflect those images back into the user's eyes. The lenses layer two sets of waveguides to create two distinct "focus planes". | |
